What lemmy android app do you recommend? I have too many problems with jerboa. My problems with jerboa:

  • When I write a pm to someone it sends that message to myself
  • Language of the interface is Polish (my first language) and I can’t change it to english (at least on the version that I’m on rn)
  • Scrolling is very buggy (it stutters a lot)
  • Often when I want to make a comment it doesn’t send it and I have to go to my pc an rewrite my comment to be able to send it
  • It doesn’t play gifs on the feed by default, I have to open the image to play the gif
  • It doesn’t play gifs in the comments at all and there’s no way for me to play them
  • There are no embeds for videos (not sure if there’s any mobile app that has that)
  • etc.

What I’m looking for:

  • An app with developed UI/UX
  • Obligatory dark mode
  • Something that resolves my problems with jerboa

Any recommendations or apps that I should follow the development of?

Does anyone know why wefwef tells me my credentials are invalid when I try to login to my Lemmy.world account? I’m copy/pasting from a password manager, so I know I’m not typing it wrong.

Case sensitive. I’ve noticed this with some other apps too.

For me to log in I need to put all lower case. Despite my name having two upper case letters

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. It’s not a huge deal as I’m really just waiting for sync for lemmy, but at this point I’m more curious why it isn’t letting me login. Pretty strange.

@FrayDabson

@Martineski boost for wefwef, it’s filling the Apollo-sized hole in my heart. For Kbin, following the work of @dansup with great interest… Pixelfed is such a smooth app, I have tempered expectations but high hopes for his Kbam app.

It’s a turn-off for me that this is made up to look like an iOS app. I’m using an android phone and it’s kind of weird to have the sudden switch between paradigms.

Yeah I understand. the good news is that it’s on their roadmap to make an android UI/UX. https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef

As someone who’s only used android, I cannot see what makes this look like iOS so I’m fairly happy with it.

Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not disliking the project. I just think the design isn’t that great. That’s all. Glad it works well for you.

Wefwef is open source, it would be cool if someone could fork it and make a version that looks more like an Android app experience.

I was searching for an android app but I guess I will give this web client a shot.

Liftoff, Connect, Thunder and wefwef , I think wefwef is having issues right now. still alpha but its really nice. i think devs are trying to stop hitting the api rate limit or something. wefwef is just like apollo but for android and ios

Its surprisingly impressive for a web app, when installed its hardly noticable that its not native.

It does have an app, if you go into settings you can install it from there. I’m using it now and like it
