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)
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
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

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 forgot about it
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

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.

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
mlmym.org S tier

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

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

I’m loving wefwef but have two gripes
