I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

I’m a bit sad that my favorite (Infinity/Eternity) isn’t that high up. Loved it since my Reddit days. Tried different clients: Lemmy, thunder, liftoff, sync,… still like this the most!

I used Infinity for a while on Reddit, it’s pretty cool!
I was using Boost on reddit, but their Lemmy version isn’t available yet. Read about Eternity. Thus far I have no complaints. It works.
I’m loving it. Just to confirm: The last update was three weeks ago, right? I hope the dev continuous on working this.
Wasn’t Infinity not available until not long ago?
Yeah, Eternity (the Infinity fork for Lemmy) is comparably new.
I’ve really been enjoying it.
Hell yeah, 30% sync users. I’ve always thought Sync was the best reddit client, and now it’s the best Lemmy client.
I use Connect. I like it. Seems to do what I need and I’ve used the customize settings to set font colors, etc.
I’ll definitely be checking out Boost when the dev gets it set up. He’s a one man show and tries hard to get things running 100% before releasing updates, so, I’m guessing a new app might take longer.
Eternity is one my favorite client
I’ve noticed that all the Sync users are polite and never bash any other Lemmy client. Maybe because they know that we have a choice and they do too. I’ve got money to spare I will spend it on arguably the best app for Lemmy . You guys can use your FOSS . I never complained . Why are you??? Enjoy your clients. There are many. We have got an array of choices. That’s awesome. Lemmy wins.

Infinity for lemmy
Infinity for Lemmy goes by Eternity now
really? I have to update it then. Thanks
It might be a different app in the entirety. I’m not entirely sure
Check out the community here:
yes, apparently it’s been renamed as you said. post
I use Sync for now, but full disclosure I am Beyond 's developer and as soon as it becomes more stable and with more features I will be making the switch 😁
That’s a pretty nice endorsement for sync though, BTW can you embed polls into your app (assuming there’s an API for straw poll)?
That would be pretty cool, I will add to the community ideas list and look into it when I can, thanks!
Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they’re taking a break though and I just need to be patient
Same here. I’ve moved to Avelon which I strongly recommend you trying out. It’s legit.
Once memmy starts getting updates again I may switch back but gotta say, Avelon may have me hooked.
I’m using Memmy too, although the app sometimes repeat post reply 5 times and I had to delete the other 4. I still use Memmy anyway and don’t mind waiting till this gets fixed.

My only problem with lemmy is the lack of a client. Right now, for me, memmy and voyager are the least worst, but they’re pretty bad.
I’m not even asking for an Apollo out of the gate. I’d settle for an Alien Blue. And I have no problem paying for it, either. I was an Apollo ne plus ultra user, or whatever it was called.
From an information architecture perspective, it really seems like reddit and lemmy might be close enough that a middle layer could be written that would make it easier to port user-facing apps from one api to the other. There’s obviously be some differences, but if feasible it might accelerate development of multiple client options at once.
For the record, I’ve tried memmy, voyager, mlem, lemmios, liftoff, and I am presently going to try bean. That’s approximately the order of how useable I’ve found them, but they each have their own annoyances. I don’t own an android device, but I hope the options are better over there.
In any case, I became a heavy reddit user only after Alien Blue came out. I became a very heavy user after Apollo came out. I left reddit the day external clients became unavailable.
I think lemmy has enormous potential, but the UX needs to be made easier if we’re to really make a dent in reddit usership and get the level of posts, comments, and active communities they have there.
I also suspect that the backend is going to need a better approach for handling the negative consequences of a large influx of users. I’m not talking about load - I’m talking about community management. Back in the day (by which I mean the early 90s) there was an email blacklist. Admins of important nodes in the email distribution network had a shared list of domains that had unsecured servers, and would update it based on where they saw the (then relatively recent phenomenon of) spam coming from.
I’m really interested in how the information flow network of the fediverse evolves, if it continues to grow. Are we going to find a network with community structure, with clumps of mutually federated instances that have few if any connections between them? If so, clients will have to have solid account creation and management, and the admin tools will need to be sophisticated.
Yes, try Avelon OP! It’s really good. The UI is so smooth. Scrolling. And it has the ability to hide bars on scroll. It seems I’m the only one who cares about this feature haha but to me it makes content look much better without the navigation bars constantly being on display.
I’m using Memmy too, although the app sometimes repeat post reply 5 times and I had to delete the other 4. I still use Memmy anyway and don’t mind waiting till this gets fixed.
Love Voyager’s UI.
I’m trying it right now in my smartphone! The design looks better than Jerboa, now I’m testing intuitiveness and ease of use
t-thanks
Jerboa. Came up when I was searching on F-Droid
It’s FOSS or it’s loss.
For me when I was looking for an Android client via https://join-lemmy.org/apps .
I love whoever answered: “I use a web browser like a Luddite” 🤣🤣
LemmyUI is great. I’ve using it until recently I settled on using Eternity.
Yeah I saw that too!
theres so many lemmy clients i guess thats one of the benefits of lemmy being licensed under agpl and has a free api
Let’s see which one will rule them all after a while.
Would love to see an, at least, 3-way struggle for dominance. Keeps them scrappy and competing for our attention :D
I’m trying Voyager but how do you switch to only subscribed communities?
I’ll go for boost now. I keep back and forth between boost, sync and eternity but the end I feel home with boost.
I hope jerboa (OG client) will be better.
