jerboa most of the time : it's quite light (3,2Mo), it's on fdroid, it's pretty useable. But it's crashing a lot thèse days
Thunder.
I want whatever is closest to Baconreader
I'm using Liftoff.
Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.
Only used connect so far so can't comment on the others. Feels nice and smooth, looks great and has some nice features. Liftoff seems to be the go to here, might check it out.
I'm using wefwef. Its very uhh Apollo inspired.
I am using jerboa but really miss redreader, the creator floated making it support lemmy and I am excited for that possibility but am sticking with jerboa for now.
Currently using a mix of Jerboa, Liftoff and web. Still waiting for the one app that can do it all.
Personally, I use Jerboa on mobile. It's got its own problems and compatibility issues, but they're also not so significant that it makes me want to go use another app, and with lemmy.world still being on an older version that probably isn't compatible with most apps that work for 0.18 and above, the risk of breaking everything makes it not that worthwhile.
If Sync for Lemmy releases with half of the features and polish of the Reddit version, it's going to default to be the app of choice.
Thunder is pretty gorgeous with some issues.
Jerboa is the most feature-complete, but it crashes pretty often and it adopts new Lemmy API versions a bit early, so all instances don't always have the time to get updated. Besides, the look is simple and functional, but I can't say it's pretty.
So far, I really like Thunder's looks, interface and UX. It's not very intuitive, but the swipe-based gesture system is really promising, and so far it's also the prettiestt. It still lacks many important features (editing posts and comments), but they're not essential enough to prevent me from using them, and I've been mostly browsing with that in the last few days.
Liftoff looks really good as well. As others said, it looks a lot like Infinity, which was my go-to Reddit app. However, I don't like the dark theme options we have so far: dark is too light, and AMOLED is a single black screen, which makes posts hard to distinguish at a glance. Once we get more theming options, I might switch to Liftoff.
Connect for Lemmy
Pretty slick so far
I originally used Jerboa. It was okay, but not quite what I was looking for. I've tried Connect and Liftoff and like those better. I'm waiting for Sync, as that was my Reddit app of choice.
Boost for Lemmy is coming soon!
Connect for Lemmy at the moment, as it has a very similar interface to sync, but I've signed up to be notified when Sync for Lemmy drops. Sync had everything I wanted for my Reddit app, and I'm hoping for a similar interface for Lemmy when it arrives.
Still on my phone browser. So far not seeing any downside to it compared to PC browsing, so I think this will be fine.
Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!
Same here, loved Boost
Been trying all of them but I keep going back to Liftoff. Looking forward to Sync and Boost.
Yep! Liftoff is the choice until Sync comes out! It does the trick.
Commenting from "Connect for Lemmy". I started using Jerboa, bit it's broken just now, it'll hopefully be back in an update soon.
