I am testing the following Lemmy Clients, and I don't know yet what is the best for me.

  • Summit
  • Blorp
  • Jerboa
  • Thunder

I do need your help to decide. Summit I didn't find it in f-droid, I installed it from the play store. Is Summit open source?

I've tried Jerboa, Connect and Voyager. By now these all have the options to customize the view exactly how I want it. (Dark mode, tiny list, thumbnails on the right.) I don't care about clients that can't do that.

Jerboa was kind of buggy. Maybe it's better now, but that's what made me switch.

Connect has a lot of options. The developer is active in the Lemmy community trying to catch up with the bugs that somehow creep into every update. It has the superior text editor of these and also its own tagging system.

Voyager, previously known as Wefwef, is basic and stable. Maybe too basic.

I'm currently using Voyager, but I sometimes still use Connect when I need to quote text from the post I'm replying to while writing. For instance if I need to quote two separate paragraphs or whatever. Can't do that easily in Voyager. Also when I want to embed pictures in a reply, then Connect is ever so slightly easier. Small differences.

If I were to recommend just one for a new user who doesn't care about customization and weird options, I'd have to say Voyager, even if I myself prefer Connect. Voyager is easy to use and it's stable.
