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?

liftoff is the best I've tried so far

Using Connect, waiting for Boost (Sample page from Playstore image), and gotta admit, Lemmy is pretty awesome on the web as it is.

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

I'm hopping myself but Thunder is quite solid, so far it's the one that I like the most.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa for the moment, of the couple I tried is the one that performs the best and it looks good.

I'm waiting for Boost though since I used it for reddit for the entirety of my time there, I'm a loyal user.

Tried thunder. It was easy to use but currently using wefwef. It's not a native app rather webapp. It's following the apple's design ruleset, app looks like a native iOS app, but much better when it comes to performance and stability.

We know sync and boost will be paid I’m wondering will anyone pay for it when there are so many FOSS apps now!

Waiting for Sync, if it has 25% of the user experience it had for reddit I'm a happy person

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa should be the recommendation based on what you are looking for.

Open source, saw someone else mention they got it on whatever F-droid is, stable af (0 crashes on pixel5).

Bonuses, it has buttons, looks clean, runs smooth, swiping isn't obsfucating UX/UI as it does expected things like going back. (wefwef is painful if you can't get behind IOS UI chicanery)

Thunder. It's on IzzyOnDroid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm trying out both Connect and Summit atm - the latter I've not seen mentioned at all by others, but feels very comfortable as an ex-Joey user

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No one mentioned Summit yet? I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder, Connect, Lemmur.. pretty much all of the available Lemmy client and in the end I uninstalled all of them but Summit.
