Don’t know what app I like yet.
- Connect have the worse UI in my opinion (things are hidden).
- Jerboa crashes a lot on my phone.
- Thunder is slow to load and the search is bad.
- wefwef I like the search and exploration, but the text editing is the worse.
Where’s Sync?!? 😭

Despite the iPhone-focused interface, I’ve found myself using Voyager/Wefwef the most. Liftoff is second. Jerboa is third as it is functional, but just doesn’t seem to match my work flow.
I also have Thunder and Connect, but I don’t find myself using those as much.
I’m also patiently waiting for Sync.
I love wefwef/voyager. This might not be a normal feature people use but I love wefwef’s deep linking feature (on android). I have a push notification system for lemmy which detects incomming emails from lemmy and uses ntfy to send reddit sync like push notifications. In wefwefs case I can set ntfy to open voyagers inbox directly. Voyager is also nice since opening a unread message (or interacting with it) auto marks it as read (which I don’t believe other clients do for some reason, I could be wrong though).
Same I can’t wait for Sync for Lemmy release meanwhile on android I’m using Liffoff
@[email protected] @razieltakato nevermind, I finally get the hole point of this so called fediverse :amogus:
Same
I actually settled on werwef. No apparant bugs. Text size is adjustable. Easy to read.
I use Liftoff, a relatively new app for Lemmy. It has replaced boty Jerboa and Thunder for me. So far so good
Yeah, I’m using Liftoff and wefwef interchangeably.
I switched from Jerboa to Connect, and then stayed with Connect.
Connect has blocking communities and hiding threads which is fantastic. I’m waiting for something better, but I need to be able to block the massive amount of futa/hentai/ai porn communities on here.
Seriously, I feel like I block 3 to 5 new porn communities per day. There’s some weird shit on here. Can’t wait to til we can block whole instances. I would like to be able to browse All without seeing lemmynsfw
Connect has a block instance feature. I haven’t used it.
Ugh. I wish posting a comment wouldn’t switch me to a single comment chain. I want to keep scrolling from where I was, not have to find it again!
That’s like my list. Keep the real porn
I bounce between Jerboa for discovery(its search works best for finding communities) and Liftoff for browsing posts. Though Jerboa seems to be improving faster than Liftoff.
Try wefwef for discovery, I think it’s the best
I guess it’s called Voyager now, no longer wefwef
I should really give that web app a try
Wefwef is my go to on iPad and Liftoff on Android.
I think the most recent Connect updates makes it much better. I’ve been using it more than Liftoff the last couple of days. Is Thunder not on the Google Play store? I couldn’t find it.
No, it is on GitHub and IzzyOnDroid.
First and only (?) to allow instance blocking at the user level.
Liftoff?
One thing that puts me off Liftoff is the dark theme isn’t dark enough for me but I find the Amoled mode too dark.
Yeah I agree completly. That puts me off too. Im using wefwef.app atm. Looks good, but too much ios like for my tastes. Also Liftoff now is crashing all the time.
I’m trying it right now, it’s fairly good
Liftoff is awesome!

I was just looking at lift off.
I was trying to look at other 3rd party apps just to see which I liked while I waited on Sync.
Liftoff is awesome. It’s what I’m using now waiting on Sync.
I’m holding out hope for boost lemmy. Used boost exclusively for Reddit for the longest time. Jebora seems to work best for me but Ive had both Jeb and connect for a while.
Also waiting for Sync :(
Wefwef is kinda nice, but it’s so iOS-y
I like it overall, but it’s so unintuitive to me. Not a huge fan of the slide functionality, especially the dual action sliding. It probably gets easier once you get used to it though.
It definitely gets easier as you use it. Now the slides in connect irritate me, because if I overshoot and reach the save one, it saves even if I don’t actually remove my finger and that’s annoying because I have to unsave again.
I really didn’t like the UI. Very intuitive for being on Sync for years. I’m on Jerboa while waiting for Sync to be ready.
I’m on Connect right now. I quite like it, especially how fast it is (or maybe that’s a consequence of Lemmy being fast in general). UI seems clean enough. But I really really miss the content filtering that Sync provided.
I was really positively surprised to hear Sync is being developed for Lemmy. Hoping it releases soon!
I’m mostly on mobile for vacation reasons, so I’m chilling on wefwef, but if they don’t add blocking soon I’ll move on. Can’t handle the “blahaj”.
I’m most excited to try Liftoff because it looks like the most x-platform compatibility? I think I saw windows/macOS/iOS/android, and I use all 4. I prefer apps to website browsing for this sort of thing on desktop, so that’s attractive.
Interested to hear what other people are using/enjoying!
Liftoff feels nice, I just hope it had more theming options. Wefwef is nice but as a webapp it still feels a bit clunky.
Neato thanks for review. Will keep playing with these two as they evolve.
Lichess? :D
Yes! Wanna play? I have the same username there (razieltakato), 999 ELO o Rapid
Sure! I’m usually a correspondence player, still learning a lot.
I was too. I really improved when I stopped correspondence and started rapid.
I’ll give rapid a shot, my username is the same on lichess as well if you want to start a game
