Also using Liftoff. Haven't tried Summit though. Others have felt inferior to Liftoff. The second Sync is released im gonna spend w/e it costs tho. Love that app.

[โ€“] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Second Liftoff. Quite good, but still missing my Sync options.

[โ€“] TheAmorphous@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My only problem with Liftoff is there seems to be no way to set the font size of comment text. It's incredibly tiny on my screen. I can change the title and subtitle font size for the post cards view, but not the comments within.

[โ€“] Mikey_donuts@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Tried a few. Quite happy with liftoff.

Have used jerboa, wefwef but find myself preferring the liftoff experience until sync is released.

[โ€“] Nibbler@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I have tried connect and Jerboa. Connect has good featured but the user experience is lacking. Refreshing does things you wouldn't think, errors are TOO verbose and take up half the screen. But the customization is super nice and allowed me to make it almost like RiF.

Jerboa is the opposite. The UX is great and what you except from an official app. But there are missing features. Namely the inability to browse other instances unless you create an account who's home instance is there. Also the customization is a bit lacking in regards to what's on screen and how you interact with the content.

I'm not complaining simply stating my findings. I would love to try more apps especially some from any of the reddit app developers.

[โ€“] Magister@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Connect guy made his 1st version in like 5 days and update multiple times a day, it's impressive as a developer. Jerboa is nice too, now that network is more stable there is no more all kind of errors. In list view, Jerboa is about like Sync.

That connect guy is everywhere!

[โ€“] Album@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using liftoff till sync comes around. The experience has been pretty good coming from jerboa

Connect just had a big update in the last 24hr, seems smoother now

I've tried all of the current available Lemmy apps and so far liftoff seems to be the most well rounded. Can't wait for sync, was my favorite 3rd party app for reddit.

[โ€“] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liftoff had some bugs with link handling and message replies so I switched to Thunder, and it's been great with a very active and responsive developer. Still, the second sync is out, I'm back to my roots.

[โ€“] sadbehr@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fellow Thunderer here. I've also tried out all the apps. I keep coming back to Thunder. It's clean.

Yep, same. The only thing bothering me right now is that I keep those "oops, there's nothing here" timeout message when opening comments to reply, and then a second later they load anyway. Might just change the timeout sensitivity. But that's really complaining on a high level.

[โ€“] sachasage@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liftoff is pretty broken on iOS

[โ€“] Crazychicken563@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Posting from Liftoff but I'll be switching to Sync first thing. Can't rush perfection though, I'm happy to wait for the best Lemmy app

[โ€“] skepticalifornia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm eagerly awaiting Sync but wefwef is pretty damned good in my opinion.

[โ€“] seacocker@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I still find the look and feel of it a bit outdated, but functionally it's great.

[โ€“] dusk@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Does anyone know if there are any tablet compatible Lemmy apps?

Can't wait for Sync!!!

[โ€“] ChaoticGood007@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it's a lot to ask for a platform that's just now gaining steam but I got a Z fold recently and as far as I can tell nobody has a good two pane feature on their app yet. Anyone know of one or which apps have it planned?

[โ€“] atocci@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am also using a Z Fold and so far ivengot nothing. Hopefully Sync will be bringing the two pane feature over from the reddit version.

[โ€“] haych@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I've tried a few. At the moment I'm using the PWA Wefwef.app

It's similar to how Apollo was, not perfect but good enough until Sync comes.

[โ€“] prey169@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does anyone know if infinity is making a lemmy app?

[โ€“] Ahmed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's one developer said that he's working on developing a Lemmy client that's "inspired by Infinity" https://kbin.social/m/programming@beehaw.org/t/58630/I-am-working-on-a-new-lemmy-app-for-iOS

[โ€“] prey169@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

ah thats sweet ! Thank you!

[โ€“] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

has anyone tried boost for Lemmy? it just says register for me instead of install

[โ€“] EvilColeslaw@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's just pre-registration -- so you'll get it automatically when the first release drops.

[โ€“] Krompus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not ready yet
