I’m trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.
I know there’s a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I’m not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

I’m really loving the web app. I run this in Brave. It’s lightweight has almost all the functionality.
That’s what I use as well, works just as good as most apps and does what I need.
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.
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).
I haven’t figured out how to login using Jerboa. There’s no option for me.
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.
If you are a fellow reddit refugee, the Sync for Lemmy is coming soon.

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.
why not web browser. that’s what i use
I’m currently using Connect for Lemmy and it’s pretty good tbh
Same here, so far really good experience.
I’m currently switching between Liftoff, Thunder, and Jerboa, altho Jerboa refuses to let me sign in, 'cause server version BS.
Liftoff has a nice UI IMO, and I like Thunder’s navigation, so I’ll prolly end up using one of the 2. Notably, Liftoff is more feature-complete than Thunder, so… Depends on what you want I guess.
Well that got out of hand quickly.
Have a nice day!
Liftoff for some reason won’t let me upvote posts from other instances. Very odd because it tells me I would literally need to make an account on every instance to upvote posts.
I had this issue until I manually selected my logged-in instance from the dropdown list at the top of the main screen.
Yep, this is the secret :-) We are still working on how we make the whole multi-account thing more understandable and usable.
Jerboa is the one reccomended by most. Personally, I’m trying out liftoff, used to be called lemmynade, and I like it so far. The only things I dont like about it is not being able to click on replies to get context, and your username not being a different color or highlighted to differentiate which comment is yours on posts but thats pretty much it. Afaik theres also going to be sync for lemmy but not sure how long until it gets released
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!
How do you switched to your subscribed communities in connect? I seem to only be able to switch to ‘all’ or ‘local’.
You’re probably not logged in.
Just realized now that Connect labels subscribed communities as “Frontpage”.
All solved!
Have a look at https://wefwef.app
It’s a Webapp which works pretty good.
Liftoff is amazing and the two main developers for it have been very active with updates and changes since they forked it from the old Lemmur project.
wefwef is a very slick web-app which follows iOS design guidelines that I also enjoy using. It’s easy to install via Safari/Chrome/Firefox on both iOS and Android.
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 been liking Connect.
Me too! Just migrated from Jerboa to Connect due to Jerboa not working properly for lemmy.world
I like that there are daily updates. I’ve been abusing the “tiny left swipe to upvote” feature from the latest version. I can scroll and upvote using just one (smallish) hand
I don’t mind it but how the hell do you collapse comments??
Long pressing the comment will collapse it.
I had an issue signing in, but it turned out my keyboard was adding a space at the end.
There is Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder. You can upvote/downvote, reply and whatnot by doing side-swipes. Pretty neat.
I second this. Hs been my favorite so far.
