Which Android app would you recommend for Lemmy? I’m looking for something simple, something I can just scroll through while I’m bored. Doesn’t have to be on google’s store.
Anything but Sync sadly.
Voyager is what I use now.
Voyager in the browser
Voyager
Yeah, it’s even on F-Droid!
+1 for voyager. It has a clean and minimal UI, nice user experience and a lot of QoL stuff.
Boost for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy
I left Reddit because Boost stopped being supported there.
Another vote for boost. So customizable that you can make it exactly how you want your experience to be.
The free version does have ads but the paid is a dollar a year and it goes straight to the developer.
Is it a subscription now? I paid $6 in January, one-time fee.
Really wish it had swipe gestures. Also the zoom limit on pictures is short for no good reason
Thunder.
But really, just try them out. You’ll get a dozen recommendations here. If you use F-Droid just search for Lemmy and start at the top.
Not sync. It’s abandoned.
I think he was making an attempt but then Lemmy 1.0 was announced around the same time.
Unfortunately, it was my favorite. I stuck with Sync after the reddit api-pocolypse
Sync was the best
Or connect, which is where I went from sync. Voyager has been solid though.
Are you referring to a different Connect app? The one on Google Play had an update a few months ago, does not seem abandoned.

I don’t actively use the app, just curious.
That’s the one. Unfortunately it hasn’t been able to load most images for a while. I do like the app otherwise though.
I’m so fucking shocked lol.
They invalidated my license back when the first version of the reddit app came out, so I had to purchase it again to get rid of ads because I liked the app. When I saw they made a Lemmy app I knew to stay away.
I started with Jerboa and it has been just fine for me, but I’m not picky
Same here. Not switching to anything else.
Summit is where it’s at!
So I guess that’s how I get all my owl pictures.
Whoa, that’s a pretty awesome tecolotyl! I’m glad you’re still enjoying all the owls.
If OP is just looking to browse and maybe make the occasional post or comment, any of the clients people recommend are going to be fine. But for anyone active here, Summit has really aided my productivity, it’s very customizable to my style tastes and my workflow, and the dev is very active here and has been an amazing help taking people’s feedback and lightning fast bug fixes. I don’t know if I’d be as active here as I am without Summit being what it is, and I’m very grateful for it.
I like Voyager, it’s essentially a web app though so it’s a bit slower than native apps. A bit sluggish on my low end phone.
For my low end phone I use Boost. It’s proprietary and comes with google ads, so I use adaway/luckypatcher to disable them.
i like summit because it has good privacy conditions and is extremely customizable and interstellar because it also shows posts from piefed.
Eternity. It’s open source

I just started using Blorp. It’s open source, very smooth, and the developer is quick to respond to bug reports.
Thank you! Blorp download links below

All of them work pretty well. I personally use Thunder because it just works really well with my usage habits (swipe controls are very customizable)
I started out using Boost For Lemmy, but have been using Interstellar for the last 4 months, because it supports Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin accounts.
Also, a recent feature, which I really like - When I go into the comment section of a post, I’ll see comments from across multiple communities, even ones I’m not a part of. Makes the fediverse feel more alive. It’s not just from cross-posts either afaict, and it’s not always perfect (Sometimes you’ll get a few comments on a post that are not related to it at all). But even then it’s still cool for discoverability of different communities!
Anyway, I thought I’d never leave Boost, but I’m Interstellar all the way for now and in the foreseeable future. Free and open-source, and apparently available for Android, Linux, and Windows devices, although I only use it on Android.
Thanks for the support. The unrelated comments is due to how Mbin classifies posts as cross posts based on either the url or the post title. It’s pretty good usually but sometimes when the title is relatively simple or generic there are some false positives.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the info!
