I'm currently on Connect for Lemmy and I mostly like it but it's buggy (new app so I'll be forgiving - but once you search for something you can't back out unless you close the app). Summit is fine but there's no way to see your profile and jerboa doesn't seem to have a way to log in.

I know it's early days but are there any other well rounded apps I should try?

Edit: I'm a dummy, in Jerboa there is a down Caret next to "anonymous" at the top on the slide out menu. That's how you log in

Currently using wefwef.app

The UI is clean and beautiful. I've tried other apps but I don't like how most of it looks

[-] MrBobDobalina@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Everyone is loving wefwef.app... For me it's the least smooth in terms of scrolling and navigation. Might be that no one really minds that, or is it just on my phone? I don't have a flagship device but it's not slow either (pixel 6a)

[-] nlm@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I bounce between the web and Jerboa at the moment.

I'm logged in with Jerboa though, what happens when you try?

[-] Idrunkenlysignedup@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

How do you even log in? I haven't found an intuitive way to do that. It's very possible I'm a dummy and missing something that just isn't obvious to me.

[-] Idrunkenlysignedup@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Omg I didn't see that down caret next to the "anonymous" in the slide out menu.

Dummy status: confirmed

[-] nlm@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

Hamburger menu in the top left, then click on whatever it says in the new top left (I'm already logged in so it currently shows my username). I think it says anonymous?

[-] Idrunkenlysignedup@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Edited my post. You know what they say - make something idiot proof, they'll make a better idiot

[-] nlm@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

It's always nice to be good at something! :D

If I'm on my phone I just browse within Firefox. 98% of my browsing is through Firefox on my desktop PC. Both methods are fine and I haven't really ran into issues.

[-] Foidi@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I use Jeroba, as it feel the most polished for me. In other apps I had some errors and really noticable sync problem, as I didnt see my comments and stuff, but they were indeed posted

[-] Foidi@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

But from reading comments Ill try liftoff also and see which one is better for me

[-] ByteSorcerer@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I use Jerboa. It was unstable at first, but it seems to work great since Beehaw got updated to the newer version of Lemmy.

[-] Crankpork@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I’m really liking Memmy on iOS. It just made it out of TestFlight and into the App Store.

[-] YourHeroes4Ghosts@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I've tried Jerboa (which was super crashy on my phone for some reason) and right now I'm using wefwef.app, which is more stable but still isn't quite what I wanted, as a former BaconReader person. For one thing, when I try sorting things in different ways (like by "new" or by "hot") it seems to stick to the exact posts I was just looking at.

I'll be watching this comment thread with interest.

[-] StantonVitales@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa and it works great, according to a lower comment they also used to have issues but don't anymore, maybe give it another shot 👍🙂

[-] Lionir@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I jump between a few at the moment.

I think Thunder could be good but it lacks a bit of the features. Wefwef is more developed and I really like how it feels. Ultimately, I use the Beehaw PWA quite a bit because I need to handle mod reports and applications to Beehaw.

[-] sloonark@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I tried about five different apps and Liftoff seems the best to me.

[-] TheLastOfHisName@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I use Liftoff as well. Works well on my android phone.

[-] gaael@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I alternate between Liftoff and Jerboa, currently liking the Liftoff UX a bit better.

[-] Plume@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

So far... none. I just use Beehaw as a PWA on my phone.

[-] Ooklamok@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Has anyone found an app that "slides" between posts (swipe left and right to goto next/previous post)? Baconit and Slide has this feature and I miss it.

[-] tiago@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Not yet, but it's a feature I really liked to jump into the conversations

[-] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa sucked so now I'm on liftoff and thunder

[-] TimTheEnchanter@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

I’m using Memmy on iOS. It’s a little buggy here and there and there are some features that I would like to see, but I figure most of these apps are still in the early stages and will be developed more.

Anyone have any suggestions for iOS apps that I should try?

[-] ExoMonk@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using Mlem for the last week or so. It might still be in test flight but it’s been pretty good so far.

[-] TimTheEnchanter@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve heard of that one. Looks like the beta is full, but I’ll have to try it out when it releases.

[-] CrispyPeach@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

I'm using wefwef until Sync drops for Lemmy. It's pretty good, especially for a non native app.

[-] Whimseymimple@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

I'm currently preferring either the mobile web or Liftoff. Liftoff has really surprised me with how slick and easy it's been to jump onto. I still have Jerboa on my phone to see how it progresses over time.

[-] TheGiantKorean@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

Connect is still buggy, but it's improved a lot. I can see the developer making frequent updates.

[-] daveyeah@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Have you found a way to load up a specific community without having a post from that community to navigate from? Like, I want to do the Connect version of typing "reddit.com/r/Ooer" in my URL. It's been driving me crazy; I ended up going back to Jerboa because of this one thing.
