Asklemmy

Boost, hands down! It was my favourite for Reddit and is still just as amazing in it's Lemmy version.

Been using Eternity for a while now, works great. Handles lemmy links pretty well too.

Sync is amazing!

Boost! @rmayayo did such a great port. Best Reddit app, best lemmy app... On Android ;P

Boost. I used it's reddit app exclusively because I liked it so much, and the Lemmy version is perfect too. 10/10

Boost for Lemmy

Eternity (so far)

Really enjoying Voyager so far. Avaliable as Android, iOS and PWA and best of all open-source ans free.

No, it's Sync

I like sync. But I also like that there are so many different answers here. Seems to bode well for the fediverse.

Thunder. It gives me that Relay for Reddit experience and I've not needed to switch ever since downloading it.

Eternity

Firefox.

Seriously. Every app I've tried has come up short in one way or another. Lemmy is best in a browser and the best browser is Firefox.

Connect for Lemmy. It's a lot like Relay for Reddit was. And it lets you block users, communities, instances. I still have Thunder app and the /kbin instant app installed, but after the first month I rarely use them. Connect is great.

I hopped over to Boost as soon as it was available. I was on Jerboa before but that was finicky.

Sync for Lemmy

I've been using sync pretty much every day since it became available, it was my Reddit client of choice too, so it's helped me cut Reddit out entirely.

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but does anyone know if any of the iOS apps have a similar experience to sync, particularly those with iPad support?

I like experimenting and switching, so no choice is ever "final". Speaking of open source apps: Jerboa is the only native (kotlin+jetpack compose) for Android and its author is one of the very creators of Lemmy itself so he is an authority and I really like his "philosophy". Thunder offers a very polished and appealing UI/UX. Liftoff is feature rich even though somehow buggy. Apart from the mere app features, the community, the developer attitude, its being an open platform etc. are all factors to consider in my opinion.

Using Connect. Pretty happy with it so far. Feels smooth and snappy. Best of all, it doesn't collect any personal data.

Boost is perfect, I used jerboa for a long time and is too buggy for me

Boost has ads, but is pretty feature complete.

EDIT: it's like a one time payment of $4. Well worth it imho.

Liftoff

Voyager and Eternity

Liftoff and Sync are both amazing.

I tried all of them and I kept going back to Jerboa so I've stuck with it for now. I might try them again at some point.

There was always something weird with most of them with the way they implemented profiles, profile pictures, profile banners, community icons and community banners that made them seem off. I haven't encountered any bugs. I'd be curious to know what bugs people are running into with it.

My favourite is Jerboa, what issues are you having with it?

Voyager app

I also use Thunder but voyager is my go to app. I've tried most of the others but always end up back with voyager.

Boost mostly and Eternity.

Loving Thunder! Have tried all the others.

Really like liftoff

Sync was nice. But Boost is back! Was my favorite reddit app for years.

Jerboa I keep around, just in case. It was the first one I used. It is clunky, sadly. It just stutters way too much for some reason.

i gave up on jerboa in the earlier days and moved to Connect. havent felt the need to move on from that since then.

Jerboa may have improved since i used it though so don't that this as me slating it. Jerboa is developed by the same dev that writes the main lemmy backend and webapp so obvs he needs to prioritise that

I prefer Sync but I can't figure out how to embiggen all text, so comments and stuff are fine but the actual text of a post is miniscule so I'm back on Voyager. I find the navigation a bit clunky but overall it's good. I also used connect for a while but it was slow.

Edit: thanks everyone who linked settings but none of those are it. Here is an example of what I see on posts in sync vs the comments. I also forgot it doesn't give me in app notifications if I get a message or response. I don't want push notifications but it doesn't give me in app notifications either. https://i.imgur.com/iUY2Sfw.png

Went back to Jerboa, as the rest is worse in my experience. Thunder maybe?

Liftoff

...Jerboa.

Thunder also pretty good

I tried all of them but kept coming back to voyager...until boost came out. It's now my favorite, with voyager at #2 now.

Boost is best no doubt.

But for low end phones (like mine), Jerboa is a good alternative.

I have tried Connect, Sync, and Jerboa. They're all pretty nice, but Jerboa just "feels right" to me. Former BaconReader user fwiw

Summit because it's the only app with moderation features implemented. I'll revisit other apps once they get to that part of their respective roadmaps.
