I love Mlem and wefwef.app so far. I’ve seen a lot of people mention Memmy but I haven’t really used it yet.

What do you like to use for mobile Lemmy?

    On Android, so don’t have access to some of the popular iOS ones.

    Right now, I’m switching around between web, Jerboa, and Thunder. Liftoff is great as well, but I’m not really vibing with it as much as the others.

    Thunder is sleek, but missing some features that Jerboa and Liftoff have.

    Jerboa currently feels like the one which is most “feature-rich”, but it doesn’t like my keyboard (OpenBoard) for some reason. It’s an open issue on their GitHub, but don’t know if there will be a fix anytime soon.(*)

    To be fair, none really feel like “home” yet. They feel like a stopgap until something that works better for me comes around.

    As much as I don’t like using closed source stuff, considering I’d been using Sync for almost a decade until it shut down, I’ll probably give that a shot regardless, because I fully trust the dev (even if I had minor disagreements with some design choices here and there).

    Hopefully, I’ll find myself feeling more comfortable once that has taken some time to grow.

    Considering I was always on the Sync beta branch, I might as well test it out early if I can.

    (*) I’m actually hoping OpenBoard gets a proper fork soon because its devs have disappeared and it’s got PRs which have been waiting to be merged for ages. Someone threw together a quick fork merging the major PRs a few days ago and I need to test it. Maybe that’ll fix my keyboard issue with Jerboa, I don’t know. Still, the user who forked it has been pretty clear that they’re not sure if they can maintain a separate project longterm, so we’ll have to see if anything happens there.

      Jerboa […] doesn’t like my keyboard (OpenBoard) for some reason.

      Jerboa’s text editing is horribly broken even with the stock LineageOS (Android) keyboard. I don’t know what nonsense it’s doing, but it’s not just you.

        Good to know it’s not just that keyboard. I wonder what the cause is because it seems to work fine with the Samsung keyboard and SwiftKey (I don’t use them, but I needed to test something else out and decided to do the same with Jerboa).

        Some of the markdown editing is still off, but it wasn’t doing the “just delete random words and merge words together when backspacing” thing.

        Maybe it’s something to do with the AOSP keyboard, since both the LineageOS stock one and OpenBoard are based on it (I think).
