lemmy apps you should try and experiment with

I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit’s official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven’t tried yet.

Kahroo,

I’m using Thunder and I’m liking it while I wait for Sync for Lemmy to be released.

HouseMouse,

If Thunder could fix its bugs and add more ui customization the it’d be golden.

Yeah, I like it for the most part but really am not a fan of the swipe gestures.

Coeus,

I wasn’t a fan of the gestures either but I got use to them quickly and they aren’t bad.

Coeus,

Thunder has fixed the majority of it’s bugs, it just lacks a few features how but the dev is already working on adding more.

Thanks for this comment, I hadn’t heard of thunder yet (been using liftoff, jerboa, and connect). So far thunder is the new best of the bunch!

firipu,

I see vivaldi, I upvote! Best browser around

I see Niagara, I upvote! Best launcher around

yes sir!! been using niagara launcher since last year and just switched to Vivaldi on desktop lately. damn man, I don’t ever see myself using that google launcher ever again on my pixel phone no matter what updates they bake

datavoid,

Switched to both of these within the last couple months, both are great. Niagara is admittedly probably the most expensive android app I’ve purchased, but I think it was worth it

U forgot Thunder

fmstrat,

Thunder should 100% be on this list.

I’m very excited about Infinity for Everything.

I’ve been trying them as well. It feels like each one (so far) has something problematic–quite understandable given their early development.

I’m really looking forward to trying Sync when it’s ready.

The alternatives have looked nice, but overall I keep coming back to Jerboa as it has had less bugs for my experience. But I also get automated updates via F-Droid and previous versions have been buggy.

Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can’t even find it to download

I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff

Oh, didn’t realize it wasn’t in the Play store

FWIW, Wefwef is a progressive web app, not a native app.

Doesn’t work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn’t any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).

Huschke,

It’s because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.

iByteABit,

Still didn’t work on Firefox though

Chrome probably works the best for PWAs, maybe try some Chromium alternatives to see if works properly.

iByteABit,

You’re right, it installed without problem on Chrome, I’m writing this from wefwef

RedditWanderer,

Connect works well for me on Pixel6! I feel they are fixing stuff too because it has less and less quirks every day

It's not an app, it's a website that resembles an app. Apollo, specifically.

warmaster,

Lemmotif is unusable as it is. You can’t even log in to an account. On the other hand, Summit and Thunder are worth a try.

@desorientado@lemmy.world avatar

right now I’m using Jerboa and Connect. I liked connect because the UI it’s pretty similar with Sync

Miro,

Sync had a navigation option to go to the next “top comment”; I can’t find this feature on wefwef nor Connect.

Do the others have something similar to navigate comments inside posts?

DustyNipples,

Jerboa has this. So far it’s the only one (that I’ve tried) that has this feature.

Haha, I got them all in a folder too and would rate them similarly. (Tough, Liftoff is above wefwef for me)

I Update them all regularly and snoop back in to see how they’re progressing. So far it’s been really fun and inspiring to see these madmen developers push out 3 updates a day

If I get to make one recommendation: the thunder app is also good, but only available through GitHub (I guess?), so you’d have to install via an apk. Worth it in my opinion, as it comes close after wefwef in my ranking! :D

I don’t think there’s an android version out for Memmy yet.

blade85,

Tried jerboa and wefwef, now on liftoff and this one seems best for my use, so gonna stick to it for a bit while other apps are made.
