I have tried many of them in the last 2 weeks: thunder, jerboa, connect, liftoff but now I’m loving wefwef. Still waiting for sync, tho.

I will jump ship from Liftoff the second Sync is back

It’s weird that Thunder, most polished Lemmy app, is not even on the list

It has some niceities missing like how many unreas replies you have. But it’s much better UI wise than Jerboa and actually marks posts as read unlike Liftoff. (Will make an issue when I get around to it)

Which app do you use to mark post as read automatically?

Thunder and Jerboa both mark posts as read after you click on them. Same goes for the webinterface. You have to enter the post, opening the preview image doesn’t count.

Ha ok, what I want is to mark post as read once I scrolled them (even with opening them). AFAIK, there is no any client which do this

Why does Thunder, the most polished app, not simply eat the other five?

I agree. Since joining the beta, I’ve exclusively used Thunder. I never encounter errors or load issues and comments are posted without issues.

Every other app seems to have problems. Started with Memmy and wefwef but I couldn’t handle all the loading errors.

Memmy has been improving very quickly.

I think Jerboa goes in the A tier. Liftoff would be easy S tier if only it had an easier way to view comment context (like Jerboa).

Too bad too, because I would agree if Jerboa didn’t have so many bugs.

The latest version (0.0.38) fixed the bugs for me. The previous one (0.0.37) was nearly unusable.

F-droid still shows 37. Where did you get 38?

GitHub + obtabium for automatic updates

I just grabbed it from their GitHub.

Liftoff added that, although the UI is a bit clunky

I only tried the two inside fdroid, jerboa and that other one. On now and it seems fine but i don’t have much to compare it to. Seeing as how this lemmy stuff is new to me and i only tried the two.

Edit: ACd Hernia, changed back to jerboa. Lol hernia

The other big issue with Liftoff is that you can’t search for communities outside of your own instance without first adding the instance said community is hosted on. Unless someone can correct me on that.

What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it’s an older version issue for you

This is what i want. I can view comment context with just a click or two but it would be more convenient to just be able to view it from the inbox screen

Ah yeah I see what you mean, I can usually guess what someone’s replying to since I don’t post a huge amount but now that you mention it it really should it directly in the inbox

Liftoff! is super snappy, but I can’t get used to the UI, to me it seems like it lacks attention to detail on the visuals part of the app.

Edit: I just figured out why it looks so strange to me: the app is very Material Design-y, so it feels outta place on iOS.

As a jerboa user myself, I’m pretty confident Jerboa is C or D tier at best. It has a very buggy UI, crashes very frequently and is a nightmare to post comments. I’ll hold my beliefs until the devs fix those issues

You missed Thunder

I would put Jerboa above LiftOff and Connect, because I like the UI more

Agreed, feels better executed to me personally

What are the two in S tier?

Wefwef (rainbow) and Memmy (black)

For me Jerboa is S tier just because os available on the F-Droid store (and its works)

Hard agree. This is what I concluded from my research also.

Yes but Liftoff is usable on low end devices

I like the rat.

Where is mlem on this list

As much as it reminds me of the good old days of old.reddit I don’t want to perpetuate that UI. I stuck with old.reddit to the end because new reddit was so awful, not because old.reddit is good

Try Jerboa again if you had trouble. The last couple updates were huge leaps forward

Thunder is the best. I try the other 8 apps I have but keep going back to thunder. It’s so much better.

needs text; too oblivious to know minor differences in mouse shapes

I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.

Jerboa is not at B, it barely works

Works fine for me – posted from Jerboa

How is this being downvoted? Upvoted via Jerboa

Can’t take your app being criticized for crashing so much that it’s useless on my OnePlus 6t? The app literally wouldn’t stay open long enough for me to give it any real judgement. That’s my experience

Posted and upvoted from Jerboa. Working fine and looks good. And is on FDroid so bonus.

Things have been updated since and it seems to finally work again for those of us it was broken for. Give it a shot! Or don’t because for me scrolling is still laggy as hell lol.

I’m loving wefwef but have two gripes

  • It seems to get laggy with prolonged use (Firefox on android)
  • The way pressing Posts/Inbox/Account/Search operate like tabs where you have to back back back to the main screen

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
