What lemmy android app do you recommend? I have too many problems with jerboa. My problems with jerboa:

  • When I write a pm to someone it sends that message to myself
  • Language of the interface is Polish (my first language) and I can’t change it to english (at least on the version that I’m on rn)
  • Scrolling is very buggy (it stutters a lot)
  • Often when I want to make a comment it doesn’t send it and I have to go to my pc an rewrite my comment to be able to send it
  • It doesn’t play gifs on the feed by default, I have to open the image to play the gif
  • It doesn’t play gifs in the comments at all and there’s no way for me to play them
  • There are no embeds for videos (not sure if there’s any mobile app that has that)
  • etc.

What I’m looking for:

  • An app with developed UI/UX
  • Obligatory dark mode
  • Something that resolves my problems with jerboa

Any recommendations or apps that I should follow the development of?

      That’s the one I’m using as well right now though the newest update introduced significant lag when interacting with the sidebar, I’m unsure if that’s cause of the number of subs I subbed to.

        I could be the case. I’m also on the latest and not have many subscriptions yet ( around 30 ) - the sidebar is still responsive and quick.

        May i ask how many subscriptions are we talking about in your case?

    I use Firefox for Android. It works perfectly, everything is usable, good UX, has dark mode, and the app even works for other websites!

    You can even install the ublock extension to block all ads & trackers in opened links, or use it to block large images by default to save data. And you can install the tampermonkey extension to add this userscript I made, which rewrites all links everywhere (not only on Lemmy) to always point to your home instance. It helps a lot with subscribing to communities and in general makes browsing the web and finding Lemmy links nicer.

    I honestly don’t see the reason why you’d want to use a separate app.

      I use Firefox on mobile too. UI could be a bit better (like more separation between comments) but it’s nice and seems to work better than the apps.

      Thanks for the useful script!

      Agreed. Loving connect so far. Lots of options in settings for appearance. I’m coming from relay for reddit so choosing ‘reverse list’ makes the experience most similar

    Also using connect. Used to use baconreader for a decade and it doesn’t feel all that different.

    Is anyone else afraid of making a typo in Jeroba because there’s a 50/50 chance teh backspace key will fuck up a few previous words? It’s the only app where this happens on my phone but I haven’t yet seen anyone else complain

      It’s a known issue. Unfortunately it’s a bug in a library they are using, so the only thing they can do until it is fixed is to disable autocorrect (which also doesn’t seem to work atm). I’ve encountered the same issue in another app about 6 months ago, so I don’t think it will be fixed anytime soon.

    None of the current apps are amazing, but some are pretty useful already. I currently mostly use Liftoff or Connect. Jerboa is indeed way too buggy lately. I also have Thunder, Summit and Lemur, and I’ve signed up for Sync. I just checked out Thunder and it’s also coming along nicely.

    I would suggest to install a few and check them out every now and then. Basic functionality is there but time will tell which will get the most polished and which will suit you the most.

      I discovered wefwef today. It’s the most impressive web app I’ve ever used, to be honest. Let alone being my new favourite Lemmy client.

    I think anyone is going to have issues with posts for a bit as thousands migrate here. Had all types connection issues yesterday and is spotty so far today. Servers look like being bombarded.

    On mobile I don’t really mind just using the browser. Everything works quite well and I prefer it over most of the apps. Now trying wefwef and it seems like a bit of an upgrade.
