why do people use boost? heard it has ads in it. not to mention it collects and shares data. it baffles me why anyone would use it over something like voyager. (also its a proprietary app for a FOSS project)

I use thunder because I contributed 5 whole lines to its source code 😎
was shocked to see boost and sync at 50 million downloads, but mil is just thousand in the language you were using haha
LMAO Srry about that X3 it confuses me too all the time cuz I usually have apps in English unless their main language is Spanish (so, always X3) but a few r in Spanish either cuz they wont let me change the language of just that app or I forgot to check if they do :p
I use sync and I used it when it was a reddit app. It was funny to join Lemmy while hating on sync was trendy.
I use sync too but I wish the developer actually seemed to give a fuck. Seems he took all the initial money and bounced. I know he comes and goes but people pay for this app and it should be maintained properly.
I'm on sync.. What are the issues? Also I think the team works on his sporadically, it's not a main thing, more like a hobby thing.
Do you remember RIF? And that time reddit forced all the third party apps to change their names by adding "for Reddit" at the end? So RIF changed the name to "RIF is fun for Reddit", that is "Reddit if Fun is Fun for Reddit". Good times.
RIF is short for RIF is fun, not Reddit is fun because at a different point in time, Reddit didn't want other clients to have the word reddit in their name.
Play Store? Boooo
jk
Boooo indeed :< But I've been looking into Obtainium and it sounds awesome :3
The Raccoon logo is awesome. 😎
Downloading now just because of that.
i use thunder and eternity, eternity's my fav bc of the ui customisability an seperating downloads into folders per community. but also thunder just cuz it looked cool an it works :3
I use Jerboa because it's lightweight and i have an outdated phone.
I was using Eternity for a while, mostly because I used Infinity on Reddit and it's a fork of that. But it's still not feature complete and it hasn't been updated in ages, so I'm on Voyager now.
I tried searching for keepass2android yesterday and none of the results on the Play Store were the app. There was one old icons pack, the rest was just something else.
Is that app shadow banned or something? I can open the app page if I follow a direct link

Please use fdroid, search for apps there, copy the source URL and use it with obtainium
Been pretty happy with Connect coming from RiF
I've only ever used Jeroba. It's what I picked first and I like how it's fairly simple and straightforward. I used Now For Reddit before the APIpocalypse and really liked that interface even if (or perhaps because) gif support never happened for that app. I'm open to trying something else though, especially if one has an easy crosspost feature.
Its sad that apps build on foss services which pushes ad and tracking have more downloads than better foss apps
I use Thunder and previously I used Voyager. Both are amazing open source clients for Lemmy!
50 million downloads? Is lemmy really that popular?
No, it's 50 000. It says mil, which means thousand in Portuguese (and in Spanish and Italian, if I'm not mistaken?) imo it's confusing, because Google likes using 50mil when it's 50 000 and using 50M when it's 50 000 000.
It's kinda depressing I'm not even in the list...
Well whatever, I still use my app daily
I switched between all of them for months, but I end with Raccoon. It's simply the best.
Been using Voyager for a while since jerboa would crash on startup, both are good but I think Voyager is my favorite now.
PROTECT THE RULECASE!
Tested Raccoon and its basically like Jerboah but worse with too big UI, missing features and bugs.
Jerboah forever! Its the most stable Lemmy client and also full featured.
I use eternity because it's made from infinity
I just realized I haven't been on reddit since sync closed down.
Fun fact: Eternity for Reddit was named after it's update schedule
I'm a huge Boost fan.
