Jerboa is a really good app considering is still Alpha
I agree. There’s definitely work to be done but considering the massive influx I think it’s doing pretty decently okay
For those uninformed:
Reddit Sync’s dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin looks like a spiritual successor to Apollo; will even be on both ios and android
@git Jerboa isn’t terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn’t good.
I’m hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit
+1 for Infinity for Lemmy.
Infinity and Boost are my favorite Reddit apps.
Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it’ll get forked by someone (it’s open source) and it will work with Lemmy.
I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I’ve currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.
sync looks amazing, I would use it if it was foss.
I have hope for RedReader. This is my favourite reddit app. And it’s foss.
memmy is going to be ported to android as well
Jerboa for lemmy: am I a joke to you?
I like Jerboa in fact I made this post from Jerboa. Just wanted to draw attention to large amount of new third part clients that has been getting announced lately
it was constantly crashing for me.
Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it’ll only get better.
Yea i can ses the similarities, but i keep trying to swipe on things and it doesnt do anything
Sync for lemmy is coming and ill probably jump back to that, especially if its open source. Else i hope the jerboa folks take some more design cues from the other apps to make the whole ux feel a bjt quicker/easier
Wait sync for lemmy is coming? That’s awesome.
Ha, I come from Infinity and I also keep trying to swipe on stuff out of force of habit. Would love some more options regarding or else other apps to get a hit more variety in the future, but I get this is all still in its infancy.
Am I stupid or am I missing a way to permanently set the “source” to subscribed instead of local? But apart from that it is quite good already.
It’s under Settings->[Username] settings->Default listing type
Thanks

It stutters on my Pixel 7 so no, it’s just stuttery in general
Interesting, it runs without stutters on my Pixel 6, but crashes often. Either way, alpha software isn’t expected to be stable, so hopefully it will get better.
Same on my Galaxy S22. We need an app that scrolls smoothly at 120fps. Maybe Jerboa will improve over time.
I started using Lemmynade. For an alpha, it’s surprisingly good! Replying to you from it btw.
it’s not on fdroid :<
Also shout out to liftoff. I find the ui very appealing
Jerboa is pretty damn good on Android. No complaints here, coming from relay and RIF
I got it looking like BaconReader! You can go into settings and adjust display options.
I’m loving Jeroba, I would just like options to sort the comments.
I’ve read this is coming in next release I think
It’s alright but one big issue I’ve been having with it is the app not keeping my place when going back from viewing a post. Like I’ll be viewing some community by top of all time and when I’m 15 posts deep I’ll click one, go back and it resets me to the top of the list. Becomes very tedious scrolling all the way back down after every single post
Agreed, Jerboa is working just fine for me.
A robed man stands in the desert on a planet. The text below him says Lemmy API. Several AT-AT like robots are shown with red lasers firing at the robed man. Each robot has the text of an In development Lemmy app below it
Jerboa is pretty good imo
Ive ran the unreleased version there are a ton of improvements coming to it
Hope rif for reddit devs jump ship and do a rif for lemmy. Im using jerboa but it still lacking some useful features like blocking keywords.
Hmm, I only know about Jerboa.
There is close to 10 Android apps currently in development you can see them at https://lemmy.ml/post/1162300
I have already tried thunder BTW. Nice interface, glitchy though and what stops me from using it over jerboa is not being able to sort by top day. TBF they have made remarkable progress in a short amount of time.
I’ve been sorting by top>day in Jerboa? Unless it’s broken and I haven’t noticed.
I think you misunderstood. I’m saying thunder doesn’t let you sort by top day and I’m still using jerboa because jerboa does let you.
I did indeed misunderstand. Thank you for the clarification.

Sync for Lemmy, Artemis
I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I’m back to kbin because kbin’s /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy’s, while improving, is more like /all/rising.
Should try some of them 3rd party lemmy apps
I use jerboa. Especially like that it uses material you
Even though I am an android user, I guess it would be nice for iOS user to also have some development going.
There are at least 5 apps for iOS in development, Mlem, Memmy, Limbo, Beyond and Thunder
Memmy App for iOS works quite well. Multiple updates per day over testflight.
Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out
Been playing around with Limbo as well. Limbo is a bit ahead of Memmy in terms of allowing management of multiple accounts, but Memmy seems more lightweight on my iOS device.
You can use the web app In chrome there is an option to add it to the home screen and it will behave like a normal app. Same thing is possible in IOS.
iOS’ support for PWAs is a lot worse than Android (for example, iOS didn’t allow push notifications for sites), but I’ve heard they’re getting better.
