Android

Prefer connect

Just installed what popped up first in F-Droid search (Jerboa) and not feeling like I need something else - everything just works and UI/UX feels natural.

I got Connect and it's fine. Free, no ads, and way faster than the mobile site. I might try some other free apps as they turn up.

I had been using Connect a good bit for the last couple of weeks. But Sync impressed me by how polished it feels. So I'm using Sync now.

I'll keep on evaluating others. So far, none have moderator action support. So I'll probably switch to whatever app has that first.

Boost For *Lemmy

I am happy with Jerboa. I used to use Boost and Infinity for Reddit. I tried out Infinity, Voyager, Sync and connect. So far, Jerboa has been the best experience for me.

Thunder is nice.

Swiping to do things really makes a clean UI.

I am using multiple apps right now. Sync feels really smooth. Summit also comes close in terms of fluidity I feel. I like Thunder and Liftoff as well. Waiting for more improvements on Thunder.

I prefer my own app, but that's a given :P

I did like many aspects of the official Reddit app until they enshittified it, so I'm reusing some concepts it had. It's still in alpha phase, and even then, there's some things I liked that I'm not sure I'll implement. I particularly liked the second tab in the bottom navigation bar when it had your list of subscribed subreddits and an alphabetical scrollbar. That was super awesome. I'll definitely try to add something like that in the future, probably after I get feature parity with the official UI.

I'm avoiding pop-ups by editing the current relevant components. So, when you press "submit", the error message will be inside the form instead of as a pop-up. Or when you report a post, the form appears inside the post instead of as a pop-up. It's much more intuitive to use and I think I can make it faster to use.

Neither. I'm just using my browser for now until Boost for Lemmy is ready. The mobile site is pretty good for moderate usage.

Wefwef/Voyager still feels superior to me. Will still test sync for a bit but I couldn't find any unique selling point yet.

Really loving Sync. I would be happy if I had to use it forever, but I will swap to Boost if that ever comes out because I'm just more familiar with it.

Sync is pretty good but its font options are awful on my phone. If I set the comments font size to "huge", it's still smaller than e.g. the clock in the notification bar. And then it's an unreasonably large jump from "huge" to "header".

It needs a simple font size slider instead of preset mystery values. As it is, it's just uncomfortable to use.

Not sure if Sync for Reddit had the same problem since I used other clients more.

I have been rotating through most lemmy clients on android, and the truth is I haven't been satisfied with any of them, although Jerboa was best of them even though the search was a bit lacking. I used Infinity on reddit and was kinda bummed it wasn't coming here. I found out about this fork 3 versions ago and am not looking back.

I prefer Infinity but I did so for Reddit too so it's just my prefered app in general, Sync definitely seems to have less rough edges! I think the main advantage over fresh Lemmy apps are their UX and Animations, those are increadably hard to get right without years of user feedback!

Voyager just released as and app too (previously it was only available as a web app). If you liked Apollo back in the day you are going to like it.

I'm waiting for boost to launch until then i am using jerboa
