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 haven’t found anything better than Jerboa. To me, the only flaw is that it will never, ever support piefed.
It’s the closest to the RIF experience.
My web browser lol
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.
Browser
This! Don’t know why you would need something else.
I like Boost.
Last time I said this, I got shunned for recommending a closed-source app. I generally try to stick to open-source, but Boost has a good UI, works well, and bugs are fixed quickly.
I started using Boost during round 1 of the API debacle when Reddit is Fun got the axe. Boost was still up & going so I used it there for a couple months before it got killed, then came here & kept up with it.
I haven’t had any major issues, just the occasional hiccup like spoiler markup formatting or other weird interactions.
Voyager as PWA through Chrome. Unfortunately. There’s just no other way I’ve found to easily copy anything I see on screen, be it any link or photo, to share it with others. It’s my issue with so many platforms…
This way I can just long press anything and share.
Summit! Being using it since my lemmy day 0
Still using the browser! Works just fine.
Eternity til it dies
boost and voyager
Boost
Isn’t it closed source and serves ads?
Voyager for me.
Thunder is also good.
I’m sad that Voyager is just a webapp and not a native client; but apart from that, I think it’s perfect.
I’m on voyager and it does the job. I miss sync though.
I tried a bunch and settled on Voyager. I also liked Thunder.
Same, I tried them all and Voyager was my favourite
It’s also nice to recommend because it’s on iOS too
I use Firefox and have no idea why you’d need a dedicated app.
who cares why someone might prefer or be interested or i suppose even “need” an app. why you gotta throw shade just bc you prefer a browser?
found the app dev
loll
