Same here--wefwef is amazingly solid for such an early product.
If Sync for Lemmy gets off the ground and is anywhere near as good as the Reddit version, I'll probably switch to that since it was easily my most used Android app before Reddit lost its mind.
Does the PWA shortcut auto-updates or to use a new version I have to delete the shortcut and create it again?
Thereβs a settings tab with a βCheck for updatesβ section that will automatically notify you of new versions, and then you can update without recreating the widget.
Got it. Thanks! :)
Wefwef has been easing my Apollo withdrawals.
Saaaaaame. It feels so familiar
Currently Jerboa, but once Boost for Lemmy launches I'll switch to that
I'm on wefwef.app now. I tried Jerboa first and then Connect for Lemmy. I liked Connect more than Jerboa but wefwef was most like my Infinity setup.
Same for me. Started with Jerboa then went to Connect, then WefWef. I still go back and forth between the last two, but I'm starting to use WefWef more.
Jerboa. I like what it has going on coming from RIF, comment navigation is pretty good, but it's still very buggy (often fails to refresh though that might be related to my instance more than the app, also could do with more graceful error handling) and missing a few key settings I'd like to see implemented - show instance name next to user/community names, disable left swipe to go back to post list (which I trigger on accident all the time). Hopefully the dev continues to work on it and smooth out some rough edges.
Coming from RIF this is my personal ranking:
-
wefweb.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.
-
Connect/Lift (tied). Both are solid, I prefer connect sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Lift. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.
-
Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.
This would be my ranking and assessment as well. The only thing hampering Wefwef, for me right now at least, is that all saving/bookmarking is broken at the moment. I'm sure it'll get fixed, but that's kinda a big deal. Other than that, it's great!
I use connect for lemmy currently but i got jeobra downloaded as well , depending on how performance/feature goes in the next months i will decide what i like more
Coming from Apollo, I have personally been enjoying wefwef.
Same. The transition has been seamless with the UI. Very familiar. Although I find myself swapped to Lemmy to check it out. They have been Lightning fast with the updates
I tried mlem, memmy, and wefwef.
Mlem is missing quite some features at this point. Wefwef is browser only.
So I've been using memmy for the most part. It's good.
I trade off between memmy and wefwef
Connect for Lemmy on Android. Reminds me pretty much of RIF.
I'm using connect. Only gripe so far is there's no apparent "hide post" button
Also I'm not sure if "block user" is the same as Sync's "filter user" or something else
Jerboa
Started with wefwef, but it often lags when I try to type a comment or navigate back, so I installed multiple apps for Lemmy until I settled in with Connect, since it felt neat and optimised.
Liftoff on Android. Web browser on iOS.
Liftoff let's you search for keywords by Community, Comments, or Posts. That feature alone is golden and no other app does this.
The Wefwef app on Android has all these options in it's search feature: by Post, comment, community, or user.
I read somewhere that wefwef was web only. Trying it out now.
Its a PWA. Works brilliantly
Memmy has search filters as well
I had issues logging into wefwef so can't speak to that but Memmy works amazing and has a really clean UI
I suggest giving Memmy and Thunder a try, they both have great potential.
Is there anything that gets you multiple columns on tablets?
