Sadly I think I’m finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn’t maintained.
FYI yall might be interested in the apps community !lemmyapps@lemmy.world
I bounce between Voyager and Arctic. On iOS. Voyager on Android.
I’m locked in to Jerboa. Not the most robust, and it doesn’t show me notifications for mentions or DMs, but it has the perfect layout and aesthetic I want after a decade of using RIF.
I was using Liftoff before it depreciated to the point of non-functionality.
Boost
Apollo, er, Voyager.
I’m on an iPhone and using voyager at the moment but not really a fan. Maybe I just haven’t learned how to use it. Any suggestions?
Turn on compact posts and it feels like Apollo
Spend a few minutes adjusting the view, setting the theme and then it is swipe for everything. Super easy.
Always thumbnail view for me, I couldn’t imagine anything else.
I was using Boost but noticed some missing features, so I switched to Raccoon. I like it so far
I’m pretty happy with Voyager. It’s not perfect but it’s good
Thunder by all means
I’m still pretty new and I’ve only tried one mobile client so far. I’m pretty fond of Mlem. It seems to do what I need it to and it’s pretty intuitive for me. Although it only works on iOS so that might not be useful for you depending on your mobile situation.
I have been enjoying Raccoon though development might have slowed down after a previous dev. left sometime back.
Boost is a good alternative.
Summit is peak Lemmy!
Awesome app, awesomer dev. If it doesn’t do what you want, talk to them and they’ll probably do it.
Not FOSS, but free and no ads.
Would not be enjoying Lemmy near as much without it thanks to all the great features like multi-community support and endless customization.
I’ve been using boost since that’s what I used for reddit. Just not been vibing with the lemmy version as much for some reason.
Decided to give summit a go after reading some comments here, and while I’ve only had the app for an hour or two I’m really happy with it so far
I’m glad that was helpful!
It looked great and I really wanted to stick with the dev on it once they originally announced they were going to make a Lemmy version, but even after a couple months going between it and some other apps, while it looked much the same as Boost for Reddit, it just didn’t feel the same.
Summit holds practically the same quality as Sync for Reddit had… If not more at this point.
And yeah, the dev is great and very communicative, he must love his own project to be so active regarding it, and it makes sense I have tried the app since its conception and it has greatly improved.
I don’t want to bash other Lemmy clients… But I have tried nearly all of them and Summit always speaks “smoother” for me.
I agree, they definitely have to be passionate about it, and I feel it really shows. Truly shocked it never seems as popular as some others. I’ve given a number of bug reports and feedback/suggestions and they’ve all been addressed shockingly quick, and it’s fun to think this or that bit is there just because I agreed nicely. 😇
Yeah I get it, it definitely is not a competition, but if it is for the sake of sharing the love then yeah I agree that this client requires a higher user base 😁
I switched from Sync to Summit when I finally gave up on the sync dev ever doing anything more. Summit has frequent updates and fills the same spot for me as Sync, which is important to me as I used sync with reddit for a long time.
Yeah, it is not Sync, but it is just as good, and we can work with the dev to make it even better than what Sync was!
Second Summit.
I use Eternity. AFAIK it doesn’t have ads and it’s pretty much what I’m looking for. I tried others but they had ads and I couldn’t tolerate that.
I’m enjoying Connect
Right now, it’s Thunder.
