    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

    I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn't really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.

    Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.

    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.

    There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

    Right now I'm using Liftoff on Android.

    for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app's community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.

    Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.

    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".

    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.

    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

    It was previously my least favorite android option, but Jerboa is coming together nicely.

    I also have Thunder and liftoff installed. I bounce between all 3.

    I'll most likely be jumping to Boost if/when that comes out because I'm just so used to it.

    Jerboa seems great to me

    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.

    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.

    The official community is at /c/lemmyconnect

    Fuck, I thought I was a mainstream lemmy user and now I find out that using voyager apparently makes me an outsider. :(

    'Connect' seems to be quite good.

    For me personally, Jerboa is the best Android Lemmy app that I've tried, and I have tried several of them. I'll just be glad when Sync for Lemmy is released.

    I use Infinity for reddit and am now using infinity for lemmy, I like the familiarity and with a bit more work it will probably become the standard android lemmy app. Having said that I liked jerboa and still use it too.

    Could we get a new pinned comment for this. Some of this is our of date now and it would be nice to discuss.

    Apps, interfaces, browser extensions, scripts

    Of the ones I have tried Sync and Thunder are my preferred options.

    Are you trying to restart the lemmy app war? We finally just rid ourselves of the constant memes.

    New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual β€˜responsibility’ lies.

    1. It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from β€˜All’.

    It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.

    Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?

    1. May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?

    Anyone?

    https://wefwef.app is amazing. PWA and hence cross-platform.

    I've tried almost all of them and shockingly Jerboa seems the best despite being the first as far as I'm aware.

    Sync comes in last for having ads unfortunately. Or basically just disqualified.

    for me liftoff is the least buggy and runs smoother than thunder or jerboa

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 3 years ago (2 children)

    They're all good in their own ways, but I'm starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there's no real interaction with them
