Which apps do currently work with Beehaw? And where do i get them? I tried Jerboa from F-Droid and Google Play. It says 17.4 is to old. Lemmur from F-Droid didn't find Beehaw at all. Couldn't find other apps at both places. I'm using a Fairphone 4 with Android 12.

BTW: i'm rather unexperienced with smartphones, hadn't bought a new one since 2012. (no mouse, no keyboard, no decent screen, not even bash; finicky things!)

Thanks!

Edit: Connect works so far. Thanks everybody!

Try Thunder from F-Droid or Connect, Liftoff, or Summit from the Play Store. Connect and Liftoff are the 2 best IMO.

Thank you! Answering with Connect right now. Works fine so far.

It's strange that none of them turned up when i searched for "Lemmy Apps".

The Lemmy app space is super new and search indexing algorithms take a while to catch up to what's new

Well, i just assumed something like the play store has an index about all the stuff they host. I used Debian for most of the last decade, so i might be a bit spoiled.

Play store your only chance is to search "lemmy" and hope you can find what you're looking for intermingled in all the Motorhead shit they want to sell you

Right here, those are the answers☝️

WefWef.app in your browser will allow you to install a PWA (Progressive Web App) that will act like an app. Log in with Beehaw and enjoy.

I'm using Jerboa and that message doesn't stop you from using Beehaw, it will go away once Beehaw updates their client to the new version.

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using connect

[–] zenci@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am currently trying out Connect for lemmy

Me same from Google play. The one downside is that it may not be FOSS. I may go back to Jerboa when it works again for that reason. Otherwise I like it and it is one of the close popular apps on Play other than Jerboa.
