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?
This big “+” in the middle at the bottom of the app is a bit annoying, is there a way to make it smaller and move it down like the rest of the buttons are?
Liftoff seems to be open source. Pretty sure you can ask the dev about this feature.
I didn’t find a way to customize that part so far.
Second this, liftoff is pretty amazing and they look to be integrating kbin the future as well.
Definitely recommend Connect for Lemmy. Gives me RIF vibes and has worked really well for me.
I like connect, though it’s not without its own issues - the comment box is clunky, and poorly designed and if the parent post/comment is too long or you type a long comment the keyboard can cover the area youre typing in, making it impossible to tell if you are making mistakes without closing the keyboard.
Mainly reminds me of Sync haha. Sync for Lemmy is in the works, hope it works out!
Wait for this app, if you are on android. It once was among the best Android apps in general and a very popular Reddit client. It’s going to be great!
I used sync for almost a decade and I can confirm it was the optimal reddit experience. When the developer comes out with sync for lemmy I am immediately using it.
I’m currently waiting but in the meantime I’m using https://wefwef.app
Wefwef.app install as a PWA it’s amazing
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.
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.
It’s on their roadmap to make an android interface. 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.
Yeah I understand. the good news is that it’s on their roadmap to make an android UI/UX. https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef
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
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
@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.
Liftoff has been great for me.
