So far Jerboa seems like the move, Thunder looks nicer, but it doesn’t seem to play nice with this instance so that’s kind of dead in the water, at least for now.
Jerboa is getting there, but for now I’d recommend using the progressive web app
What is the benefit of the web app? A genuine question
From what I’ve seen, you can search for individual comments/posts related to a topic (advanced search), send private messages, you can see what’s trending and there are more options for moderators to manage and create communities.
But Jerboa is already good and I prefer the interface over the web app, especially on mobile. The only issue bothering me is table format is broken.
I just tried Jerboa and it looks pretty good: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa/
browser. install the website to the desktop. and done
Browser version works surprisingly well on mobile, at least better than Reddit’s browser version which is either completely broken or constantly asking me to install the official reddit app.
I figure at this point, forget about apps and stick to the website. Good Android apps will come in time.
Jerboa is better than the official web UI at the moment.
Just signed up from Kbin to give it ago. Jerboa working nicely.
Kbin hasn’t got an app which really sucks.
Also want an app for kbin, but for the moment it is possible to “install” the web page via the mobile browser.
It will get a separate icon that way and you can put it on your home screen or in a folder. Not perfect, but at least something!
Open kbin in the browser and search your browser menu for the install option. For example, in Firefox it is hidden in the three dot menu.Nevertheless, I also hope for an app soon.
Jerboa is working great for me so far 👍
Use the web app. It works very well.
It keeps loading random posts to the top of the page while I’m scrolling. I know this is a known bug… But the website is basically unusable.
Jerboa is the only actively developed option on Android right now.
That being said, a web wrapper like hermit is nice enough as an interim pick, if jerboa isn’t doing it for you.
I like how thunder looks, but not how I can’t blur nsfw posts. If I’m searching by active in public, I’d better not be seeing straight up lesbian sex on the front page of my feed, unblurred.
I think it’s just Jerboa right now. You could set them up as progressive web apps I think, but I haven’t really looked into it.
Jerboa is actually really fucking good though
Performance and stability can be ironed out. But the UI itself is already really solid. I love the animated comment collapse. This app is gonna be great a few months from now.
Trying Jerboa right now, don’t like it.
All text fields show as password fields, no dictionary, submitting a comment is slow af.
Android 14 beta 3
Maybe beta is your issue I have none of your issues
I put jerboa in the place where I used to have the Sync Pro app mostly just to start coming here out of habit. But a lot of times I end up browsing through chrome because I get a lot of random JSON parse errors in Jerboa. There’s a paid app called Fedilab I’m curious about but it doesn’t seem to work with Lemmy instances yet, I think it’s mostly for Mastodon.
I have Fedilab, it does not work with lemmy.
Jerboa. It’s pretty bad though, I wouldn’t even really call it “usable” since it crashes so much, had to just browse on Firefox on my phone.
In my experience, Jerboa is like 85% there. It is buggy sometimes, but it’s much easier for me to use. It also has a true dark mode which looks fantastic on an OLED.
It just started, though. I’m sure once they get over the hiccough of the influx of new users, itll run smoother.
I haven’t had any issues with crashing (so far).
I usually spell it “hiccup”. Huh.
Its an older spelling, sir, but it checks out.
And to be fair, I’ve definitely hic-coughed before too
You know, in Jerboa, I can’t even access half the settings. Just doesn’t let me scroll. Don’t know if it’s just me.
I don’t think I’ve had a single crash apart from when clicking on a lemmy link
You call it a crash, I call it a quick exit button /s
What device / os are you using it on? I have it on a Pixel 4a and it works with no issues that I’ve noticed, been smooth sailing. Coming from RIF it also feels fairly familiar.
