Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
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.
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.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
Sync is the reason I’m here, and the reason why my Reddit account is practically dead. For me, Sync was Reddit, and without it I have no reason to stay.
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
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
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to 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.
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
+1 for Liftoff
Is there a way to copy the posted link to an article straight from the feed in Liftoff? When I hit “copy link” it copies the link to the post on lemmy. I do not want this.
I’m another Liftoff user!
I’ve also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I’m using Liftoff a lot.
Idk, i use Eternity (Infinity Fork).
I love eternity! Although it’s probably because I was so used to infinity beforehand.
I tried jerboa and liftoff as well and they were fine, but eternity just has that familiar feel
Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.
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.
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”.
Having tried lots of them, it is definitely dependent on the user. Try them all and pick your favorite!
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
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!
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
Fuck, I thought I was a mainstream lemmy user and now I find out that using voyager apparently makes me an outsider. :(
Does it? How so? I’m using Voyager as well and I see it mentioned in similar posts as well so not too much of a rarity I guess.
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
We could - but we’re still getting comments here. Why not continue to use this thread and sort by new?
Also - this topic doesn’t even really belong in Asklemmy per the rules. If anything, I’m more inclined to unpin it and return to dealing with posts as needed.
I agree with unpinning entirely, it’s an odd fit
