What's your lemmy app of choice? - eviltoast

I’m currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

      I’m testing connect right now and so far it works very well. Unfortunately Jerboa crashed for me all the time since the last update. I’m still hoping for a bacon reader version for Lemmy.

    Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.

    • Jerboa is the most complete, but it’s not very good… It’s slow and the UI is very bland.
    • Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It’s still pretty buggy though.
    • Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there’s some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.

    IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.

    Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn’t support wide screens very well.

    New user here. I use the Web app for now. Connect seems to make my phone freeze for whatever reason and I can’t seem to login with jerboa because “my server version is too low”…

    Jerboa for now. The other ones I’ve tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.

    Jerboa is the most feature-complete, but it crashes pretty often and it adopts new Lemmy API versions a bit early, so all instances don’t always have the time to get updated. Besides, the look is simple and functional, but I can’t say it’s pretty.

    So far, I really like Thunder’s looks, interface and UX. It’s not very intuitive, but the swipe-based gesture system is really promising, and so far it’s also the prettiestt. It still lacks many important features (editing posts and comments), but they’re not essential enough to prevent me from using them, and I’ve been mostly browsing with that in the last few days.

    Liftoff looks really good as well. As others said, it looks a lot like Infinity, which was my go-to Reddit app. However, I don’t like the dark theme options we have so far: dark is too light, and AMOLED is a single black screen, which makes posts hard to distinguish at a glance. Once we get more theming options, I might switch to Liftoff.
