Sync! It's what I used on Reddit, and having it here made switching platforms so much smoother.
Voyager…formerly wefwef.
It has all platforms - Web, PWA, iOS and Android.
It is free and open source. No tracking and no ads.
Me too. Same app for my PC and Android feels good.
Eternity
Based
Boost (the best social app ever) & Jerboa (simple, lightweight alternative).
Boost gang! 🚀🚀
I can't even begin to describe how amazing Boost is. It's the only android Reddit app that I will acknowledge, and it's the only client that got me into Lemmy.
Has to be Boost.
Boost is too nosy.
Memmy (on iOS).
Astoundingly good for solo effort at sub v1.0.
Yeah. It’s my favorite at the moment, but it doesn’t seem well maintained
The github is active again! Looks like the dev is back from their break
Jerboa
Thunder
Posted from Boost!
Boost is the reason I'm contributing to this community.
Sync
Eternity. Previously Liftoff.
I tried a couple, but I always go back to just using the web interface through Firefox. It has all the features I need, no extra ads, trackers or permissions, and is pretty comfortable to use. Then again, I don't moderate any communities and I'm not a very prolific poster, so my needs are pretty basic.
Mlem!
Connect is the closest to Relay which was my favourite Reddit app. It also doesn't have ads.
I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.
On Android, former Relay for Reddit user.
Right now I have SEVEN lemmy apps on my home screen as I figure out which I like best. So far I keep going back to Sync the most.
Boost's animations suck. It takes too long to show the post list after swiping away an image and the whole screen goes black, it's a bit jarring.
Liftoff works well but it's ugly.
Jerboa isn't very customizable and the post list doesn't feel dense enough.
Voyager literally does not tell you what instance the community you're viewing is on.
I haven't touched Thunder in a while but I see they've updated quite a bit with a lot more customization. I remember older versions being nice, so I'll give it a try again.
Connect is about the same as Liftoff, works well but kinda ugly. Admittedly not as ugly though.
That issue with Boost may be device dependent. It is only a split second of black for me on an S23. But, i agree it should just be better no matter the device.
For Voyager, there is a setting to show the instance.
Eternity, I came from infinity, so it's the only choice for me
Avelon
Scrolled way to far to find this! Best one on iOS hands down.
Jerboa because you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. And it's FOSS.
Boost is still smoother and feels nicer though.
I've tried a few for ios and landed on Bean.
Alexandrite for desktop, bean for iOS and Boost for Android
It was Memmy for a long time but the developer seems to be on break with development and the app has some irritating bugs.
At the moment using Avelon and it’s really good and still on development.
All I can say is that projects were many on iOS during the Reddit API debacle in June and that now, barely any gets updated.
Thunder. It was the best one out there for me during the early reddit downfall and now that it has everything I need featurewise I love it. Having watched it's devolopment I also feel a little attached to it.
tried Jerboa at first but it was extremely choppy. Now I use Sync and it's smooth af
I like voyager on smartphones and Photon on laptops and desktops.
Connect on phone, voyager on desktop
I tried Jerbora and now stick to Connect, haven't tried boost coz Connect has been great recently
I'm on Summit now, it's quite nice. I've managed to set it up to feel similar enough to RiF.
I like Thunder, which is open-source. The Devs are super nice too.
I recently switched to Eternity and I'm loving it so far. Only been using it a day, but I haven't run into any issues or anything to dislike.
I personally do not want to use any applications that have ads/tracking. I don't believe they have any place on Lemmy. I know already that I'm gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but I understand that these devs need to make money somehow. I just think it goes against the whole freer internet thing. Despite this, I don't really have a problem with them because they are contributing to the growth of Lemmy. And besides it is way better than using a centralised social media platform haha, so it will remain a personal choice.
I have been using Connect. It works well
