I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that’s open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?
You’re doing an amazing job. I really like what you’ve done in the short amount of time!
For me it already has everything I need I think. Now the content on Lemmy as a whole needs to pick up.
Maybe some quality features to consider:
True AMOLED mode (currently it is only parts of the interface)
Adding an image and video viewer for opening those that are hosted on typical hosting platforms would be absolutely tremendous (everything else gets opened in my external browser)
When going back into the comment section of a post the app goes to the position where I left if you know what I mean
Even though Wefwef works really well, I’m so comfortable with Boost after using it for years for Reddit that I’m super excited to get that user experience back on Lemmy!
I’m thinking about going for liftoff but it wants you to have an account on each server / instance. It doesn’t get the idea of how federation is supposed to work
I have the iOS version, you only need to sign in on one instance, but you can also view other instances without logging in, which i think is a good idea. For example you can add beehaw, which is not viewable on lemmy.world
I’ve been using Jerboa and Liftoff, as the combination of both has what I’m looking for (Liftoff has an option to see feeds from other instances without having to log in), but most of the time I use Jerboa
As someone who has 6 lemmy apps installed, and constantly cycling between them, I’d say for now connect and liftoff are the best although each has issues that the other migitates. I’d say you won’t go wrong with either option, with it mostly being personal preference.
As a former user of infinity for reddit connect feels a bit closer layout to what I was used to, but liftoff seems to have a slightly better ui.
Yeah, that’s on me as I’m still working out the documentation. Essentially you prepend any user or community with the service you are attempting to hit up, so to view posts from android you would navigate to lemmy:[email protected].
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

Connect for Lemmy is my go to. The dev just released an update too with a ton more features. It’s working great and I like it more than WefWef.

Thanks for sharing. I do like WefWef and the fact it feels like a full app despite only being a Web app.
Connect dev here. Glad you’re enjoying it!
Can we get this on fdroid?
Totally agree, atleast we can download apk somewhere outside of Play Store.
Hello, fellow Canadian from lemmy.ca ! 😀
We’ve spoken on here a couple of times before. But you’re probably getting inundated with users to keep track of everyone. 🙂
Ah haha! As soon as user tagging lands this will all be easier to keep track of.

Connect has been working well!
Connect for lemmy has gotten better now that i can hide posts without interacting with them.
Jerboa is the best I’ve used so far, though hopefully Boost will be even better when that’s released!
Boost for Reddit was an absolute top tier application.
Even though Wefwef works really well, I’m so comfortable with Boost after using it for years for Reddit that I’m super excited to get that user experience back on Lemmy!

I tried several and found wefwef to be there best
Liftoff works best for me. Looks good, feels good. Tried a few and it just snapped.
I’ve been using connect, I like it more than jerboa at least. But I’m planning on switching to Sync once it’s out
Jerboa has gotten pretty stable since the exodus, I also have Thunder and Liftoff installed, but mostly switching between Jerboa and Thunder.
I like those two last ones because they kinda have a Sync feeling to them, will definitely buy Sync once it’s ready!
Jerboa is my favorite right now, but I’ll be buying Sync as soon as it’s available.
I bounce between wefwef and Liftoff. When one has a hiccup, I just swap to the other.

Have you checked out Infinity for Everything?
Yes, but I have no clue how to use it, lmao

androidyou would navigate tolemmy:[email protected].Feel free to reach out with any other questions!
Connect is doing awesome!
I did this for several days/updates and then settled on Jerboa.
Thunder and Jerboa are the best so far. Both have had updates in the past few days that have polished things.
Thunder user here and I can vouch for it, though it still needs some improvements of course.
Plus you can sort of follow communities in Jerboa now.
wefwef.app is not bad. Liftoff is good too but after last realme phone update it crashes the phone.
Any with notable Foldable and Tablet support? I used Sync for Reddit cause of how solid the foldable function was
I know the developer is working on Sync for Lemmy.
What features are you looking for? Also on a foldable and wondering what I’ve been missing out on.
