Devs themselves said on github that jerboa is more a side project with how focused they are on lemmy itself

It'd be better to just drop it at this point and focus on Lemmy. It's causing people to get fustrated. The other apps are doing a much bettter job now.

Yep, it's going steadily downhill. New bugs introduced, old ones unfixed.

I've moved to Liftoff for now, which is nice. As soon as Sync is available, I'll be there.

After the issues with 0.17 server support last week I've been swapping between Liftoff, Thunder and Connect for Lemmy. But Liftoff is the one I keep coming back too. I've seen people touting wefwef which is a progressive web app, but the fonts are tiny for my old eyes and I can't see anyway to adjust it.

I can recommend, for Android:

Connect

Liftoff

Thunder

I'm using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I'll just stick with one, but it's exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).

I've had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn't recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.

I had to use my email rather than username, though I'm aware not all instances require one.

Jerboa is currenty unusable. Just use something else.

Jerboa works perfectly fine for me and it's probably my favorite out of all the ones I've tried. It's unfortunate you're having issues.

Your instance must be on the latest version. I think it's mainly lemmy.world users having issues atm.

I'm using "thunder" right now. Can recommend

That swipe right to up-/dowvote is super annoying. Should be swipe right for up, swipe left for downvoting.

Didn't check if an issue has been opened, yet. Otherwise looks very promising.

I wish RedReader would exist for lemmy. It's UX has been tuned over the years and is 99.9% perfect.

I like thunder but there are just a few things I dont like about it

RedReader was amazing. They said they'd look into support for lemmy. hopefully they get on it soon.

I moved to liftoff and signed up for the sync newsletter. You can just download the liftoff APK and install without much hassle.

Or use Obtanium to get it!

I'm using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it's working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.

I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv
