Jerboa is the only one I've used and it does the job.
Jerboa for Lemmy. Also pre-registered for Boost for Lemmy and Slide for Lemmy.
Waiting for Sync for Lemmy. Meanwhile is use the Voyager webapp (previously called wefwef)
wefwef.app
Vger.app
I think Connect is the best one out right now. Most features, customization, and polish.
Using Jerboa for now until either Slide for Lemmy or Infinity for Everything are more stable.
are slide and infinity out?
Liftoff for now. It's the least buggy Android client I have come across. I definitely prefer Memmy on iOS though.
Bouncing between connect and jerboa
I've got jerboa, but typically I just use a web browser since the mobile experience is really good for most fediverse platforms, and when they're not it's an opportunity to improve them -- lotide had a terrible experience on mobile until I improved it on my site which then the dev used to create a whole new theme that worked way better on mobile.
I've been bouncing back and forth between Connect and Summit.
Connect has more features though that I want and is currently in my number 1 spot. I tried all the others too so if I had to choose a #3, it would be WefWef/Voyager.
I'm enjoying connect with AMOLED theme and smaller text and images. It's the most RIF feel I could find.
Connect, Jerboa, Voyager and Summit.
My favourite at the moment is Summit. It preloads images so feels snappier, and has a layout option of thumbnails on the right which I prefer.
I'd like to be able to turn off the swipe actions, my thumbs like to drift when I tap so that UX isn't optimal for me.~~ It's also not possible (that I've found) to change sort order.~~
I flick between apps, all the above are rapidly improving!
You can move the thumbnails to the right in Connect too.
Yes, you're right! I should point out that the things I like about Summit are not exclusive to Summit!
I also noticed Connect is showing images faster than it used to.
It's great to have lots of options and compare them side by side. Coming from RIF, it's not hard to get comfortable.
Recent versions of Jerboa are the best I've tried.
I started on Jerboa. The instance I'm on stayed on 17.4, and Jerboa stopped working. Rather than downgrade Jerboa versions, I moved to Liftoff and couldn't be happier.
I tried Liftoff, Connect, and Jerboa, and settled on Jerboa.
Boost was incredible when I was on the previous platform!
I want to try that out. I did use Liftoff, Jerboa and Connect.
May be this will change when Boost comes on the Play Store, but for now, Jerboa has been my go-to.
Jerboa as a placeholder for Boost. In fact launched the rocket a little bit ago in anticipation.
Sadly most client has jitter scrolling except voyager and summit
Using connect at the moment. Tried most of them but connect just reminds me of slide and I am so looking forward to seeing slide here. Life is so much more fun again ;)
using connect for now, ill be switching to boost once its available!
Started with Jerboa, tried a bunch of others, now back to Jerboa.
Any clients with built in video upload support?
Still using the browser, I just like the look and feel of Lemdro.id but it seems to me that this is how most Lemmy instances look in any way I'll eventually switch to an app just not now
I've tried both jerboa and liftoff. I kept having issues in posting and the apps thinking I wasn't signed in. Now uisng voyager and it's finally feeling good to scroll around and not a chore
