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

Wefwef. It’s incredibly polished and fast, especially for a webapp. It runs circles around new reddit performance wise, even with the servers being a raspi trampled by a horde of reddit refugees
Thank you for the wefwef recommendation. I’m just now trying it out and it feels very polished.
Connect has been awesome for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
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)/¯
takes notes
Liftoff.

Wefwef but I’ll be using sync once it’s available
Using wefwef.app (it’s a web app) and it’s great. Sometimes I need remind myself that I’m not using Apollo.
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 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.
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.
Wefwef as it it similar to apollo
Jerboa has been wonderful lately.
It could use some UI/UX work though. For example, if I want to go to a comment I replied to from my profile, rif had a handy button to show my comment with context. On Jerboa I need to go to my comment with a couple unintuitive taps, then the context of that comment with another button that doesn’t really feel like it’s in the right place.
I’ll give it time to develop though
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.
This is the way.
https://wefwef.app on iOS.
It’s nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don’t feel like I’m missing a beat. Looking forward to Lemmy and the fediverse continuing to grow!
Placing the Jerboa icon where I used to have the Boost was so nice. I’m still waiting to see when kbin gets an app. The mobile experience is rough.
I see a lot of kbin posts on here. I think I’m good.
Jerboa for now just waiting for boost to release on lemmy and then i will move.
I started with Jerboa but moved to Connect. Not as many issues as far as I can tell from the few days I’ve used both.
Saw your comment and moved from Jerboa to Connect. Loading is so much faster, but I do miss the body text preview square Jerboa has. I can only preview it on Connect using fullwidth I think, which takes up too much real estate per post.
Overall, still a huge improvement.
Same here, I miss Boost very much
Jerboa for me, too. Mostly because it was the first thing that came up on the app store for me, and there isn’t a Lemmy is Fun (…yet?). So I tried Jerboa and it’s perfectly capable.

Just: Firefox.
Trying out Connect after using Liftoff for a while. The experience is well so far!
Same here. Seems to work nicely!
