Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
- iOS: App Store Link
- Android: Google Play Store
Wefwef is now Voyager and has native apps for iOS and android as well as web app (WEP) and yes it’s still the best option imo
Sync for Lemmy (android)
I’ve been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don’t get me wrong they’re both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year’s subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Same
I’m so happy it’s here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.
Idk, i use Eternity (Infinity Fork).
+1 for Liftoff
I’m another Liftoff user!
I’ve also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I’m using Liftoff a lot.
After trying (imho) all android app, for me, Connect works the best.
I think it depends on one’s taste which app is the “best”.
Yes, but even connect has some issues e.g. triple notification.
That is something I personally can live with. So far, non of the tried android apps for Lemmy gave notifications properly.
For me, Sync For Lemmy
I have tried all of the ones on Android.
Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I’m on a pixel 7 pro so it’s not a legacy hardware issue either
Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I’ve been using it for reddit for the past decade.
Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it’s got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all
If you’d like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it’s not a big enough issue at all
Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
I’m also partial to Sync. It’s impressive how much of the UX was kept in making the transition to the Fediverse. I honestly can’t tell the difference between the previous Reddit client and the current Lemmy client
On Android, definitely Sync. Yes, it has ads, but they’re way less obnoxious than the ones on the official Reddit app, so I will keep putting up with them and u/Spez can go fuck himself.
You could just use AdGuard DNS anyway so you won’t actually see the ads.
I have about 6 installed. Connect is good. Liking Infinity right now. Jerboa is really good, but I like to have comments sorted by top as a default which is doesn’t do…yet.
Really, I’m waiting for Boost, but likely jump between a few for now.
Android: Eternity (A Lemmy client for Android, forked from the Infinity for Reddit project.) https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/
For me Summit.
I second Summit.
Very active developer, he just released mod tools and multi communities. I spent years browsing Reddit with Relay and felt miserable with every other Lemmy app, but with Summit, I felt right at home.
Jerboa seems great to me
Infinity for Reddit was my favourite Reddit client, and now that Infinity has a Lemmy fork I use it exclusively.
Isnt infinity severely bugged RN ?
Not less than Jerboa from my experience, very few crushes… There is a bug that if you refresh a thread twice in a row it crashes, but other than that easily avoidable big it hasn’t crashed for me once in either 0.0.6 or 0.0.8.
So far thunder has been the best client
My problem with it is than when leaving the app for a split second it doesn’t remember where I was the last time. This is especially frustrating when commenting. Infinity doesn’t have this problem. Actually it’s the only app that doesn’t have this problem (except maybe sync)
Also I’ve always always used Infinity so I’m pretty used to it although I have no problems adjusting to other apps.
Infinity is now eternity a new version is out !!
Ah. Forgot that even though I use it rn
I have tried Thunder as well, but I just like the GUI of Infinity.
Same , but thunder so far was least bugged although the new release has bugs , now liftoff really lifts off !
I’m glad we have so many choices, I can always easily switch clients whenever I want.
Just saw that connect is out too ! They all be getting polished if development goes on!
