Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on too:
A lot of good options coming up, will be fun to see how it plays out!
Edit: !lemmynade@lemm.ee for anyone wanting to follow
Man that looks good
Thank you, that means a lot!
lemm.ee looks like it’s running a pretty old version and I can’t search that community :( could be a me issue though.
Ahhh too bad I can’t sub to the community right now (I guess it’s a very new community and my instance isn’t up to date for now)
Man I love how new apps are coming out everyday. It feels like I’m witnessing history in the making, in the next 5 years we can probably talk about the time when Lemmy was getting a new app everyday.
Thanks for your contribution, looks great! The more the merrier.
I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now, because Jerboa keeps showing the server version error when opening it.
This is where I’m at, but Connect seems to freeze up on me a lot, so I’m thinking of getting a third lol
i switched to thunder after connect kept crashing whenever i tried to open it. so far it seems alright but i can’t see any way to vote on comments.
I use wefwef.app now, first comment in this app. Looks good. Jerbora Was crashing on me all the time…
Which app is most like RIF? I’m using Jebora currently.
Jebora is glitched in my phone so now I’m using liftoff, the UI is not the best, but at least it works
Summit is the closest from what I’ve seen. But it has some very basic things missing like an inbox. But it’s my favorite feeling app.
I tried using Jerboa but it’s very badly bugged right now. Have been using Connect for Lemmy. As a long-time (10yr ) RIF user it doesn’t even get close to RIF, but it’s the best I’ve used so far. Here’s hoping TalkLittle or someone else makes an app for Lemmy (as I understand it he’s making RIF for Tildes, but Tildes has its own problems). Connect for Lemmy is OK, and is quite usable.
Jerboa 0.0.37 is awesome. Huge Liftoff user past week :D
I strongly disagree.
0.0.37 is completely unusable for me. It crashes on startup. And the updates before are terrible when it comes to playing with anything but the bleeding edge of lemmy versions. Switching profiles is also shit.
Jerboa started crashing on me after the latest release. Then it updated and has worked great ever since
I also tried Lemur, but never got it to actually load after logging in
That’s because the instance you’re using is not updated to 18. Im in jerboa right now and it’s buttery smooth. I use liftoff and connect but jerboa is still tops. Currentlyat .0.37
Crashfest
Ditto. Wasn’t working well yesterday. Updated this morning and now it won’t even open.
Installed Connect and am very happy.
I‘m using wefwef.app as webapp on iOS and as website on Desktop-PC and it reminds me of the Apollo app for reddit.
Eyyy my friends on IOS were complaining about no app! Thank you!! Looks pretty nice
I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I’m happy with it.
Typing with connect, you can tell it’s beta quality but it’s pretty good so far
Connect feels the most like Boost, so I’m happy with it.
Thx you stranger, this is the boost-like app I was looking for !
Learning the gestures currently with Connect. At least it doesn’t crash randomly.

I’m using connect since it’s the only one I have found that have notifications, I had to turn them on in the settings, it polls every 60 seconds.
Not trying to come across as an ass, but how much do you care about notifications? Personally, back on Reddit I would only ever care about notifications when I was scrolling (which is what I got) if I wasn’t actively using Reddit I didn’t care for them.
I mostly comment when I’m asking for help or helping someone else. Also I forget my ongoing conversations, so notifications is a must for me. The only reason I know you asked me this is because I got a notification 😉
Same, I named the folder “Battle of the Lemmy’s”

Liftoff, jerboa and thunder currently.
Edit: does anyone know if any android app allows hiding posts? (locally on the device, i think the servers don’t support)
I think connnect for lemmy allows it. I remember seeing it in the settings.
I just found out about wefwef.app
Same here, completely switched, it’s obviously made by the Apollo dev and no one can convince me otherwise. Wefwef has immediately made Lemmy usable to me, can barely notice a difference from Reddit running through Apollo.
Talk about endorsements lol
How do you downvote using wefwef? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Edit: Ah ok I got it. You swipe to do so. It still seems to be missing very basic features like editing comments and blocking communities though.
It follows the apolloapp.io gestures. Swipe to the far right to downvote.
It’s slick. I can’t believe it’s a web app. The reply buttons are a bit different, I had to find the swipe to reply.
I like jerboa because i can install it from fdroid
Only one app? Those are rookie numbers
wefwef & thunder here 🫡
It’s absolutely crazy how great wefwef is, considering it’s a progressive web app.
I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.
Im waiting for the block option and hide when read.
Zero so far. Who needs (third-party) apps, amirite?
Well technically Jerboa is first party app
I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now, been using Jebora and also Liftoff. Sticking with Connect for now, I’m liking the swipe actions
Indeed, the swipe actions are really nice. Wefwef and Thunder also have them, but they from what I can tell don’t have a page for my saved posts/comments, so right now Connect’s my favorite.
I used mlem for a bit but memmy is my go to right now
Same, Memmy rocks
None of them are very complete. The ones that are good are missing features and the ones that are complete aren’t good. I’m using wefwef.app for the most part. Just navigate there in your browser and bammo! Instant app.
I was using wefwef, it looks nice but it’s slow and has awkward UX. Every time I want to reply or vote, I have to take a second to think about which way to swipe
I think you’re into something about not complete or not good - I was hoping to be one of the firsts, but building a solid foundation takes time - I could’ve gotten something out there a week ago, but I’ve got big plans - I want to build discovery and sorting into the app, I want to be able to pull from multiple servers at once, and I want users new to Lemmy to have their hands held as they pick a server. And obviously, it has to feel responsive
To do that I had to build a data store and coax high performance libraries to play nice. I was pulling posts and had the account switching working on day 1, but I didn’t even start on posting until a couple days ago - and only after I made drafts that would reload when you go back
It’s easy to build something rough, fast, or inefficient Building something polished means working on the foundations, building it up, and doing and redoing things as you consider what feels “right”
Give Flemmy a shot in a few days if you’re on Android (more like a couple weeks on iphone). It’s still early days and there will be bugs and missing features, but, now that the groundwork is solid, it’s moving fast
UX may be a taste thing but I cannot second the speed critic. On Firefox it’s sluggish as hell, yeah, but using it with Chrome wefwef feels like a native app.
