Don’t know what app I like yet.
wefwef I like the search and exploration, but the text editing is the worse…

Just use liftoff. After all i’ve tried is the best.
When did you last use Connect? All of these apps are improving fast. Right now, I prefer Connect.
Agreed. I’ve been trying to rotate between Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect and I just keep floating back to Liftoff for now. Finding I like the UI the best at this point and I’ve also been experiencing less issues with it as well.
But excited to see how they all continue to develop!
Liftoff feels so smooth, looks great, runs well, and is so intuitive. It’s easily my favorite Lemmy browser.
I have lots like OP’s pic, but keep clicking Liftoff. Well, after I’ve clicked Sync and closed it :(
Same. Now my only used app. Similar ish to infinity which I used before.
Just installed, I’m replying from it. Let’s see if we match 😁
I’ve had almost zero issues with Liftoff other than switching the global sorting in the general settings causing duplicate posts from communities in the current instance I was in, but other than that it is fast, not bad looking and straightforward.
I’ll have to wait for kbin support to try that one it seems. Looks decent though
I’ve been trying it, and I can’t find a way to visit an individual community from my list of subscriptions.
Turns out it’s this button:
Also waiting for Sync :(
Wefwef is kinda nice, but it’s so iOS-y
I like it overall, but it’s so unintuitive to me. Not a huge fan of the slide functionality, especially the dual action sliding. It probably gets easier once you get used to it though.
It definitely gets easier as you use it. Now the slides in connect irritate me, because if I overshoot and reach the save one, it saves even if I don’t actually remove my finger and that’s annoying because I have to unsave again.
I really didn’t like the UI. Very intuitive for being on Sync for years. I’m on Jerboa while waiting for Sync to be ready.
Connect shares a lot with sync. I will use it until sync comes out
Try liftoff
Well, I guess you already did.
Connect has blocking communities and hiding threads which is fantastic. I’m waiting for something better, but I need to be able to block the massive amount of futa/hentai/ai porn communities on here.
Seriously, I feel like I block 3 to 5 new porn communities per day. There’s some weird shit on here. Can’t wait to til we can block whole instances. I would like to be able to browse All without seeing lemmynsfw
That’s like my list. Keep the real porn
Wasn’t aware of Connect, that might actually be the one to hold me until Sync comes out. I was jumping between jerboa (for the swipe actions) and thunder (for the UI similar to sync), but connect seems to have both and a few other things that remind me of Sync (cards for posts, hold to collapse comment thread, swipe actions for post).
I know you posted out of frustration but thanks for the suggestion!
I get frustrated with the way connect does hold to collapse, because it means that I can’t copy text to cite in comment replies.
You can tap the comment, go on the three dots and it will give you the option to copy text. Haven’t really tried but I assume it would copy the entire comment so it would probably need some editing in case you just want to cite part of it.
Yeah, I can understand that, in sync you can at least copy while you are replying, connect still does the collapse on the reply page with the single comment you’re replying to
it means that I can’t copy text to cite in comment replies.
Luke /u/Danilo said; you need to tap the comment, copy text and then insert as a quote. It’s not exactly intuitive, but it seems to be the way to do it. I hope it gets fixed.
Also can’t delete comment from profile, have to go to post and navigate to find my comment to delete it
On liftoff there’s an option in the three dots button to make text selectable.
Liftoff?
Liftoff is awesome!
I’m trying it right now, it’s fairly good

I was just looking at lift off.
I was trying to look at other 3rd party apps just to see which I liked while I waited on Sync.
One thing that puts me off Liftoff is the dark theme isn’t dark enough for me but I find the Amoled mode too dark.
Yeah I agree completly. That puts me off too. Im using wefwef.app atm. Looks good, but too much ios like for my tastes. Also Liftoff now is crashing all the time.
I am using Liftoff right now, but certainly will give Sync a try once it is ready
I’m trying out Liftoff right now, and so far I think it’s given me the best overall experience. I think I’ll wait until the rest of the Lemmy apps stabilize before thinking about trying other apps again.
I think the most recent Connect updates makes it much better. I’ve been using it more than Liftoff the last couple of days. Is Thunder not on the Google Play store? I couldn’t find it.
No, it is on GitHub and IzzyOnDroid.
I switched from Jerboa to Connect, and then stayed with Connect.
Seems like liftoff offers uploading images into comments :)
I’m holding out hope for boost lemmy. Used boost exclusively for Reddit for the longest time. Jebora seems to work best for me but Ive had both Jeb and connect for a while.
I’m on Connect right now. I quite like it, especially how fast it is (or maybe that’s a consequence of Lemmy being fast in general). UI seems clean enough. But I really really miss the content filtering that Sync provided.
I was really positively surprised to hear Sync is being developed for Lemmy. Hoping it releases soon!
Lichess? :D
Yes! Wanna play? I have the same username there (razieltakato), 999 ELO o Rapid
Sure! I’m usually a correspondence player, still learning a lot.
I was too. I really improved when I stopped correspondence and started rapid.
I’ll give rapid a shot, my username is the same on lichess as well if you want to start a game
I’m mostly on mobile for vacation reasons, so I’m chilling on wefwef, but if they don’t add blocking soon I’ll move on. Can’t handle the “blahaj”.
I’m most excited to try Liftoff because it looks like the most x-platform compatibility? I think I saw windows/macOS/iOS/android, and I use all 4. I prefer apps to website browsing for this sort of thing on desktop, so that’s attractive.
Liftoff feels nice, I just hope it had more theming options. Wefwef is nice but as a webapp it still feels a bit clunky.
