Which apps do currently work with Beehaw? And where do i get them? I tried Jerboa from F-Droid and Google Play. It says 17.4 is to old. Lemmur from F-Droid didn’t find Beehaw at all. Couldn’t find other apps at both places. I’m using a Fairphone 4 with Android 12.

BTW: i’m rather unexperienced with smartphones, hadn’t bought a new one since 2012. (no mouse, no keyboard, no decent screen, not even bash; finicky things!)

Thanks!

Edit: Connect works so far. Thanks everybody!

Try Thunder from F-Droid or Connect, Liftoff, or Summit from the Play Store. Connect and Liftoff are the 2 best IMO.

Thank you! Answering with Connect right now. Works fine so far.

It’s strange that none of them turned up when i searched for “Lemmy Apps”.

The Lemmy app space is super new and search indexing algorithms take a while to catch up to what’s new

Well, i just assumed something like the play store has an index about all the stuff they host. I used Debian for most of the last decade, so i might be a bit spoiled.

WefWef.app in your browser will allow you to install a PWA (Progressive Web App) that will act like an app. Log in with Beehaw and enjoy.

Don’t even need to install that. Use your standard web browser on the phone, go to https://beehaw.org, and then use the menu options to ‘Add to home’ or ‘Install’.

yeh, but the standard lemmy pwa (like beehaw’s) isn’t close to being as nice as WefWef

Me same from Google play. The one downside is that it may not be FOSS. I may go back to Jerboa when it works again for that reason. Otherwise I like it and it is one of the close popular apps on Play other than Jerboa.

I’m using Jerboa and that message doesn’t stop you from using Beehaw, it will go away once Beehaw updates their client to the new version.

Nevermind I just updated the app and now I can’t use Beehaw…
