Devs themselves said on github that jerboa is more a side project with how focused they are on lemmy itself
It’d be better to just drop it at this point and focus on Lemmy. It’s causing people to get fustrated. The other apps are doing a much bettter job now.
Which one would you recommend for Android?
Liftoff
I can recommend, for Android:
Connect
Liftoff
Thunder
I’m using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I’ll just stick with one, but it’s exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).
Thunder is also on F-Droid, which will also keep it up to date
The only reason I haven’t switched to it from Jerboa is that sometimes I’ll make a comment so I can come back to a thread later, but there’s no way to check your profile on Thunder
Next version is adding this i think. https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.
Yeah, +1 to Wefwef - been using it on all my devices and it’s great!
Yep, it’s going steadily downhill. New bugs introduced, old ones unfixed.
I’ve moved to Liftoff for now, which is nice. As soon as Sync is available, I’ll be there.
After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I’ve been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I’ve seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can’t see anyway to adjust it.
on wefwef there is an icon for configurations where you can change font size (Settings -> appearance)
Nice. Thank you!
You’re welcome!

I’m using “thunder” right now. Can recommend
That swipe right to up-/dowvote is super annoying. Should be swipe right for up, swipe left for downvoting.
Didn’t check if an issue has been opened, yet. Otherwise looks very promising.
I wish RedReader would exist for lemmy. It’s UX has been tuned over the years and is 99.9% perfect.

I like thunder but there are just a few things I dont like about it
You can disable swiping
Jerboa works perfectly fine for me and it’s probably my favorite out of all the ones I’ve tried. It’s unfortunate you’re having issues.
Your instance must be on the latest version. I think it’s mainly lemmy.world users having issues atm.
or use V0.34. It works for me

I moved to liftoff and signed up for the sync newsletter. You can just download the liftoff APK and install without much hassle.
Or use Obtanium to get it!
Thank to this comment I am on Liftoff and is quier a delight so far. I am sad for Jerboa but it just doesn’t work and i missed being here.
Liftoff is the best app right now.
Have you tried https://wefwef.app?
Wefwef is great
Another vouch for wefwef, it’s been my preferred app
I’m using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it’s working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.
This is the client I was using and it just won’t start anymore. I’ll try again later but guess I’ll try another client in the meantime.
I’ve just downloaded Liftoff. It’s pretty nice. And it works:) 😁
Connect is pretty good!

I had the same issue until I cleared all the data in the app. Now I can see the posts but can’t get logged in. Commenting from the web lol
