I'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.

I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

I'm the developer of Summit. Unfortunately I don't see anyone mention Summit but I would suggest giving it a try as well.

I think I've been a bit slower to implement certain features compared to the other apps, but the app is heavily focused on scalability and performance. Give it a try just in case you might like it. Play store link: Summit for Lemmy

I found Summit about 2 hours ago and love it! Thanks for your hard work.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

[-] Life_inst_bad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I just came from Reddit to ckeck lemmy out, looks quite promising. I am tring out different apps at the moment but summit looks and feels fast and responsive.

Do you by any cance release it on the F-droid appstore?

Didn't find this when I was looking for lemmy apps at google play store. I downloaded it now and it's the first one that actually works on my phone. Thanks.

If you are a fellow reddit refugee, the Sync for Lemmy is coming soon.

[-] llxerneasll@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

These are the apps I'm using rn. So far i like thunder, connect and liftoff.

[-] rtsuya@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

out of all those you are testing which one would you say has the closest UI to reddit is fun?

[-] Blazingflames6073@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Can you link lemming? That's the only one i can't see to find

I'm new but Jerboa works like a charm on my Samsung, very fast and responsive.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's bit buggy, sometimes I press to open a sub and I need it used the internal browser and sometimes it takes me there within the app. No idea why it has two options.

Since the most recent update it closes wben I bookmark something and keeps saying to log into my instance.

[-] Nobody5585@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because not all the instance links has been added to Jerboa. It's reported on github and hopefully will be fixed soon.

[-] Turtle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My only complain is it's a little too easy to click on the sub instead of the title, other than that Jerboa has been great.

[-] Yoz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Try lift off from Github. Someone posted the link in the comments. Its amazzzzing

I'm currently switching between Liftoff, Thunder, and Jerboa, altho Jerboa refuses to let me sign in, 'cause server version BS.

Liftoff has a nice UI IMO, and I like Thunder's navigation, so I'll prolly end up using one of the 2. Notably, Liftoff is more feature-complete than Thunder, so... Depends on what you want I guess.

Well that got out of hand quickly.

Have a nice day!

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Liftoff for some reason won't let me upvote posts from other instances. Very odd because it tells me I would literally need to make an account on every instance to upvote posts.

[-] eating3645@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same hear, it seems that every app has a fair share of bugs, and the only way to determine which is best for you is to test them and see what you can live with.

[-] ToNIX@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I tried them all (Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmynade) and I like Jerboa the most. The layout is clean, compact and it works really well.

I was a Slide user on Reddit so I'm waiting for it to be available for Lemmy!

[-] howler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This might sound crazy, but i am just using the website via Firefox on my phone. Jerboa wasnt doing it for me, and someone recommended just using the website... I prefer it over jerboa. I imagine with all the development going on, there will be something better showing up, but until it does, I'm just going old school.

[-] Deltharien@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Jerboa was doing fine for me until Jerboa got updated beyond the Lemmy instances I've been browsing (which aren't updating because the new Lemmy release removes the captcha, which then prevents new sign ups). Now Jerboa says the biggest Lemmy instance is below the minimum version Jerboa supports, and refuses to open the instance. Helluva bump in the road...

The developer of Sync for reddit is creating a lemmy app. Can't wait to try it, as Sync was my favorite reddit app.

[-] feidry@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'm using Liftoff as of this morning when Jerboa started crashing every few minutes. So far, so good.

[-] lortikins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

+1 for liftoff! Still supports older and newer versions of lemmy, unlike jerboa.

[-] squigglemonster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Any chance someone could ELI2 how to install this (on Android)? I've only installed stuff from the Play Store before.

Jerboa - a bit buggy still, and sometimes posts take a while to load, but its features are fantastic.

Connect - I love this app, and I tried to switch to it, but being unable to disable "swipe to upvote" is a dealbreaker for me.

Liftoff - I just switched to this. It's very polished and responsive, and accomodates my preferred way of scrolling and interacting with communities.

Lemmotif - pure minimalist doomscrolling. It doesn't even let you log in to vote, comment, or post. Blazingly fast, and I love it. Uninstalled.

I'm using Jerboa, Connect and Summit. I really like Jerboa, but rn is buggy as lemmy.world is still at 0.17.4 while Jerboa only support 0.18. I'm still trying out Summit and Connect, only time will say!

[-] Yoz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I tried lift off from Github. Its just like Infinity for Reddit.

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Jerboa, works better than any other app atm

Another list I got from a similar post on r/RedditAlternatives. I personally used Slide for reddit, so I'm excited about getting something similar for Lemmy. For now, I got Jerboa from the play store and am enjoying it.

[-] Naiakoa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Currently I use 'Jerboa for Lemmy' It has yet to fail me but that is the usual default app. If anyone has any information of a better app I am willing to try another :3

I'm currently using Liftoff since lemmy.world isnt on 0.18 yet and therefore doesn't work with Jerboa.

[-] mudmaniac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

lemmy.world is waiting for 0.18.1 because 0.18 removed captcha as a consequence of a change away from websocket, i think. they announced they arent going to update until its added back in, which the lemmy developers promised to do.

[-] Falmarri@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It seems to work pretty fine with jerboa for me

I also use mainly Jerboa, though I'm keeping an eye on Liftoff bc it has a nice interface and promising set of future features

[-] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I've tried jeroba, liftoff and thunder. My experience with jeroba is mostly negative. It's not good enough to be a full replacement for using a web browser and with the new update it crashes on my older, not bleeding edge phone. It can't even open lemmy links people post half the time.

Thundar is ok. I'm not a fan of its interface but at least you can actually browse communities you aren't subscribed to.

The third one I've tried is Liftoff and it's the best one I've seen so far. It's about the same in terms of quality as Boost for reddit. You can explore new communities in other instances, have more than one active account logged in to be able to simultaneously use different instances and best of all there's a search.

Another satisfied Connect user here, at least for the time being. It needs polishing, but it seems to just work.

[-] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've found Connect for Lemmy to be a great successor to Reddit is Fun

[-] atomkarinca@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I really recommend you to try them out and see for youself. Each of them has their own power. Especially now that there's a flow of interest this way, a lot of them have gone nuclear and pushing new versions by the hour (not kidding).

Yeah, Jerboa is good and battle tested but Liftoff is good, Thunder is good, each in their own unique way. I love that.

Seven Android apps for lemmy are listed here (disclaimer: I haven't tried any yet)
