What client do Android users use for Lemmy these days? I’ve been using Jerboa from the start but it’s a bit basic and lacks any good search functionality. So I want to try some others. What do other Android users recommend?
Things I like about Jerboa:
- It just works. It’s pretty simple.
- It has actual private browsing in app. You never have to leave the app and it knows how to never save your history.
- It can do the above even when setting your main browser to Firefox (so as blocking works even in open links in app).
Things I don’t like about Jerboa:
- Text entry is oftentimes buggy.
- Lack of any decent search for communities or in threads.
- No draft capability.
Firefox based browser and Jerboa
Voyager
Eternity
Am I the only one using Connect?
Am I out of touch?
No, it’s the lemmings who are wrong.
I’m with you. Connect is great
Reddit is Fun into Connect. Never looked back.
Same
Sync for Lemmy
Firefox
I just use the web UI. It scales really well on mobile.
Sync, until it dies.
Im using my computer
Jerboa was the smallest one I could find on F-Droid. The lack of post search sucksssss but that’s probably a sign that I should get home and onto my computer regardless.
Voyager.
Voyager
I tried a bunch and settled on Voyager. I also liked Thunder.
Same, I tried them all and Voyager was my favourite
It’s also nice to recommend because it’s on iOS too
I tried Voyager and Interstellar but Blorp for whatever reason was the only one with a UI that felt right to me.
Summit wins out
Im on summit now and its ok. I wish sync was still in development.
Also on summit. Not only is it a really nice to use app in general, it also has the best mod tools that I’ve seen in any app so far.
Agreed, I’ve tried all the ones mentioned so far and some others but Summit is the only one that doesn’t have annoyances and drawbacks for what I want.
Like most people, I’ve tried many apps, and chose summit because, in addition to it having everything I’m looking for in an app, it doesn’t eat my battery like the other apps. Thunder was good, but it drained my battery so fast, it was just crazy.
Agreed. I just wish they would get the PieFed post combining happening so we didn’t see the same article posted four times in a row. The PieFed PWA does it right. Might be an API issue though.
Agree on that
Voyager for me. The compact mode is fairly compact, with small enough thumbnails that it can feel text-first. The few others that support piefed have had huge images with no easy way to fix that.
