Voyager. Closest (so far) to Apollo UI.

Yea, sadly. You can open the app to hear some music and get a link to the merch store. It also unlocks an extra in the developer’s other app, pixel pals. But no browsing

BOOOOOOOOST

Boost has been my go to for Reddit, and now also for Lemmy. Best app ever.

just wanted to point out how amazing it is to have so many high quality choices for Lemmy apps when theres only 40,000 active monthly users! And how the uptime has improved over the last month..

[-] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

Sync for Lemmy is my daily-driver, but I also use the pwa (Voyager/wefwef), Liftoff, and Connect.

Yep, 4 apps for browsing Lemmy with, and I love them all for different reasons. I've used Sync for years and had no problem paying to get rid of ads - so many hours of entertainment have been facilitated by Sync, and I appreciate that enough to pay for it.

Sync, I've used it for years on reddit and am quite used to it.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

Liftoff. Just a plain, minimal, and stable experience.

Jerboa is still my choice. Thunder is good but is slow at times, I used to be Infinity for Reddit user but I've become enamored with MD3.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago
[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Me too, such a great app. I tried others and were not good for me.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I tried it back in June but it seemed like it was down every other day. I switched to Connect and haven't had any issues, so I've stuck with it. I'm glad to hear Jerboa recovered because it was a nice experience when it would work.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Eternity.

Just Infinity, but for Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Boost. Loved it when I was still using reddit. Am really happy to be able to use it again for Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Boost just dropped so I'm giving that an honest try, so far it seems great. Connect is the alternative I've been using for some time.

Boost is a lot smoother, which makes sense since it's had years to mature, but it's missing some Lemmy specific features still. Connect has the features, but it's less polished.

Both are likely to improve more, and I'll likely use Boost moving forward, but I do have some concerns about if the ads trackers go away when I pay to remove them

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Boost! As an avid Boost for Reddit user, this feels like coming home.

Sync for now, I'll give Boost a shot when it's 1.0.

[-] kersploosh 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Currently Summit because it is the only app that supports mod actions (that I know of). The dev also implemented some of my suggestions and I'm still happy about that, so I'm biased.

Otherwise I like the simplicity of Jerboa.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Using Connect for now and it's working well for me

Personally, Jerboa

It reminds me a lot of BaconReader for Reddit

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I use Jerboa too, and as a former BaconReader user I agree it feels somewhat similar

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Connect. I have jerboa and sync installed but the regex filters in connect are are a killer feature and I'm quite happy with the app

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Same. I've switched to it when starting with Lemmy and it's been a great app. To me the UI is preferable to Jerboa and Sync. I used to use Baconreader for Reddit and Connect feels kinda similar.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I oscillate between Mlem and Avelon these days as they are both native SwiftUI apps.

Really shocked no one has mentioned Sync For Lemmy!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.syncapps.lemmy_sync

Same dev that built the legendary Sync for Reddit app. Very stable builds with be QoL and other features showing up regularly.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Eternity. I feel like not many people know about it, which is a shame - it's the most polished open source Lemmy app (haven't tried the ad-ridden spying ones, can't compare with them).

Boost. Was my favorite for years on the other platform, very happy to see it launched here

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Boost. Since the app dropped a few days ago I've been using Lemmy as much as I never did.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I use Jerboa as well as my main lemmy client (Voyager being the stand by). I like the vintage feel of Jerboa, at the same time can't deny the fact that Jerboa is the oldest and battle-tested client among all.

The only thing Jerboa is missing is a complete search functionality (currently it just searches for communities).

As soon as the capability to search for posts and communities (IIRC a bug was raised in Jan 2022 for this by dessalines himself) - Jerboa will arguably be the best lemmy app around.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Eternity - The new name of Infinity for Lemmy, which is a fork from Infinity for Reddit.

I even have imported my settings from the original.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Memmy. I tried a bunch, but Memmy is the one I kept coming back to.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I am testing out voyager as memmy keeps stopping working, but yeah, if memmy didn't keep crashing, would agree.

I use liftoff. I like that voting and images/like are all on the right side for one-handed scrolling. Tried boost but could not get it to work the same.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Eternity. Same interface as my favorite Reddit app - infinity

Eternity for life

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Boost! So glad it's back as a Lemmy app!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I just use the web UI in Opera browser.
