What do you think?
needs text; too oblivious to know minor differences in mouse shapes
I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.
I think Jerboa goes in the A tier. Liftoff would be easy S tier if only it had an easier way to view comment context (like Jerboa).
As a jerboa user myself, I’m pretty confident Jerboa is C or D tier at best. It has a very buggy UI, crashes very frequently and is a nightmare to post comments. I’ll hold my beliefs until the devs fix those issues
Too bad too, because I would agree if Jerboa didn’t have so many bugs.
I only tried the two inside fdroid, jerboa and that other one. On now and it seems fine but i don’t have much to compare it to. Seeing as how this lemmy stuff is new to me and i only tried the two.
Edit: ACd Hernia, changed back to jerboa. Lol hernia
The other big issue with Liftoff is that you can’t search for communities outside of your own instance without first adding the instance said community is hosted on. Unless someone can correct me on that.
Liftoff! is super snappy, but I can’t get used to the UI, to me it seems like it lacks attention to detail on the visuals part of the app.
Edit: I just figured out why it looks so strange to me: the app is very Material Design-y, so it feels outta place on iOS.
It’s weird that Thunder, most polished Lemmy app, is not even on the list
I agree. Since joining the beta, I’ve exclusively used Thunder. I never encounter errors or load issues and comments are posted without issues.
Every other app seems to have problems. Started with Memmy and wefwef but I couldn’t handle all the loading errors.
Memmy has been improving very quickly.
I forgot about it
Why does Thunder, the most polished app, not simply eat the other five?
Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:
-
S tier
- Wefwef
- Lemmy (not an app, just use Lemmy on your mobile’s web browser)
-
A tier
- Connect for Lemmy (Android only)
- Liftoff (Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS, and iOS (TestFlight))
-
B tier
- Jerboa (Android only)
-
C tier
- Summit (Android only)
(I don’t know the second C-tier app)Lemmynade (this is the old name for Liftoff (thanks aDogCalledSport@lemmy.zip))
-
D tier
- Lemmotif (Android | iOS (Testflight))
The second C tier is Lemmynade but thats just the old name for Liftoff so Im not sure why its its own thing here
Thanks! I’ve made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.
The other one in C tier is lemmur. Discontinued.

I would put Jerboa above LiftOff and Connect, because I like the UI more
Agreed, feels better executed to me personally
I’m using Jerboa and eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy. Haven’t had the motivation to try anything else yet.
Jerboa is A or S tier for me. Sure it used to crash alot, but now it’s silky smooth, doesn’t crash anymore and everything just works.
Where is Memmy? I’d put that A tier probably. Good but not as good as wefwef.
I dont use IOS so I cant speak for IOS apps
Then maybe don’t make such a list. lol.
Try Jerboa again if you had trouble. The last couple updates were huge leaps forward
Missed Thunder, Jerboa deserves better.
I have tried many of them in the last 2 weeks: thunder, jerboa, connect, liftoff but now I’m loving wefwef. Still waiting for sync, tho.
I’m loving wefwef but have two gripes
- It seems to get laggy with prolonged use (Firefox on android)
- The way pressing Posts/Inbox/Account/Search operate like tabs where you have to back back back to the main screen
Hard agree. This is what I concluded from my research also.
Not sure what those apps are. S Tier both kinda look like Memmy? (It’s the only one I know).
mlmym.org S tier
