If you're on Android give the "Jerboa for Lemmy" app a try
It runs really well now. I dropped it a few weeks ago due to some errors I was getting and the inability to see NSFW content, but that all seems to have been fixed.
Can definitely recommend. I turned on the "dark mode" and it feels quite slick.
If you're on iOS you might want to try wefwef. I know there's also mlemmy and mlem, but I haven't been able to give them a try because I don't have an iPhone.
Seconding Jerboa... there's a lot of apps popping up and I haven't tried them all, but Jerboa, despite being a bit clunky at first, is a quiet contender.
Also it has, by far, the cutest app icon, and really that's the important thing.
Jerboa is good, but it is bug ridden. Crashes everytime you download large images from other communities across the fediverse which stinks.
I am actually liking the app, Liftoff. It is just as feature Rich as Jerboa but doesn't crash when downloading images.
Their is also Connect for Lemmy which is also just as feature Rich and as stable as Liftoff.
Their is also Thunder and Lemmotif but they are still a major work in progress but are slowly getting their.
My vote is for checking out Liftoff if you haven't checked it out yet.
I have tried liftoff but for some reason it becomes super sluggish and crashes.
Weird, I haven't had it become sluggish or crash. I've had crashes from Jerboa and Sluggishness out of Connect for Lemmy. Haven't experienced it from Liftoff.
But guess it could be explained by different android firmware and hardware. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Why hasn't anyone mentioned Thunder? This shit is fire! 0 issues and smooth as a dream!
I'll give it a try later today. Thank you!
Definitely recommend Memmy for iOS. I’ve tried both it and Mlem but with how quickly the dev has been updating and responding with fixes and changes, I’ve stuck with Memmy.
I was really liking jerboa, but then i got an update that broke it. If i enter the comment section on a post and then back out, the app completely crashes. I reinstalled through f-droid, but still have the same problem. I even tried clearing app data and cache.
I really like the jerboa interface and plan to continue using it once the problem is fixed, but for now I'm stuck with Connect for lemmy.
Edit: just got an update and it's fixed now.
I wonder if it has to do with the version your instance is on. We recently updated ours.
Jerboa is a great mobile option. I'm definitely taking notes of these other apps people are using as well, though I prefer browsing on PC. Very glad I found this place, and thanks @wander for all the work in keeping up running.
