I haven’t seen this app suggested, so I’m sharing it in case anyone likes it.
Try Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
You can install and autoupdate using: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
Thunder is OK for now, until Sync comes out
It’s missing features and performance really starts chugging after a few minutes of scrolling, but updates are in the pipeline. Thunder and Wefwef are the best looking apps so far imo
FWIW the pre release build is actually in a pretty good state right now
I haven’t used wefwef yet, but I’m on Liftoff right now it’s pretty good. Mlem and Memmy are okay. So far I haven’t really felt like any of edged ahead.
Like all lemmy apps. Lemmy is relatively new and its apps included.
Thanks for raising awareness. Seeing a lot of liftoff, connect, jerboa and wefwef but not as much thunder. I personally like thunder the best so far of the four.
Also, pro tip, we can all prefer different apps! There is no right or wrong app, there’s just whichever is right for you!
Have tried Thunder, Jerboa, Liftoff. I’m finding the web app wefwef.app better though, since it’s based on Apollo and has a really nice UI/UX.
Love this app at the moment - it will have a fight when SyncForLemmy comes out.
Sync isn’t going to be FOSS, so no, there is no competition, IMO.
I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.
Tried “Memmy” before and right now I like Thunder a bit more. The UI looks cleaner to me, it works well. Good job, I have put it on my phone where I used to have Apollo.
I’m trying it now too, thanks for the comment, but if you’re an ex-Apollo like me, I highly recommend giving a try to Wefwef.app. It’s a web app but you can install it on your screen and looks almost identical to Apollo and feels very much like home. I discovered it today thanks to another comment and I can’t believe this exists.
I have just read about it in a different comment as well, tried it and it does feel a bit like coming home. Thank you for recommending it to me as well, it’s wonderful to see that it gets easier and easier to take part here!
