I use Eternity because I heavily used Infinity, the Reddit app that it's forked from

[-] Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 months ago

Eternity ftw

[-] Cosmocrat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 4 months ago

Eternity is great! Best UI in my opinion.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

There are a hundred little things that grind my gears with eternity though. Trying to work through them without switching for now.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 22 points 4 months ago

Jerboah is the oldest but best.

[-] Matt@lemdro.id 16 points 4 months ago

Thunder is my favorite with Voyager a close second.

[-] chevy9294@monero.town 1 points 4 months ago

Voyager is way more popular, but I don't like it's iOS-like UI, so I went with Thunder

[-] leanleft@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

voyager is easiest to use.
eternity is most customizable.
i use both.

[-] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 months ago

Just downloaded Eternity after using Jerboa for a while. This is so much better, even more so since I used Infinity for reddit.

[-] sintrenton@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

As some others, I use Jerboa. Tried a few others, but happy with it.

[-] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

My top choices:

  • Jerboa and Eternity are native Android apps (the first uses modern technologies like Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, the second one has a lot of Java code and the UI is made with XML layouts for activities/fragments);
  • Voyager is portable web app built with React in Typescript, with mobile flavours made using Ionic capacitor;
  • Thunder is a cross-platform app built with Flutter in Dart (like Liftoff and Lemmur were in their days);
  • there are other FOSS apps like Combustibile (native/Java+XML) or Muffed (Flutter)...

I just want one that opens the lemmy links properly when I click on them from within in posts. I have all links selected in open default apps.

[-] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That's an interesting point... Jerboa should handle Lemmy handles correctly in the form !element@host.

Also hyperlinks in the form of https://host/u/name (or https://host/c/name) are intercepted and opened in app.

I'm not its maintainer but I read its source code and IIRC those cases are handled...

Voyager is nice and gets updated frequently

[-] Brunette6256@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Ive only used jebora. Till I saw this one in a few posts. Kinda digging it. Its a tad more "modern" feeling. I guess. Thanks.

Summit is what I use.

[-] xiao@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Jerboa with Dracula theme of course.

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

Boost and Voyager

[-] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 6 points 4 months ago

I've settled on Thunder. The only downside is that they haven't implemented replying to direct messages yet, you can only view them but apart from that, it's good.

[-] Der_Fossler@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago

I like Eternity

[-] southernwolf@pawb.social 6 points 4 months ago

Voyager is absolutely fantastic, even as a PWA. Eternity is very competent too, especially if you are/were an Infinity for Reddit user.

[-] rambos@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

I dont know is Connect FOSS, but its amazing. I used to be on liftoff, but its not maintained anymore

[-] ChallengeApathy@infosec.pub 5 points 4 months ago

I just use Jerboa, functional and simple. I use Tusky for Mastodon for the same reason.

[-] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Connect is working great for my needs.

I've tried a few of them now and have settled on Eternity.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 4 months ago

Voyager has the nice feature to mark posts as read if you scroll past them. Has no way to create posts though.

[-] issue0315@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Sure it does. Click the dots in the upper right corner inside a community.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 4 months ago

Ah, thanks! Though not in aggregates.

[-] EpicVision@monero.town 3 points 4 months ago

I like Thunder and Eternity

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I was using Eternity, then switched to Summit but after learning that the GitHub repo was only to let people use obtainium (so no real source is available), switched back to Jerboa. Now that it has support for moderation tools, I don't think I need to make a switch atm.

[-] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Used to say liftoff but now Voyager is easily my favorite. Took some time getting used to but not bad at all.

[-] macattack@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I've jumped around a few mobile apps since I joined the fediverse, right now the one that checks the most boxes for me is Raccoon for Lemmy

[-] Delusion6903@discuss.online 2 points 4 months ago

I use Summit for now. I went through quite a few others but this one is a keeper.

[-] brenno@lemmy.brennoflavio.com.br 1 points 4 months ago

I like Thunder
