I use Eternity because I heavily used Infinity, the Reddit app that it's forked from

Eternity ftw
Eternity is great! Best UI in my opinion.
There are a hundred little things that grind my gears with eternity though. Trying to work through them without switching for now.
Jerboah is the oldest but best.
Thunder is my favorite with Voyager a close second.
Voyager is way more popular, but I don't like it's iOS-like UI, so I went with Thunder
voyager is easiest to use.
eternity is most customizable.
i use both.
Just downloaded Eternity after using Jerboa for a while. This is so much better, even more so since I used Infinity for reddit.
As some others, I use Jerboa. Tried a few others, but happy with it.
My top choices:
- Jerboa and Eternity are native Android apps (the first uses modern technologies like Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, the second one has a lot of Java code and the UI is made with XML layouts for activities/fragments);
- Voyager is portable web app built with React in Typescript, with mobile flavours made using Ionic capacitor;
- Thunder is a cross-platform app built with Flutter in Dart (like Liftoff and Lemmur were in their days);
- there are other FOSS apps like Combustibile (native/Java+XML) or Muffed (Flutter)...
I just want one that opens the lemmy links properly when I click on them from within in posts. I have all links selected in open default apps.

Summit is what I use.
Voyager is nice and gets updated frequently
Ive only used jebora. Till I saw this one in a few posts. Kinda digging it. Its a tad more "modern" feeling. I guess. Thanks.
No problem. I liked it initially for the modern feeling too and then came to enjoy the gesture based controls
Jerboa with Dracula theme of course.
Boost and Voyager
Voyager is absolutely fantastic, even as a PWA. Eternity is very competent too, especially if you are/were an Infinity for Reddit user.
I've settled on Thunder. The only downside is that they haven't implemented replying to direct messages yet, you can only view them but apart from that, it's good.
I like Eternity
I dont know is Connect FOSS, but its amazing. I used to be on liftoff, but its not maintained anymore
I just use Jerboa, functional and simple. I use Tusky for Mastodon for the same reason.
I've tried a few of them now and have settled on Eternity.
Voyager has the nice feature to mark posts as read if you scroll past them. Has no way to create posts though.
Sure it does. Click the dots in the upper right corner inside a community.
Ah, thanks! Though not in aggregates.

I was using Eternity, then switched to Summit but after learning that the GitHub repo was only to let people use obtainium (so no real source is available), switched back to Jerboa. Now that it has support for moderation tools, I don't think I need to make a switch atm.
Used to say liftoff but now Voyager is easily my favorite. Took some time getting used to but not bad at all.
I've jumped around a few mobile apps since I joined the fediverse, right now the one that checks the most boxes for me is Raccoon for Lemmy
I use Summit for now. I went through quite a few others but this one is a keeper.
