I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^
Wefwef but I’ll be using sync once it’s available
Wefwef. It’s incredibly polished and fast, especially for a webapp. It runs circles around new reddit performance wise, even with the servers being a raspi trampled by a horde of reddit refugees
Thank you for the wefwef recommendation. I’m just now trying it out and it feels very polished.
WebApps which is a sandboxed browser for progressive web apps
wefwef and Liftoff until Sync arrives.
Jerboa for me, too. Mostly because it was the first thing that came up on the app store for me, and there isn’t a Lemmy is Fun (…yet?). So I tried Jerboa and it’s perfectly capable.
I’m on iOS and I’m using Mlem. It seems to be changing and shifting rapidly. Already changed noticeably 3 or so times within three to five weeks. Imagine if Reddit app fixed three to five of the bugs that most annoyed me that quickly…
Liftoff. I also tried Jerboa and Connect, but Liftoff just has the best look and feel. Having said that, as an old Boost for Reddit user I’ll be switching to Boost for Lemmy as soon as it releases.
There isn’t much choice - F-Droid only contains Jerboa (not counting abandoned and broken Lemmur).
WefWef works great as a web app. Just open wefwef.app in your browser and click install in browser context menu.
Is it read only, or do you have to trust your credentials to third party service?
I believe they don’t store any credentials on the server. If you really don’t trust them you can also host your own instance. You can read more here
Memmy (iOS) reminds me of Apollo, feel right at home. I don’t even miss Reddit at this point.
Now that the app is working a much better, I’m excited to see what further development will look like.
The .world server improvements have helped a ton
Memmy. It even had a full release on the App store a couple of hours ago, so no need for testflight anymore. There are updates almost daily and it gets better and better.
Oh that’s great to hear, I was used to refreshing TestFlight and seeing what had been changed
I have Memmy, Liftoff, Mlem and wefwef. Like the interfaces of Mlem and wefwef the best so far. One app doesn’t have it all yet and if there’s a hang up with one I can try another!
I’m giving wefwef a go since there seems to be more notification options, messages and such available than that of memmy
I’d like to know what I am doing wrong when trying to log-in. I can’t be the only person having issues.
I have this account (Hazdaz) and I’ve tried logging into wefwef, Connect and Jerboa. On ALL three apps on my Samsung S21FE I get an error message that my credentials/password isn’t correct. I’ve used my PC and reset the password. Changed at least 2 times now and tried again logging into these 3 Android apps and the error is the same. What can I possibly be doing wrong? The only way I can access Lemmy is on a computer. I’ve asked about this a few days ago and some helpful people replied but nothing they suggested worked.
How can this be so difficult?
Make sure you are selecting the instance holding your account. Eg: if you signed up on “lemmy.world”, then in your mobile app > in the log in page select “lemmy.world” then enter your creds and log in.
Here is a screenshot from “jerboa”
I have gone to that screen a million times now. I have tried lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (even though I am pretty sure it is .world). I have used “Hazdaz” “hazdaz” and “HAZDAZ” and I’ve triple checked my password. I’ve done this over and over and I always get “incorrect log-in” or something like that.
I don’t know what else to do.
Lemmy.world is going through maintenance right now. I think it mostly finished yesterday though. Could have had something to do with it.
But every time I try to log in there is maintenance?! I just don’t get it. I’ve tried maybe 2 dozen times over the last week on multiple apps on multiple devices and same issue. I’ve reset my password multiple times. I’ve double, triple and quadruple checked the password I type in.
Is there a way for more than 2 people to have the same username?? That makes zero sense, but so does not being able to log-in on a mobile device and yet I can post this fine on my desktop.
Might want to see if you can contact the devs for .world. They might be able to help you, it’s a strange issue you’re having.
might be wrong instance? nail down the instance/capitalization of the account. change password to no special characters… verify on desktop first.
I JUST changed my password again. No special characters. Logged off my desktop, logged back in. No issues. Then tried it with Jerboa and no luck. I don’t know what I can possibly be doing wrong.
This has been asked dozens of times in the past days and weeks. I wish people would use the search function.
Long term I hope we move a part of this to the wiki. https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F
To still provide something helpful for the current thread: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/
While I agree I think the answer changes weekly :)
I’m on iOS. I’ve tried Liftoff!, Mlem and Thunder. So far I like Mlem the most.
I have never used Boost for Reddit, but I’m still excited to see what Boost for Lemmy will be like.
If you liked Apollo, try wefwef.app
It’s a PWA but works extraordinarily well
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Connect has been awesome for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I’ve found for Android at the moment, loving it here too
And the dev is rolling out features at a crazy pace. It feels like everytime I open the app it’s gotten significantly better
