So far Jerboa seems like the move, Thunder looks nicer, but it doesn't seem to play nice with this instance so that's kind of dead in the water, at least for now.

Jerboa is working great for me so far 👍

    Just signed up from Kbin to give it ago. Jerboa working nicely.

    Kbin hasn't got an app which really sucks.

    I like how thunder looks, but not how I can't blur nsfw posts. If I'm searching by active in public, I'd better not be seeing straight up lesbian sex on the front page of my feed, unblurred.

    Jerboa is getting there, but for now I’d recommend using the progressive web app

    What is the benefit of the web app? A genuine question

    From what I've seen, you can search for individual comments/posts related to a topic (advanced search), send private messages, you can see what's trending and there are more options for moderators to manage and create communities.

    But Jerboa is already good and I prefer the interface over the web app, especially on mobile. The only issue bothering me is table format is broken.

    I just tried Jerboa and it looks pretty good: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa/

    I put jerboa in the place where I used to have the Sync Pro app mostly just to start coming here out of habit. But a lot of times I end up browsing through chrome because I get a lot of random JSON parse errors in Jerboa. There's a paid app called Fedilab I'm curious about but it doesn't seem to work with Lemmy instances yet, I think it's mostly for Mastodon.

    thunder looks cool, but just like jerboa it is in early alpha, they can be a bit unstable, for the time being i'll personally stick to the web browser.

    Trying Jerboa right now, don't like it.

    All text fields show as password fields, no dictionary, submitting a comment is slow af.

    Use the web app. It works very well.

    Jerboa. It's pretty bad though, I wouldn't even really call it "usable" since it crashes so much, had to just browse on Firefox on my phone.

    It just started, though. I'm sure once they get over the hiccough of the influx of new users, itll run smoother.

    I haven't had any issues with crashing (so far).

    I don't think I've had a single crash apart from when clicking on a lemmy link

    What device / os are you using it on? I have it on a Pixel 4a and it works with no issues that I've noticed, been smooth sailing. Coming from RIF it also feels fairly familiar.

    I figure at this point, forget about apps and stick to the website. Good Android apps will come in time.
