I’m trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.
I know there’s a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I’m not sure about their names and the different features they offer.
These are the apps I’m using rn. So far i like thunder, connect and liftoff.
Thunder has a really weird swipe mechanic to voting that doesn’t seem to work very reliability for me unfortunately currently.
What do you mean?
You swipe the comment to the right and a thing pops up. It’s unclear when it is downvoting or upvoting because what it then does doesn’t seem to match the one you selected.
Jerboa - a bit buggy still, and sometimes posts take a while to load, but its features are fantastic.
Connect - I love this app, and I tried to switch to it, but being unable to disable “swipe to upvote” is a dealbreaker for me.
Liftoff - I just switched to this. It’s very polished and responsive, and accomodates my preferred way of scrolling and interacting with communities.
Lemmotif - pure minimalist doomscrolling. It doesn’t even let you log in to vote, comment, or post. Blazingly fast, and I love it. Uninstalled.
If you are a fellow reddit refugee, the Sync for Lemmy is coming soon.
Jerboa. Haven’t had any issuesEdit for more info: I’m running Jerboa on my Samsung 21+; created account in browser, then added account in Jerboa app.Edit2: Switched to just using Lemmy.world through browser on phone. Jerboa had too many issues when they added 2FA
The developer of Sync for reddit is creating a lemmy app. Can’t wait to try it, as Sync was my favorite reddit app.
Chrome for me
I’m new but Jerboa works like a charm on my Samsung, very fast and responsive.

I’m currently using Liftoff since lemmy.world isnt on 0.18 yet and therefore doesn’t work with Jerboa.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming Sync for Lemmy, the dev from Sync for Reddit has agreed to make it and it’ll definitely be a winner.
I am using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Looks pretty good to me, it can make text larger so yeah. Like 10 minutes in rn though lol
Huge fan of Thunder - it’s still in alpha so it’s missing features, but it’s slick as heck and the developer is crunching out great updates already based on feedback on the GitHub page/their community page! Using Jerboa mostly for now, but likely will be using Thunder as my main in a few weeks :)
I’m using Jerboa, Connect and Summit. I really like Jerboa, but rn is buggy as lemmy.world is still at 0.17.4 while Jerboa only support 0.18. I’m still trying out Summit and Connect, only time will say!
Currently using Jerboa. I want simplicity and no clutter. It would be nice if there was a “collapse all” for comments. And would like to be able to double-click an image and have it zoom in.
Mostly just he collapse function for comments. It’s really necessary.
Just click on the text of the comment and it will collapse!
OMG I’m stupid af
Nah, it’s just muscle memory. I only discovered it by accident.
I actually just switched from Jerboa to Connect based on this thread, and I’m loving it. Much nicer UI and easier to use. I think I’ll stay with this until Sync is ready!
How do you switched to your subscribed communities in connect? I seem to only be able to switch to ‘all’ or ‘local’.
You’re probably not logged in.
Just realized now that Connect labels subscribed communities as “Frontpage”.
All solved!
