I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit's official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven't tried yet.
Due to a bug in reposted comments about Summit, I will be locking this thread to prevent further issues.
Feel free to make a new thread about Lemmy apps!
So far I've used Jerboa, Connect, and Liftoff. So far my favorite is Liftoff.
What am I doing wrong?
I can post on the Lemmy website (typing this on my desktop right now), and I have downloaded and installed a couple of the apps listed above on my Android phone, but I can't log-in into any of them.
I have tried many times over a couple of days now so I don't think it is because of the Reddit refugees swarming this site or those apps, but maybe I am wrong.
One rather confusing thing is that when I try to log into wefwef for instance (but I think the other apps have something similar), it asks for Account's server. I don't know. I pick lemmy.world but I am only assuming that is correct. Then the next screen asks for username or email. I've tried "Hazdaz", I have also tried the email this account is tied to. I have tried all lowercase. I have double and triple checked my password. But everytime it says "double check your credentials".
Are there any others than jerboa for android?
Wefwef is strange, you go to website and then install app from there. It's actually good.
Tried Summit and Connect, not that impressed yet.
I’m really digging wefwef on my iPad since it is pretty much Apollo for Lemmy.
I'm trying out Summit now and it's quite good. But I don't think it has a list of communities that I'm subscribed to and I can only choose to either see all posts from my "subreddits" or all from my instance/federation. Apart from that it's good.
Piece of advice, if you submit a comment and you get an error or if it just disappears, the comment possibly still got submitted.
I've been having the same issue, so write a comment, copy it, submit it, reload the page and see if it got posted, if not just paste and try again.
Which ones are open source?
Jerboa is as well.
I know liftoff is open source

The ones that I liked the most so far are wefwef, but I still can't save posts and block user/communities. The other is connect because there's a easy enough toggle hide read in the settings, although for some reason it's not linked with the lemmy profile setting to hide read, but it works the same.
Looks like lemmotif is in super beta and can't even add an account. It does load pretty quickly though.
Just tried the GitHub release but posts fail
More choise more better :)
