I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people's conclusions are thus far.

Gunna wait for Boost to come out, and when it does, whoever wins out of Sync, Infinity, and Boost, I'm getting ad free for (probably Boost)

Waiting for Apollo to retool themselves and come to Lemmy. That would truly hurt Reddit.

Jerboa is on f-droid, which makes life easier for me

I loved infinity for reddit. Did I miss a memo or something, I thought he decided to try to make the reddit client financially sustainable?

Someone decided to develop a fork. Posting from it right now. You can download it here

Go here. Not perfect, yet. But feels like home.

Sync is more polished, but Infinity has a much better layout on the Galaxy Fold. I'm using Infinity for now, but hoping it improves quickly.

Neither is as good as Reddit Is Fun for foldables, unfortunately. That had a perfect interface IMO. Much better than Apollo too.

One thing that really bothers me on Infinity is that I see no way to show the parent of a comment that I am looking at. It only times you the option to show all other comments, but not the parent specifically.

Finally, I got around to downloading Sync, and I'm impressed. I'm still going to use Infinity as my main access to Lemmy, but all my other programs were uninstalled, and Sync is now backing up Infinity.

BTW, not saying do it but to those complaining about ads, adguard.dns.com or quad9 dns are both free.

I'm using Infinity at the moment, since it is what I have used with Reddit until the API changes. I've always loved Infinity's swipe actions, and I haven't encountered any serious bugs so far. I'm gonna try and help contribute back to the app when I can.

I'm using connect, it's simple and just works. It was rough when I first came over but had been fine for a while now. I'm assuming they worked out some of the bugs they had at the beginning.

Sync > Thunder > Jeroba

Edit: I'm keeping the spelling lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeroba

Sounds like a planet housing some skywalker kid

Sync and Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've used sync for almost ten years and am all in on it until something better comes along. Thunder is very nice too, but it's not sync.

For the time being I'm sticking with Voyager. Sync is a lil too pricey and Infinity doesn't quite feel finished it's Lemmy migration (was my fav reddit app)

I used to mostly use connect and then infinity and voyager are out in the same day. Honestly, voyager feels really nice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Infinity! It was my go-to client for Reddit, and now it's my go-to client for Lemmy. Most basic things work. There are still some bugs lurking in the app, but it's still in Alpha so that's kinda expected.

The UI is really smooth and customizable, but I guess anyone who's ever used Infinity already knows this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm new to Lemmy and using sync because it works for me. I was a relay for reddit user, but I quit reddit and this is a reasonable facsimile for me. I'm happy enough with this interface but time will tell.

I had been using Connect a good bit for the last couple of weeks. But Sync impressed me by how polished it feels. So I'm using Sync now.

I'll keep on evaluating others. So far, none have moderator action support. So I'll probably switch to whatever app has that first.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I have Sync and Jerboa, and I must say, Sync is polished and smooth and makes it more simple to use. I haven't tried the Infinity for Lemmy but I might test that one out, too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is still the best one for me.
