I tried a bunch and settled on Voyager. I also liked Thunder.

Summit wins out

I'm quite happy with Thunder

Voyager for me. The compact mode is fairly compact, with small enough thumbnails that it can feel text-first. The few others that support piefed have had huge images with no easy way to fix that.

I like Boost.

Last time I said this, I got shunned for recommending a closed-source app. I generally try to stick to open-source, but Boost has a good UI, works well, and bugs are fixed quickly.

Browser

Boost

Voyager for me.

Thunder is also good.

After much complaining about sync's descent into mediocre abandonware, i finally switched to Summit - i still miss sync's ui/ux - but its nice being able to use a non buggy product

I'm using Voyager and happy with it. Of course, now. I need to trial these listed by others.

Voyager

I'm on voyager and it does the job. I miss sync though.

Voyager.

Hey a fellow Jerboa user! I'm also in the Jerboa camp, just because it's so simple. I'll use it to load my subscriptions if I'm waiting at a dentist or something.

Blorp for me

Am I the only one using Connect?

Am I out of touch?

No, it's the lemmings who are wrong.

Sync. But I'm an old guy with habits that are hard to change

Sync, until it dies.

I also use Jerboa and I have never tried anything else. It's great imo but lacking in the more interesting features I have seen from other clients. User tagging is super cool

Boost is the best for me!

Summit for me. I've tried most of the others mentioned so far but always stick to summit.

I used to use Boost for Reddit back then and switched over to Boost for Lemmy initially. Nowadays I use Voyager as the UI is better IMO.

Jerboa

Boost and Voyager for me.

We asked about this in our census and got the following results:

Sync for Lemmy

I use browser, never really had a reason to switch

Interstellar

Most of the time, sync, because I prefer my scrolling and reading on a tablet, and having dual columns that are easy to parse is more important than most other factors.

Boost is my backup for the same reason, since so far all the otherwise great lemmy first apps don't do dual column well, when they do it at all.

That being said, check out connect, summit, and thunder. All damn fine apps overall

I use Connect and haven't had any complaints.

Connect. It felt most like RIF, so I stuck with it

I tried Voyager and Interstellar but Blorp for whatever reason was the only one with a UI that felt right to me.

As a primarily iPhone user, I get a thrill using Voyager on my Android phone. It's basically an Apollo clone, and Apollo was iOS only (for Reddit). IIRC Voyager is based on its released source code. The Apollo dev was never gonna code for Android, but he didn't stop others from doing so, and they did. I also like the client. On iOS, I use it for my Piefed account because of its support for that branch (fork?) of Lemmy. On iOS for this account, I use Mlem, which I believe is iOS only.

I'm happy with Voyager on Android, but I'm certainly open to alternatives. I want to keep one app that can switch between the two, so it needs Lemmy and Piefed support. I also like the comfortable interface with previews, the ability to blur/hide NSFW on a toggle (like if I'm out in public vs at home), and swipe controls (upvote, downvote, reply, and save). Easy access to blocking is also important (e.g. on this account I browse /all).

I'm using Voyager because Star Trek.

Works very well except for one problem, it doesn't remember the last thread or community I was on I switch apps and android kills in background.

It's particularly annoying when I follow a link and when I come back to comment on it Voyager is back on Home and the thread lost forever.

Or when I'm in the middle to writing a comment but want to quickly fact check something but when I come back I get a message saying that my comment was saved, nice. But still can't go back to the thread I was to finish it.

Apart from that I'm satisfied with it.

I'm using boost now but I miss the swipe to upvote feature I used to have on sync. Any recommendations? That swipe feature was great and made it so easy to throw a vote out there.

Boost

boost and voyager

Boost

Jerboa was the smallest one I could find on F-Droid. The lack of post search sucksssss but that's probably a sign that I should get home and onto my computer regardless.

I really like Raccoon, Summit, and Connect a lot. I switch around between them just for shits and giggles; they're all great apps with cool, active developers. I'm currently writing this with Raccoon.

My web browser lol

Boost and Connect are my favorites for Lemmy.

Irreally really like you Voyager. It's inspired by Reddit Sync, the GOAT

Voyager, only because I'm used to it and cbf swapping.

If RiF was made for Lemmy, I'd be using that.

I've been using Boost simply because it's what I used to use for reddit and it does what I want

Still using the browser! Works just fine.

Sync still works great and is tighter than basically everything else. The other apps have made MONSTROUS strides in the past couple years, but I still have sync set up pretty close to how I want it. But, what I really truly want is Baconreader for fediverse.

Voyager is all I've ever used to access Lemmy.
