    What app are you guys using for Lemmy now ? I’m on Jerboa . I find it laggy while scrolling. What’s a better alternative?

      You can also try installing the PWA (if your browser supports it). On https://sh.itjust.works, Somewhere on the browsers web page options, there should be something along “Install” or “Add to home screen”. PWA is basically the website but without browser controls, so it feels more native.

      Well there’s many as of now. They’re in early stages and errors occur on and off, I guess that’s okay. I suggest you check out Thunder, Connect for Lemmy and liftoff. These work great and I like Connect’s UI. You can WefWef for an experience very close to Apollo, keep in mind it’s a web app, but it works really great. I suggest you try all the apps and see which one you like the best. Here’s the list: Lemmotif Summit Connect Thunder WefWef. P.S Do check out Kbin-social. It’s federates with Mastodon, I think, if you’re into that.

      I like Jerboa, now that lemmy.world is updated to 0.18.1 it is working fine.

      I like Jerboa so far. I haven’t experienced any lag But it’s annoying that when I go back to the list of posts or comments, the cursor automatically jumps to the top and I don’t want to scroll back to where I’ve been.

      wefwef.app doesn’t have this problem. It’s also smooth. However, I prefer a native app than browsing via a web browser.

      Connect for Lemmy is amazing.

      There’s also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.

      Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.

        I’m using Connect as well and finding it easier and less buggy to use than I was Liftoff or Jerboa. Digging the site so far, I hope it keeps growing!
