What are the best Lemmy apps for Android/Apple?

Liftoff is great! Works on iOS, android, Linux, and windows.

Liftoff for Android has been great for me.

I am using Connect for Lemmy, so far, I like it, but it’s the first app I’ve tried, haha. I used RIF for at least 10 years. Geez, didn’t realize it had been that long…

Edit: ok, I’m using Liftoff now, I love it so far!

Jerboa is the one I’m using. I prefer its UI to the mock apple layout from wehweh

I’m loving wefwef.app

I replaced my RiF icon with it and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything…

I’m loving wefwef, feels extremely like Apollo. I definitely found my new home.

I want to use wefwef but, it’s strictly a web app, so I can’t place it in my sidebar/quick launch and I dislike having things on the homescreen

popemichael, 11 months ago

You can install it like a normal app

I have it in my side bar

Pika, 11 months ago

it might be a restriction for edge apps, I can put it on my home screen but it doesn’t let me drag or manually add it onto the edge app panel. I expect it’s because technically it’s not an app but a shortcut

popemichael, 11 months ago

Did you install it via the installation link?

wefwef.app/settings/install

Pika, 11 months ago

yes, it it designated as a shortcut on the home screen, you can tell its a shortcut because it shows the browser in the corner of it.

it’s intentional by design(because its a web app) but, because of this designation it isn’t able to go on the edge bar.

I’ve found connect though which works amazingly for what I wanna do. It reminds me of Infinity somewhat

I like wefwef. It feels familiar, but there’s nuances. It’s a bit of struggle to transition to this new interface. Reply and upvote and downvote are behind a menu, not right at the bottom. Clicking the message collapses it instead of opening options. But it’s fine, I like it so far.

I’ve been using Jerboa all day and it seems solid.

Here’s the community Lemmy Apps.

Here’s a list of all the apps: lemmy.world/post/465785

Plenty of devs moved to Lemmy and plenty of choices across platforms. :)

After using Jerboa (cannot recommend - too buggy, too crashy, and didn't work properly with most servers after an update), I switched to Connect for Lemmy and was happy with it.

sarcasticsunrise, 11 months ago

Agree/10. Connect is where it’s at for now as far as I’m concerned, for now

Poeticbiscuit, 11 months ago

Thanks for this. Currently using Connect and so far it’s been good.

Pentotion, 11 months ago

For android, Thunder

PillowTalk420, 11 months ago

I’m using Connect for Lemmy on Android and it’s pretty close to how RIF looked, but not exactly.

Stony_Logica1, 11 months ago

RIF refugee also now using Connect for Lemmy. It’s been a fairly easy transition. I like the swipe guestures. Hopefully the community will grow because FUCK SPEZ.

Reallyreallybigman, 11 months ago

Thanks for the comment because I immediately started swiping my screen. Neat feature.

jpeps, 11 months ago

Agreed. I’ve only had a quick look round but I’ve felt most at home and confident that I’ll be happy with Lemmy using Connect. Enough of the settings are the same. I there were settings to get the posts in list view a bit tighter I’d be happier.

Also, did it take anyone else a while to figure out that you can long press on comments to hide them?

wefwef.app is pretty good (and a web app, so cross platform)

jerboa is decent, the new updates are nice but are only compatible with 0.18 (which lemmy.world will update to tomorrow)

Liftoff is okay, I haven’t enjoyed it as much as jerboa or wefwef.

I also use the actual site’s web app a bit, but I hate the live updating feed lol.

sxh1991, 11 months ago

Hopefully LemmyIsFun is on the way

MothBookkeeper, 11 months ago

He says he’s working on Tildes, but I agree anyway.

Fractalfarmer, 11 months ago

I’m enjoying Connect For Lemmy on android. I couldn’t get on with Jerboa even after much changing of settings.

CasualPenguin, 11 months ago

Same. The muscle memory is a bit different but Connect feels pretty similar to RiF

WigglyTortoise, 11 months ago

I’m loving Wefwef so far. It doesn’t have much in terms of customization, but it’s much more polished than any of the other apps I’ve tried. wefwef.app

Definitely holding out for Sync and Boost though, I have a feeling one of those two is going to be what I settle on long-term.

CaptainBlagbird, 11 months ago

Currently I use Connect for Lemmy the most. I also have Thunder, Liftoff and Jerboa installed.

Connect seems to work best for multiple accounts on different instances, supports notifications and I just like the overall look-and-feel.
