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.
You must log in or register to comment.
If you are a fellow reddit refugee, the Sync for Lemmy is coming soon.
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 had an issue signing in, but it turned out my keyboard was adding a space at the end.
I don’t mind it but how the hell do you collapse comments??
Long pressing the comment will collapse it.

Connect looking good right now, although I’m also a fan of Liftoff and Thunder
There was another thread about this previously. Have a look through the suggestions there as well.
But that’s this thread?
I’m new but Jerboa works like a charm on my Samsung, very fast and responsive.
Try lift off from Github. Someone posted the link in the comments. Its amazzzzing
It’s bit buggy, sometimes I press to open a sub and I need it used the internal browser and sometimes it takes me there within the app. No idea why it has two options.
Since the most recent update it closes wben I bookmark something and keeps saying to log into my instance.
My only complain is it’s a little too easy to click on the sub instead of the title, other than that Jerboa has been great.
My current problem with jerboa is that it keeps pestering me to update server to a newer version without giving me a clue how to do it.
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.
Liftoff for Android is better than Lemmy imo having tried both, there are less annoying quirks.
I’m just sitting here waiting for sync
I tried lift off from Github. Its just like Infinity for Reddit.
Have a look at https://wefwef.app
It’s a Webapp which works pretty good.
I love Jerboa, but can’t right now because
lemmy.worlddoesn’t support the latest update. Currently using Liftoff for the meantime.I’m browsing lemmy.world with Jerboa right now, I just get a warning that this instance is using an older version and to tell the admin to upgrade.
I’ve noticed today that I can’t sort by anything other than “local/active” in jerboa.
My phone updated last night, so maybe it’s related to that?
But it’s super annoying, as it makes it impossible to see new content.
Yeah, you need to subscribe to some of the ‘subreddits’ on fediverse. At least that’s been my experience. Otherwise you will not get suggested communities.
why not web browser. that’s what i use
I’m currently using Liftoff since lemmy.world isnt on 0.18 yet and therefore doesn’t work with Jerboa.
I think Jerboa still wasn’t updated in F-Droid, so you should be fine if you get it from there. F-Droid also allows you to downgrade of you need to.
lemmy.world is waiting for 0.18.1 because 0.18 removed captcha as a consequence of a change away from websocket, i think. they announced they arent going to update until its added back in, which the lemmy developers promised to do.
It seems to work pretty fine with jerboa for me
Apparently it works if you are already signed in, but a fresh install doesn’t work.
Ah I see. That would explain it
