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.
I tried Voyager and Interstellar but Blorp for whatever reason was the only one with a UI that felt right to me.
Boost and Connect are my favorites for Lemmy.
After using thunder I haven’t felt the need to try anything else since.
Too many options so I just use the browser and it works perfectly fine
Firefox on mobile. I make the website an app. It works.
Voyager.
Blorp for me
Blorp dev here. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make the app better for you!
Irreally really like you Voyager. It’s inspired by Reddit Sync, the GOAT
I’m still using Sync (for Lemmy) but I’ll need to check Voyager out, since it seems Sync is now abandoned.
I use browser, never really had a reason to switch
I’m using Voyager because Star Trek.
Works very well except for one problem, it doesn’t remember the last thread or community I was on I switch apps and android kills in background.
It’s particularly annoying when I follow a link and when I come back to comment on it Voyager is back on Home and the thread lost forever.
Or when I’m in the middle to writing a comment but want to quickly fact check something but when I come back I get a message saying that my comment was saved, nice. But still can’t go back to the thread I was to finish it.
Apart from that I’m satisfied with it.
I used to use Boost for Reddit back then and switched over to Boost for Lemmy initially. Nowadays I use Voyager as the UI is better IMO.
Does voyager actually support saved comments? Boost still only shows saved posts despite letting you save comments.
I’ve been using Boost simply because it’s what I used to use for reddit and it does what I want
Jerboa
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.
Voyager, only because I’m used to it and cbf swapping.
If RiF was made for Lemmy, I’d be using that.
