Voyager!

It's wild just how many apps there are for Lemmy, ha

Jerboah??

Iirc Sync and Boost are the only proprietary clients right now, so everything else is good. I'm using Eternity right now, it's on f droid

Ads in the feed now? Yikes, that's reason enough for me to switch before I'm forced to update it.

The dev has to do what they have to do to feed themselves. If you really like the app, deal with the ads or pay for the app. I personally can't deal with ads so I'm on Eternity for Lemmy (through the fdroid store)

Infinity is great

Voyager

Also on f-droid

connect is never mentioned enough in threads like these

Good god I thought that was my client for a moment. Almost uninstalled before realising it was an image.

Phew

I use Boost and I like it. But I gave the dev the few bucks for ad-free.

If there's a malicious ad, report it to the dev. I'm pretty sure they can ban it.

sync does not have ads for me as of now :)

What’s your absolute must needs? I’m on iOS but Voyager (android as well) has been my top choice for a while now even beating out apps I’ve paid lifetime subscriptions for because the developers disappeared or have been extremely quiet. I like Thunder a lot too. It’s missing key features I like in Voyager but I love its design and how smooth it is.

Thunder! It is

• FOSS
• Cross-platform (Android/iOS and you can even build for desktop or web)
• Has some neat features that I haven't seen in other clients, like a really customizable FAB, material you theming, multiple anonymous instances, ping time and version info for instances, supports 0.19 including new features like instance blocking, an advanced share that can create a microblog style image to share posts
• Very good accessibility
• and lots more.

Coming from Relay for Reddit, I feel very at home in Thunder!

I use Voyager. It's pretty good.

I'm not so sure about clients that are specifically focused on security and privacy, however my general FOSS mobile app suggestions would be Voyager for a polished UX, or Eternity for a more native Android experience.

Both are available on GitHub and F-Droid

Thunder

i bought boost the first day because i loved boost for reddit but, honestly, i'm loving eternity even more these days.

it's on neo store/fdroid and the repo is here: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity

I've used Boost since launch and never once seen something like that happen

Personally I like Connect even though it's not FOSS because it's layout is similar to RiF.
