I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.
P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.
No one here using Jerboa??
I tried a handful, and the one I liked best is Thunder. There were aspects I liked about Voyager too, but Thunder was set up better in my opinion.
Eternity for Lemmy
That’s my client of choice
Many of them recommend this client too.
I really enjoy Sync.
I was using Voyager until Sync got ported over to Lemmy. Voyager is great, but I find Sync more responsive. I also really appreciate Sync’s appearance customization. I’m old, so I like cranking the size of some text.
I think there’s an ad supported version of Sync if you want to try it. I paid the CDN$10 or whatever it cost on release. It’s worth it to me.
I also really like sync. I also paid for the ad free version.
But there are still some issues and the dev is, again, inactive.
Yeah. As much as I like Sync, I’m envious of aeharding’s constant improvements to Voyager.
I think I want to give a try to Sync soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Big +1 for Sync.
I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.
It’s an awesome app. Best app purchase I’ve ever made. (There is a free version too.)
If you’re on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.
Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.
👍🏼
Raccoon, second best is Eternity
I loved infinity for reddit so I’m on eternity for Lemmy (a fork of infinity). The other I use is Jerboa. Haven’t enjoyed anything else I’ve tried, not that I’ve tried everything.
Love it! I think I’ll settle for Voyager.
Welp, I’m on voyager too lol
😎
I personally love Voyager.
Same goes for me. I feel dizzy after trying Mlem. 😵💫
I was a Boost for Reddit user. Now using wefwef for Lemmy. Does the job.
Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.
Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.
Mlem is a lot better than Voyager. Better features, faster, has fewer errors messages. At least for me.
I loved Apollo and appreciate Voyager but it doesn’t respect hiding read posts very well so I turned to Mlem which is now my favorite. The v2 beta is even better, adding easy markdown formatting and some nicer UI enhancements (the vote counter scrolling up or down on vote is a nice touch).
Thanks for the feedback.
Tried all, ended up using Summit.
Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support
It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn’t consume content (by URL)
I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest
Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty
Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.
I use connect as well, great app
I’ll give a try soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
It’s been my choice since day 1.
If you’re on android I can highly recommend Eternity. Open source and a fork of Infinity for Reddit; which is still going as a paid service post Reddit API débâcle. I loved Infinity prior to Reddit being a bitch and Eternity is just as great
How about on iOS? 🥲
