I agree. There's definitely work to be done but considering the massive influx I think it's doing pretty decently okay
For those uninformed:
Reddit Sync's dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin looks like a spiritual successor to Apollo; will even be on both ios and android
@git Jerboa isn't terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn't good.
I'm hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit
+1 for Infinity for Lemmy.
Infinity and Boost are my favorite Reddit apps.
Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it'll get forked by someone (it's open source) and it will work with Lemmy.
I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I've currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.
memmy is going to be ported to android as well
Shout out to jerboa. Very smooth transition from Sync. Suspect with the recent rexodus it'll only get better.
Yea i can ses the similarities, but i keep trying to swipe on things and it doesnt do anything
Sync for lemmy is coming and ill probably jump back to that, especially if its open source. Else i hope the jerboa folks take some more design cues from the other apps to make the whole ux feel a bjt quicker/easier
Wait sync for lemmy is coming? That's awesome.
Ha, I come from Infinity and I also keep trying to swipe on stuff out of force of habit. Would love some more options regarding or else other apps to get a hit more variety in the future, but I get this is all still in its infancy.
Am I stupid or am I missing a way to permanently set the "source" to subscribed instead of local? But apart from that it is quite good already.

A robed man stands in the desert on a planet. The text below him says Lemmy API. Several AT-AT like robots are shown with red lasers firing at the robed man. Each robot has the text of an In development Lemmy app below it
Jerboa is pretty damn good on Android. No complaints here, coming from relay and RIF
I'm loving Jeroba, I would just like options to sort the comments.
I've read this is coming in next release I think
I got it looking like BaconReader! You can go into settings and adjust display options.
It's alright but one big issue I've been having with it is the app not keeping my place when going back from viewing a post. Like I'll be viewing some community by top of all time and when I'm 15 posts deep I'll click one, go back and it resets me to the top of the list. Becomes very tedious scrolling all the way back down after every single post

Jerboa is pretty good imo
Ive ran the unreleased version there are a ton of improvements coming to it
I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I'm back to kbin because kbin's /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy's, while improving, is more like /all/rising.
Hope rif for reddit devs jump ship and do a rif for lemmy. Im using jerboa but it still lacking some useful features like blocking keywords.
Should try some of them 3rd party lemmy apps
Memmy App for iOS works quite well. Multiple updates per day over testflight.
Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out

Hmm, I only know about Jerboa.
There is close to 10 Android apps currently in development you can see them at https://lemmy.ml/post/1162300
I have already tried thunder BTW. Nice interface, glitchy though and what stops me from using it over jerboa is not being able to sort by top day. TBF they have made remarkable progress in a short amount of time.

Whys everyone obsessed with apps? Mobile browser works.
mobile browser works but is never as smooth and seamless as a native app.

Even though I am an android user, I guess it would be nice for iOS user to also have some development going.
There are at least 5 apps for iOS in development, Mlem, Memmy, Limbo, Beyond and Thunder
I use jerboa. Especially like that it uses material you
Thunder client is very nice and they also released new version which support make comments.
Reading this on Melm on iOS.
You can use the web app In chrome there is an option to add it to the home screen and it will behave like a normal app. Same thing is possible in IOS.
iOS' support for PWAs is a lot worse than Android (for example, iOS didn't allow push notifications for sites), but I've heard they're getting better.
Pixelfed dev also announced he wil be building Kbin mobile app. Not sure if that's for Android or iOS.
