Lemmy apps for smartphones - eviltoast

Links to a hopefully growing list of lemmy clients.

There is an official FOSS lemmy app for Android called Jerboa that I’m using to create this post and it seems to work pretty well but that’s not all, there’s an iOS app, some BBS looking thing and some libraries that interact with reddit…

Wonder how useful those will be once the api changes happen in July, maybe worth trying them while you can…

What app are you using? Any thoughts about how they work? Just the website seems on your phone seems way more usable then any official reddit anything which is nice.

Man, I can’t find the submit post button…😅 Edit: i had to select a community first

    I am using Mlem for iOS and i think it is great. I had many error codes when using Limbo and I didn’t like that I couldn’t save multiple accounts. Mlem let’s you save accounts and specify the instance, and it has a better UI than the mobile website and Limbo.

    I’m using Connect, which is usable, I suppose, but it’s not great, IMO. Links to other instances don’t really work that great, as it interprets them as users.

    Tragically, I was looking into this this morning only to find that the sole iOS app is no longer available. Android is really spoilt for decentralized social media apps 😆

    Actually, the web UI works/renders surprisingly well in mobile Safari on iOS, so I’ll be sticking with that for now.

    Another Jerboa user here, pretty neat app but there are times where it becomes a little unresponsive on my device. Feels pretty similar to Infinity which is something I like.

    The lemmyBB project from that list seems pretty neat though, could be an old-school way to browse lemmy on a desktop and might even benefit some communities depending on the primary format of content.

    Hoping we get some more Android app variety for Lemmy, although imo we’re spoiled for choice when looking at available apps for other federated software

    I have tried both Jerboa and lemmur. I don’t mind either but both have given me issues logging in from tiem to time.
