I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

wefwef and Liftoff until Sync arrives.

I keep switching apps all the time. Right now, I’m trying out Wefwef vs Thunder. They are very similar and I really like both. However, I think I slightly prefer Thunder. It feels a little bit more fluent to me, as it is a native app and it comes with a few more options, like being able to put the thumbnail on the right. I really like that because now I can open pictures without opening the comments. It also does a few things a little bit more sensible in my opinion, esspecially the back button. For instance, in Thunder the back button does what I expect it to do. But in Wefwef It is a bit buggy as it often goes back on the background, without closing a full screen image first. The theming also feels a but more at home on Android, while still being very similar.

Both are great options though and both have it’s pro’s and cons. I’m also trying out Pulse for Squabbles (so not Lemmy), which is also very neat and very similar. Makes the experiences a bit more consistent.

I’m also waiting for both Sync and Boost. I’m really curious in how both of those Ferdiverse versions turn out.

Wefwef right now. I have been pretty pleased with it. Not sure who the the developer it but damn they’ve been rolling out updates daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. I don’t think the person is sleeping at this point.

It’s open source and there’s a ton of open PRs. Lots of people want Apollo back.

Same. I was using liftoff for a bit while they worked out the kinks during the 0.18 upgrade, but its been great, feels really intuitive to me.

Im coming from reddit via RiF, and I feel like Jerboa checks a lot of the same boxes for me.

Yeah Jerboa was rough for a bit there but it’s been working really well for the past few days.

I forgot I installed Jerboa because it didn’t work at first (instances not being up to date gave errors), but this comment made me hop onto that to compare to Liftoff.

I love Jerboa but is there any way to make the images in people’s comments (not original posts) larger?

Me: “I wonder if this Connect could be better than what I’m using”

Also me: Already using Connect

Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I’ve found for Android at the moment, loving it here too

And the dev is rolling out features at a crazy pace. It feels like everytime I open the app it’s gotten significantly better

My only complaint with Connect is that I’m using the dark theme, and so having a big white “refreshed” bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa’s cute spinny wheel better.

But, if that’s my biggest complaint ¯\(ツ)

Using wefwef.app (it’s a web app) and it’s great. Sometimes I need remind myself that I’m not using Apollo.

Not gonna lie, I don’t know what kind of dark magic wefwef pulled through, but it is the first web app I actually find as performant a a native app. It may not be for me (not a big fan of iphone aesthetics), but it is wonderful.

Have to agree with this guy.

I recently swapped from IPhone to Android and thought I’d lost the slickness of Apollo forever.

Then Wefwef came along. It’s nowhere near as smooth as the original Apollo app (at least via Android’s Firefox browser), but it’s got all the same vibes and makes me feel like I’m back in that same experience again.

Not a fan of wefwef personally because it floods my mobile browser history.

Even when it is installed as a separate app?

It shouldn’t if you install it as a separate app.
