What are the recommended android apps for Lemmy? Jerboa and Lemmur are very crashy for me. Are there any others?

Lemmur’s been abandoned, so as far as I know, Jerboa is the only option on Android right now 😢
Jerboa is ok, but not great. Took me the longest time to figure out how to open links, and when I go back to my feed, I’m often further up in the feed than I’m supposed to be.
i’m using the firefox android app and that’s working for me
Using Jerboa since yesterday (when I migrated), and it’s ok. Not perfect, but it works for now. I’m sure it’ll get better as time goes on.
Jeroba for Lemmy is just ok. It’s not organized like Infinity but also I need some time to adapt to. Last 4 days a forget for Reddit and exploring new Lemmy. It’s fine…
I just joined today. I’m using Jerboa. The only issue I’ve had so far is that I can’t add communities from other instances. From what I understand, you just put the URL of the community into the search bar and it adds it, but that doesn’t work for me. But no other bugs or crashes so far.
I found that as well… for “undiscovered” communities you have to use the web ui and even then it can take 10 seconds for the search to discover it.
Yeah I’ve had to add it from the web UI and restart the app to see them in my subscriptions list. Annoyingly inconvenient
Yeah, I figured that out last night, thankfully.
Just switched to Jerboa since returning (reddit drama). Used lemmur awhile ago but didn’t seem to be working
Lemmur has been archived for a while: https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur reason being lack of interest and political difference.
Dang Jerboa has been quite stable for me, as much as it has other problems, it’s quite unfortunate.
I’m hoping RedReader is updated to support Lemmy in the near future.
RedReader is great. Using Jerp has kinda sucked because of the text input bugs
I’m using jerboa. Works really well for me, bit I want to swap the voting buttons to the right and the links to the left. Also would like more density.
At least on Firefox for Android, there’s a feature that allows you to turn a mobile website into an “app”. It works really well for Beehaw.
I’m using Firefox on Android too. It really helps that the site is actually optimized for mobile compared to reddit.
I use Vivaldi browser on Android and have done the same thing. I appreciate how the website itself works real well. I never understood why so many websites want you to download an app just to have a good experience and I’m glad that the parts of the fediverse I’ve been on work nicely in my browser.
Using Jerboa rn, no crashes or funny things happened so far, only thing is that app feels a bit sluggish when looking through posts.
Really looking for Infinity for reddit dev to support Lemmy in a (really) near future.
I just created a shortcut from safari onto my homescreen. Works really well.
Same here. I would love to check out the app when it releases for iOS though.
It’d be rad if Christian could somehow migrate the Apollo app over. I know absolutely nothing about that kind of thing so, so idk how doable that is.
Would be more of a completely new app rather than a port as you can’t really just switch out a few API calls.
The ironing of losing my mobile app for Reddit is that I’m browsing Lemmy on my phone browser (Brave) and honestly it works well. The design is minimal but that’s what I wanted all along. Density of information and clear buttons.
I just use good ol jerboa. Its been improving quickly since the initial reddit migration last week.
I’ve been using Mlem on iOS. Haven’t found any other clients, and this one is very much in beta, but seems to work well so far.
So I downloaded this but haven’t been able to add my account. Can I use my beehaw.org account or will I need to make a Lemmy.ml account?
I’m using my Beehaw account, but there are bugs affecting Beehaw users with particularly long passwords, according to the bug notes in the latest update, so that could be affecting you. Otherwise mine logged in fine by specifying beehaw.org, my username, and password.
Edit: To be clear, Beehaw accounts with long passwords are currently unable to login.
I did have a longer password 15+ char but finally got it to login.
Also on Jerboa here. Had some strange bug once where the screen would jump around all over the place while scrolling but can’t recreate it now.
I haven’t been able to figure out how to navigate the instance and see what is available.
