Any chance for alpha/internal testers like we were on the Sync for Reddit?

Connect for Lemmy.
It's being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It's come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!
Another (mostly) happy Connect user here! It's crazy the blistering pace at which the Dev keeps pumping out updates. I keep alternating between Connect and Thunder. I think Liftoff still needs some UI polish and it doesn't handle jumping to communities in different instances very gracefully.

Connect for Lemmy on Android.
Jerboa had too many breaking bugs for me.

Using Liftoff, it's pretty good!
Yeah just found it today and I quite like it so far. Had been using Jerboa but the after v0.0.37 that was pushed out made it's just crashing on startup since I was logged into lemmy.world. However I would like to see an option to not merge the feeds of all logged in accounts. I prefer a UX to switch what account I'm viewing with and see only the subscriptions of the selected account.

Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.
- Jerboa is the most complete, but it's not very good... It's slow and the UI is very bland.
- Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It's still pretty buggy though.
- Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there's some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.
IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
Liftoff for me. Really happy with it.
So far Liftoff has my vote on Android.
I am unable to find it in the playstore. Could you link to it? There are too many apps called "LiftOff" haha
It even has the poop post on a screenshot there

Honestly, not sure at this point. Jerboa has the fullest features as far as everything goes. Every other app has been missing some key functionally for me to varying degrees. Not to say any of them aren't good, but none have truly, ultimately impressed me yet. Sync was my go-to on Reddit, so I have very high hopes for that launch. If I had to pick one alternative that I could use, but still doesn't quite tic all the boxes, it's Thunder. Especially right now, as Jerboa crashes on launch.
EDIT: Liftoff is where it's at. It has all the features other third-party apps are still missing.
Liftoff seems decent
Liftoff all the way! At the moment is miles away. Hopefully more will step up in near future.
Thunder, until Sync for Lemmy is released
Edit: okay, Liftoff is pretty good
Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
I was using Jerboa but it seems a little unstable, had it crash on me a number of times.
Currently I'm using wefwef as a Chrome app thing.
Wefwef has been great and it's a PWA so no need to download.
i like liftoff it's like Infinity for reddit
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
wefwef.app
Works really smooth.
I use Thunder.
Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
I use Liftoff it's clean app for Lemmy.
I am currently using Jerboa (the UI is not that good) while I wait for sync

wefwef is surprisingly good
I use Liftoff and also test Thunder. Liftoff has a complete search function and Thunder a very pleasant UI.
Jerboa doesn't work with my instance at the moment, as it still runs on version 0.17.4.
Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^
started with connect for lemmy. which is visually very clean but it neither has an edit comment function nor a block user function yet. lemming has both functions but loks a lot more clunky.
Connect is improving crazy-fast.
Blocking users has already been added. I'm sure comment editing will show up any day now.
I'm using Jerboa
I'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.

Wefwef until it exploted on lemmy.world, Jerboa is dead with lemmy.world as well...
Man, lemmy.world really needs to fix their instance to make it at time when "the big migration" happens.
For now I'm using Liftoff and Connect, with honorable mentions to Lemming and Thunder.
Actually I use all of them lol.
I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!

I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.
