Wasn't aware of Connect, that might actually be the one to hold me until Sync comes out. I was jumping between jerboa (for the swipe actions) and thunder (for the UI similar to sync), but connect seems to have both and a few other things that remind me of Sync (cards for posts, hold to collapse comment thread, swipe actions for post).
I know you posted out of frustration but thanks for the suggestion!
Connect has blocking communities and hiding threads which is fantastic. I'm waiting for something better, but I need to be able to block the massive amount of futa/hentai/ai porn communities on here.
I'm holding out hope for boost lemmy. Used boost exclusively for Reddit for the longest time. Jebora seems to work best for me but Ive had both Jeb and connect for a while.
Iβm mostly on mobile for vacation reasons, so Iβm chilling on wefwef, but if they donβt add blocking soon Iβll move on. Canβt handle the βblahajβ.
Iβm most excited to try Liftoff because it looks like the most x-platform compatibility? I think I saw windows/macOS/iOS/android, and I use all 4. I prefer apps to website browsing for this sort of thing on desktop, so thatβs attractive.
Interested to hear what other people are using/enjoying!
I think the most recent Connect updates makes it much better. I've been using it more than Liftoff the last couple of days. Is Thunder not on the Google Play store? I couldn't find it.
I'm trying out Liftoff right now, and so far I think it's given me the best overall experience. I think I'll wait until the rest of the Lemmy apps stabilize before thinking about trying other apps again.
I'm on Connect right now. I quite like it, especially how fast it is (or maybe that's a consequence of Lemmy being fast in general). UI seems clean enough. But I really really miss the content filtering that Sync provided.
I was really positively surprised to hear Sync is being developed for Lemmy. Hoping it releases soon!
Despite the iPhone-focused interface, I've found myself using Voyager/Wefwef the most. Liftoff is second. Jerboa is third as it is functional, but just doesn't seem to match my work flow.
I also have Thunder and Connect, but I don't find myself using those as much.
Today is a Connect day and within the past week they've changed it up enough that I'm really enjoying it. Mostly hiding posts, hiding read posts, and marking scrolled past posts as read (so hide on refresh). It's not perfect but it's better than it was a few days ago before the most recent update.
I bounce between Jerboa for discovery(its search works best for finding communities) and Liftoff for browsing posts. Though Jerboa seems to be improving faster than Liftoff.
