(single quotes around best for subjectivity) I’m trying to get all of my Android using friends and family into the Fediverse.
I’m an iOS user, so I have no idea about Android apps.
Voyager recently got added to F-Droid but can also be used as PWA from a web browser but personally I’m currently waiting until Infinity for Lemmy actually will get it’s first stable release
Infinity is great, much cleaner/easier to read layout compared to Sync IMO.
when I wanted a lemmy app, searching f-droid only pulled up Jerboa, and I remain happy with it.
I really really wanted to use Jerboa. I love Jerboas and I love FOSS.
But I tried sync today and it’s just better.
Really disappointed at the pricing model but I’m just ad blocking it in protest of the insane pricing.
As an app though, I’d happily buy it for a reasonable price given the quality.
Good resource for all platforms: https://lemdro.id/post/4319
Constantly updated, so make sure to check in there every couple of weeks.
I think most apps are decent in their own way and appeal to different users. Some want a simple client that just does what it needs to do, some prefer complete customization, some prefer having the exact same interface that they had on reddit, some prefer something a little different.
Infinity, Sync, Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, just to name a few, are all good for different reasons. Some upcoming ones look really nice (particularly Artemis which will be for Kbin and, shortly later, Lemmy) and several are cross-platform, which is a benefit when suggesting something that everyone can use.
I personally really like the Photon web app UI. And since it’s a web app, it’s platform agnostic as well which is nice. (Another bonus is that any instance can use it and other web app interfaces as potential alternative interfaces for the entire instance, like lemdro.id using Photon for https://nu.lemdro.id/)
To be honest, I just stick with the web interface at this point. I’ve become so used to it and I don’t feel like using apps that were reddit ones or try to emulate them or reddit in general. Prefer Lemmy feeling a bit, if only a little, different from my previous time on the orange nightmare site, but I get why others prefer them for familiarity.
I like Thunder and Infinity
I have been using Thunder for a few weeks and it works very well. It has the best compact interface for me, close to the RedReader experience.
Infinity!
I’m an Infinity user too, though its name might change soon as the developer is discussing this in this post
Great app, very level headed developer and the way he asks for community users input makes you feel included.
I use Connect on my phone. I’ve tried others, even Sync when it came out but I guess I was already used to Connect.
Not open source
That’s not a requirement for everyone. And I don’t mind paying someone for their efforts.
It kind of is, in this community.
To win over friends and family, an app being FOSS doesn’t matter as much as its UI/UX.
This is a FOSS-specific community.
Sync for lemmy now. Boost for lemmy when it comes out. Jerboa is nice too.
This is the FOSS community and neither Sync nor Boost are open source.
