I actually just switched from Jerboa to Connect based on this thread, and I'm loving it. Much nicer UI and easier to use. I think I'll stay with this until Sync is ready!
Currently using Jerboa. I want simplicity and no clutter. It would be nice if there was a “collapse all” for comments. And would like to be able to double-click an image and have it zoom in.
I'm using Jerboa, Connect and Summit. I really like Jerboa, but rn is buggy as lemmy.world is still at 0.17.4 while Jerboa only support 0.18. I'm still trying out Summit and Connect, only time will say!
Huge fan of Thunder - it’s still in alpha so it’s missing features, but it’s slick as heck and the developer is crunching out great updates already based on feedback on the GitHub page/their community page! Using Jerboa mostly for now, but likely will be using Thunder as my main in a few weeks :)
I downloaded connect for lemmy yesterday just to see, and although it won't let me sign in unless I give it my email instead of username. (ive been SOL if an instance doesn't require an email, but maybe it works on someone elses) i think I'm liking connect better than jerboa though. For me it's been less glitchy, and it easier to access content.
I’ve tried jeroba, liftoff and thunder. My experience with jeroba is mostly negative. It’s not good enough to be a full replacement for using a web browser and with the new update it crashes on my older, not bleeding edge phone. It can’t even open lemmy links people post half the time.
Thundar is ok. I’m not a fan of its interface but at least you can actually browse communities you aren’t subscribed to.
The third one I’ve tried is Liftoff and it’s the best one I’ve seen so far. It’s about the same in terms of quality as Boost for reddit. You can explore new communities in other instances, have more than one active account logged in to be able to simultaneously use different instances and best of all there’s a search.
I'm using Jerboa, but a version from GitHub. The app in Google Play and F-droid crashes upon being opened... at least on my phone.
📝 Note that the most recent version on GitHub doesn't work too, since it requires a higher platform version of Lemmy. Use a version of Jerboa a bit older if you're using the .world instance of Lemmy.
swipe from the left to bring up the navigation menu, and click the veeeeery top. On mine it shows my profile name but that is where it lets you add accounts.
Dont know who decided to give you a downvote, but correct imho. Older Jerboa works fine but is missing some new features and themes (that I didnt even use yet).
Another list I got from a similar post on r/RedditAlternatives. I personally used Slide for reddit, so I'm excited about getting something similar for Lemmy. For now, I got Jerboa from the play store and am enjoying it.
