I’m an Apollo refugee and Memmy is damn near the same experience - it’s great.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ditto. Memmy has a very familiar feel to it. Hell, it's even got a lot of the same themes which is a big plus.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Jesus fuck I never knew it had themes I could change. Thank you so much dude. This looks way better Although I wish the green theme didn’t change the whole screen to look like a filter just pasted over it

Thunder as well. It just got a playstore release.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was using Jerboa and Liftoff alternatively when I found out your comment. Thunder fixes all of my complaints ty!

If you do end up having any, let us know on [email protected] or the github.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, I will try this. Ultimately I know I just want Boost, but I always had a backup reddit client on my phone, so let's see what ends up taking second place.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Felt the same about Relay, and was really bummed it isn't making the hop to lemmy. But now that I'm on the team making Thunder, I'm hyped af to make it something even better.

Voyager is the best. Big plus for it being a PWA.

I use Connect, having tried most of what's out there but can't wait to get my hands on Boost.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Liftoff

Connect can't connect to feddit, lol and jerboa seems unfinished.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used connect with feddit.de without any issues.

I have Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder and Connect installed and cycled through them to test them out. But lately i noticed i seem to be gravitating towards Connect.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same, except I now more often seem to settle on Liftoff.

Liftoff is the smoothest for me so far. Connect is great, too, but I can't stand the Icon. Same with Jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Connect is such a well designed app but you'd never know it based on the icon. It really is ugly, though not as bad as jerboa's.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's true the Jerboa icon is off-putting for me too

I'm using Connect currently and it's pretty good so far.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Enjoying Connect as well. Dev is very responsive and has been making tons of changes and improvements. Reminds me of rif

Looking at the Github for Jerboa, I feel like some text and icons aren't that greatly sized.

Liftoff looks pretty good but I personally dislike the + button on the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wish we had a poll vs trying to read through all these posts....

I flip between connect and jerboa. Jerboa would be my go to, but it's got too many issues.

I'm using Liftoff, it's still in beta and feels rather clunky but it'll do until Boost comes out

I've been trying both Jerboa and Liftoff. I think I'm liking Jerboa a bit better, it sort of reminds me of RIF a bit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Im using jerboa but definitely wanna change when boose comes out

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I briefly tried Jerboa, but I kept getting errors when trying to connect to some instances. I switched over to Connect, and that's been working well for me so far. The dev is making consistent updates.

I use too many, but lately only using apps that allow me to hide read post and mark as read while scroll, meaning:

  1. Voyager
  2. Connect for Lemmy
  3. Summit

In that order, whenever Thunder gets these features I can see myself rocking it until Sync or Boost for Lemmy enters to the game!

I have high expectations for that hinted Voyager native app though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I like the look and feel of Jerboa, but it has a bug on my device where I'll be typing and it'll just jump to middle of the post and start deleting/overwriting stuff.

I like how Liftoff can provide a unified All feed with content from all instances, but the feed just looks so noisy and icon-heavy

Connect seems the most well-rounded and the closest to a Relay for Reddit replacement, so I've been mainly gravitating toward that.

Thunder just didn't hit with me for whatever reason.

Have been loving voyager aka wefwef the best. Reminds me of when I used to use apollo. Can't wait for boost but this one's pretty good too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Connect, much better than Jerboa as of today.

Liftoff, connect was too laggy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thunder was the first I tried two weeks ago but didn't really like it at all. Maybe it's time to try it again, though it seems I have trouble logging in on it now.

I used to like Liftoff the most, but something changed in the last update and I don't like the new appearance of the feed as much.

I still go between it, Jerboa and Voyager and sometimes Connect. I don't like how Liftoff handles replies in the inbox, for one reason. It also shows only combined votes, not separate up/downvotes, while Voyager and Connect require an extra click to vote/reply to comments.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Just Jerboa. Only one where material works as it should.

Thunder and Connect are kinda ok but the typography hierarchy need too much configuration to get right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I started with Jerboa, but am now using liftoff. Both are . . . OK. I'm not going to bother with another one until Boost gets released.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been rotating between these. Have had issues with both so start using the ither one when the problems get bad with the current one.

I tried Thunder as well but that was the worst experience.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Liftoff. I tried Jerboa, Connect and Liftoff and bounced between Connect and Liftoff for a while, but I mostly gravitated towards Liftoff. It's OK for now, but I don't think any of these apps will stay on my phone once Boost is released.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Jerboa, I only wish I could swipe to the next post instead of having to back out and then click the next..
