What do you think?
needs text; too oblivious to know minor differences in mouse shapes
I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.
Jerboa is not at B, it barely works
Works fine for me – posted from Jerboa
How is this being downvoted? Upvoted via Jerboa
Posted and upvoted from Jerboa. Working fine and looks good. And is on FDroid so bonus.
Can’t take your app being criticized for crashing so much that it’s useless on my OnePlus 6t? The app literally wouldn’t stay open long enough for me to give it any real judgement. That’s my experience
Things have been updated since and it seems to finally work again for those of us it was broken for. Give it a shot! Or don’t because for me scrolling is still laggy as hell lol.

Im waiting for it.
This is the first that I heard of it
But me too
Anyone who hasn’t already pre registred can do it here
I think Jerboa goes in the A tier. Liftoff would be easy S tier if only it had an easier way to view comment context (like Jerboa).
As a jerboa user myself, I’m pretty confident Jerboa is C or D tier at best. It has a very buggy UI, crashes very frequently and is a nightmare to post comments. I’ll hold my beliefs until the devs fix those issues
Too bad too, because I would agree if Jerboa didn’t have so many bugs.
The latest version (0.0.38) fixed the bugs for me. The previous one (0.0.37) was nearly unusable.
F-droid still shows 37. Where did you get 38?
I just grabbed it from their GitHub.
GitHub + obtabium for automatic updates
I only tried the two inside fdroid, jerboa and that other one. On now and it seems fine but i don’t have much to compare it to. Seeing as how this lemmy stuff is new to me and i only tried the two.
Edit: ACd Hernia, changed back to jerboa. Lol hernia
What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it’s an older version issue for you
Ah yeah I see what you mean, I can usually guess what someone’s replying to since I don’t post a huge amount but now that you mention it it really should it directly in the inbox
Liftoff added that, although the UI is a bit clunky
Liftoff! is super snappy, but I can’t get used to the UI, to me it seems like it lacks attention to detail on the visuals part of the app.
Edit: I just figured out why it looks so strange to me: the app is very Material Design-y, so it feels outta place on iOS.
The other big issue with Liftoff is that you can’t search for communities outside of your own instance without first adding the instance said community is hosted on. Unless someone can correct me on that.
You should write a big “MY” at the beginning of the title.
You missed Thunder
It’s weird that Thunder, most polished Lemmy app, is not even on the list
I agree. Since joining the beta, I’ve exclusively used Thunder. I never encounter errors or load issues and comments are posted without issues.
Every other app seems to have problems. Started with Memmy and wefwef but I couldn’t handle all the loading errors.
Memmy has been improving very quickly.
I forgot about it
It has some niceities missing like how many unreas replies you have. But it’s much better UI wise than Jerboa and actually marks posts as read unlike Liftoff. (Will make an issue when I get around to it)
Which app do you use to mark post as read automatically?
Thunder and Jerboa both mark posts as read after you click on them. Same goes for the webinterface. You have to enter the post, opening the preview image doesn’t count.
Ha ok, what I want is to mark post as read once I scrolled them (even with opening them). AFAIK, there is no any client which do this
Why does Thunder, the most polished app, not simply eat the other five?
Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:
-
S tier
- Wefwef
- Lemmy (not an app, just use Lemmy on your mobile’s web browser)
-
A tier
- Connect for Lemmy (Android only)
- Liftoff (Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS, and iOS (TestFlight))
-
B tier
- Jerboa (Android only)
-
C tier
- Summit (Android only)
(I don’t know the second C-tier app)Lemmynade (this is the old name for Liftoff (thanks aDogCalledSport@lemmy.zip))
-
D tier
- Lemmotif (Android | iOS (Testflight))
The second C tier is Lemmynade but thats just the old name for Liftoff so Im not sure why its its own thing here
Thanks! I’ve made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.
The other one in C tier is lemmur. Discontinued.

I would put Jerboa above LiftOff and Connect, because I like the UI more
Agreed, feels better executed to me personally
Now I need the names for the S tiers
Wefwef and simply Lemmy but as a webapp
Wefwef would be s for me as well but toasts block the bottom part of the screen and can’t be dismissed. Trying to read comment replies and getting blocked by a message that tells me I’m looking at comment replies…
My dumbass just searched for “simply lemmy” thinking that is the name of a 3rd party web app.
Yeah, gotta search for the full “simply Lemmy but as a webapp” in order to actually find the right thing
I’m using Jerboa and eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. Haven’t had the motivation to try anything else yet.
Jerboa is A or S tier for me. Sure it used to crash alot, but now it’s silky smooth, doesn’t crash anymore and everything just works.
Where is Memmy? I’d put that A tier probably. Good but not as good as wefwef.
I dont use IOS so I cant speak for IOS apps
Then maybe don’t make such a list. lol.
For me Jerboa is S tier just because os available on the F-Droid store (and its works)
Missed Thunder, Jerboa deserves better.
I have tried many of them in the last 2 weeks: thunder, jerboa, connect, liftoff but now I’m loving wefwef. Still waiting for sync, tho.
I will jump ship from Liftoff the second Sync is back
