Jerboa is great. Free and made by the head Lemmy Dev. Never tried others

Maybe I should try Jerboa too.
Connect has works well for me. Reminds me of reddit is fun which was my go to

I tried a bunch but jerboa has been constantly good for me :)

I really enjoy Sync.
I was using Voyager until Sync got ported over to Lemmy. Voyager is great, but I find Sync more responsive. I also really appreciate Sync's appearance customization. I'm old, so I like cranking the size of some text.
I think there's an ad supported version of Sync if you want to try it. I paid the CDN$10 or whatever it cost on release. It's worth it to me.
I also really like sync. I also paid for the ad free version.
But there are still some issues and the dev is, again, inactive.
Yeah. As much as I like Sync, I'm envious of aeharding's constant improvements to Voyager.
Big +1 for Sync.
I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.
It's an awesome app. Best app purchase I've ever made. (There is a free version too.)
I think I want to give a try to Sync soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
I just use Jerboa since that was the most mature app when the Reddit drama happened. I haven't tried other clients because it's Good Enoughβ’ for me
No one here using Jerboa??
I started using thunder when I got my current phone, which I do prefer but I liked Jerboa too.
Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.
Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.
Mlem is a lot better than Voyager. Better features, faster, has fewer errors messages. At least for me.
Voyager is my favorite, but mlem is a close second for me
Glad to hear that you like Voyager too. π€
Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.
Voyager is the best for me. Used Apollo for Reddit for years on my iPhone, so Voyager on Android just feels familiar and comfortable. Like sleeping in your own bed.
i'm on boost. i've tried quite a few options, but even with the ads, boost just feels like home.
Liking Voyager, after trying a few unsuccessfully. This is the first one that rivals the old Reddit Is Fun for me
Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support
It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn't consume content (by URL)
I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest
Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty
Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.
I loved infinity for reddit so I'm on eternity for Lemmy (a fork of infinity). The other I use is Jerboa. Haven't enjoyed anything else I've tried, not that I've tried everything.
If you're on android I can highly recommend Eternity. Open source and a fork of Infinity for Reddit; which is still going as a paid service post Reddit API dΓ©bΓ’cle. I loved Infinity prior to Reddit being a bitch and Eternity is just as great
I've used Memmy, Avalon, and settled on Voyager because Apollo just scratched that itch like nothing else. There's not really any terrible choice other than web/no client app.
If you where a RIF user, go with boost. It's as close to rif as it gets. Since the rif dev went to that ban happy tildes site.
Is tildes still around? I haven't heard from it since the blackout.
I believe so, it's where a lot of us went at first, but then realized if the guy running it doesn't like you, he just will ban you. Which is fine, it's his site, but that's not what I or many others wanted.
I used to use Boost for Reddit so I naturally started using Boost for Lemmy when it came out. But for some reason I wasn't quite satisfied with it.
I'm currently on Thunder and have been liking it a lot. Don't really hear it talked about much though.
Using Eternity and very happy with it, just as I was when it was Infinity for Reddit.
If youβre on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.
if ios, then Arctic for sure. it's the only one that feels as smooth as apollo did, has some excellent customizability, and is just as feature rich as the more popular clients
I use Thunder currently. My first Android Lemmy client was Jerboa, which was fine.
I've tried Voyager, and I can't remember right now why I didn't stick with it, but I ended up just gravitating towards Thunder. It's UI strikes the right balance between feature full and minimal imho.
I had the exact same experience lol.
