A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

With all these new options springing up, I'm a little outdated. What's the best app to use right now?

Jerboad has been my go-to. I've tried liftoff, connect, and some of the webapps, But I found that jerboa has worked most reliably for how I use Lemmy.

I was using Jerboa but I've been having problems with it over the last few days and was getting annoyed. I saw this morning that there was another app, Connect for Lemmy. I've deleted Jerboa now because the connect ui is much nicer and hasn't been crashing so far.

Honestly, the web app (and hopefully Sync when it arrives)

[–] Flughoernchen@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Impatiently waiting for Beyond. Until then I've settled for Connect, as it's a pretty active community that shapes the app with it's suggestions and feedback. It's nice to be a part of that.

Jerboa seems to be more than usable for now, UI isn't as pretty as others but it's pretty functional

I've been really happy and surprised at how well https://wefwef.app works. It's a PWA and is slick as snot.

I've been playing around with several apps. I really like Thunder and Liftoff. Currently giving connect a try and liking it as well. Will definitely move to sync when available though as it is my app of choice for reddit.

Any that are optimized for tablets yet?

[–] Irgendwii@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I was using jerboa for the last couple of days but today I tried thunder again after it didn't work last time. I really love it. It comes really close to baconreader, which I have used for the last 11 years. I really love tapping comments to minimize them but still being able to read the parent comment. The only thing I would like is an option to sort comments, but as far as I know, no other app allows to do this

Liftoff, but I can't rate it in the store for some reason

[–] hallettj@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe because it's in early access. You can't search for it either - you have to get to it from the play store link in the project readme
