I’ve been looking around for lemmy apps but I just can’t seem to find the best one if anyone has any suggestions they are welcome
sync is great, been using it for years
It was a great Reddit app and now it’s a great Lemmy app. Also daily driving Sync. ✋
i agree entirely
Sync is phenomenal, imo. It gets less traction here because it’s not FOSS and the price to remove ads is pretty high, but in terms of features and visuals it’s by far my favourite. Great customisation too.
I’ve tried probably a dozen apps, but can’t get anything else to look and feel as nice as Sync.
it’s also really smooth and the look and feel is awesome
Jerboa, IMO. The UI is acceptable. There aren’t many bugs. It’s updated with good regularity. Because it’s the most common, it’s also the most supported. It may not be exciting, but it’s pretty set-and-forget as far as configuration and troubleshooting goes.
I know people like the FOSS apps like Jerboa, but I wasn’t into the interface. I heard there were big changes since I tried it though so maybe it’s good now.
That said, Boost is my daily driver. Was happy with the Reddit version so I paid for the ad free Lemmy version too. Everything works and it’s all smooth and intuitive (to me at least).
I also tried Sync and I do think it’s nicer than Boost but WAY more expensive to go ad free.
Yer I tried boost didn’t like it because ads that’s one of the reasons I moved away from reddit
I paid to get rid of ads both when it was a Reddit app and now when it turned into a Lemmy app. It’s very nice.
I’m all for paying developers when the product is good. Boost was recommended to me by someone I trust, and I believe the controversial permissions were addressed by the developer saying it was boiler plate stuff for the ad service they were using, so I have no problems recommending it at the price they’re offering for ad free
Just block the ads with a DNS blocker, like NextDNS.
I’m using Thunder and it’s perfect for me
Jupp. It is in active development and open source so you can participate.
Customizable and has all the features I need. Voting, favorite, replay and you can easily switch between multiple accounts.
I like eternity personally.
It is nice but development seems to finally have stopped. That said, right now it works perfectly fine. Just once Lemmy servers undergo major changes it might not anymore.
I switched from liftoff to eternity because dev of liftoff stopped, it seems I’m the curse that kills whatever app I decide to use 😂
I switched to raccoon from eternity due to eternity not being updated anymore.
Seems dead unfortunately. I loved it too.
Another vote for Voyager here.
I really like Connect. Not sure if it’s “the best” but it’s free and does everything I need it to.
In always surprised that Connect isn’t more popular. I use it daily and it’s been a pretty great experience so far.
Voyager or thunder
Voyager on fdroid gives 404 when trying to download
Edit; working now
I like Summit. Don’t like the permissions that Sync and Boost require. Connect is OK.
Summit rocks. Great app and a great dev as well. They’re very active and quick on bug fixes and feature requests.
Summit is the best.
After careful consideration of 5 seconds I have decided to go with sync ty you all
Connect
Voyager and Summit. End of story.
So which one is the best?
I tend to use Summit 90% of the time.
Cool cool 👍
Jerboa.
Voyager
Raccoon 👍🏼 & Voyager 🙌🏼
