Best Lemmy client for Android? (lemmy.world)

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?

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)

F-Droid is like the play store, but with all FOSS apps. You have to side load it, and then it essentially side loads all the apps you want from it's store. Its pretty neat!

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 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

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.

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

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

I concur with all of the wefwef and Thunder app suggestions.

Thunder is nice but it doesn't seem to have Searching posts feature

I'm trying app for a month, problems were mostly from instance network unstable and all, at some point only PWA was ok.

Now the latest Jerboa is stable and pretty nice, in list mode. Connect is updated every day with new features and bug fixes.

I'm waiting for Sync.

I've been using liftoff. No real complaints. It was having a bit of issues but I think it was mainly due to the influx of users.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I tried Connect but had issues getting certain instances to load. Honestly I've been accessing Lemmy through Chrome of late and it hasn't been too bad.

Very much looking forward Sync for Lemmy though.

I bounce between wefwef and Liftoff. When one has a hiccup, I just swap to the other.
