try voyager, if it's slow use boost
post
I'm liking Summit quite a bit
I used RiF (Reddit is Fun) in the before times. When that got shut down I switched to Lemmy and used Jerboa. I can't remember why (maybe something broke) but I switched to Voyager and have been quite happy. I've found out "there's an option for that" multiple times when there was a particular feature I didn't like.
Fuck Spez
Thanks for the recommendations!
I've been using connect since I switched from reddit to Lemmy some 5 odd years ago or so, and the experience has been quite underwhelming with regular bugs coming and going and I'm really kinda done with it. I'll try voyager!
I'm probably the only neanderthal left using Sync. I
No I'm over here, been using Sync after I moved here with the initial third party client ban
There's a whole 2 of us
Summit is a very close experience to Sync! Definitely give it a try if Sync stops working for you.
I was using Sync for a good long while but I cut over to Summit. I couldn't get over the fact that I was paying a yearly subscription for Sync but I hadn't seen an update in 10 months while features were broken. Community posts with questions in the Sync community went unanswered.
If the dev ever ended up resurfacing, it might be worth using, but there are now plenty of non subscription based Lemmy apps to choose from. I'm not going to pay $17 a year for abandonware.

In addition to gathering feedback, I would also strongly recommend trying multiple clients to find one that suits your preferences. It is a relatively friction-free experience.
This is very subjective. What I did?
Install ALL THE CLIENTS, log in to each. Use them for a bit, try out the features you think you'll be doing the most. Feel out what each of them do best. Keep the one(s) you like best. ๐
Best of luck!
I just use the web version, works best for me. That being said, I do like Voyager and Jerboa.
Blorp! Blorp! Blorp!
(No but seriously there is an app called Blorp that I enjoy, can be found on F-Droid)
Mobile or desktop, my preferred interface is mlmym (aka old.lemmy). Unfortunately .ml doesn't host it, I left .ml partially for that reason (and partially for others) to move to lemmy.today which has old.lemmy.today. As a 10+ year old.reddit user I find the old Reddit interface ideal, and mlmym is very faithful at recreating it (and actually fits it better on mobile than real old.reddit).
Surprised that I haven't seen it posted already, but connect feels like joey for reddit. Tried the other app people are talking about, but at least for me, connect feels the most intuitive.
i use Summit, it's good, are others better ? no idea and haven't needed to change because Summit's good
I used Jerboa way back when it was the only option.
Have a paid copy of Boost which is also good.
It's been too long since I used any reddit app to really compare, I just don't remember them well enough. However, I did use them regularly on Android, so maybe they influenced my preferences? Personally, I really like Blorp. It just feels WAYYYY smoother and less cluttered than all the other ones.
I vote for Fennec. Though I haven't used any Reddit clients, so I don't know if it's similar.
