iOS → Mlem app (currently in open beta on TestFlight) very good so far

I’m currently switching between thunder and jerboa. Both are very good but thunder lacks features and jerboa crashes with instances not running lemmy 0.18.

Mlem or just browser (Safari, on laptop an phone)

Here is a post that has all of the apps that are currently available: https://lemmy.world/post/465785

I’ve mostly been connecting via the browser, but tried Jerboa a few weeks ago and it seems decent.

There’s a breaking API change on Lemmy 18.0 though, so Jerboa cannot work with instances <18.0. And since the Captcha feature won’t be added before 18.1, it seems that a couple instances will wait for that release in order to upgrade, so unless this takes too long I’ll just keep using the web version.

I like that there’s several alternatives though, and hope it stays that way - it might be healthier for Lemmy development to focus on a good API rather than interoperability with the one app that the majority uses.

I installed jerboa and thunder to test out. Jerboa is promising and very active. However for now I stick to the site of my instance installed as progressive web app, I think it’s the most useable (the only drawback is the lack of infinity scrolling).

I’m using Memmy. The developer is going really fast. It has the Apollo feel but it ofcourse lacks some features.

I’ve only checked out Jerboa for now (first trying to learn to find my way around Lemmy itself), but a cursory search shows me there’s quite a few apps that are being developed! I wonder which one will become the standards.

Currently using Jerboa.
