I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.

P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.

i'm on boost. i've tried quite a few options, but even with the ads, boost just feels like home.

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Glad to hear you’re happy with boost, mate.

Mlem looks the best but it feels choppy as hell. So I’m using voyager instead still quite good and runs smooth.

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, that’s exactly how I feel. The threads look so distracting.

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

In use Voyager for my daily driver here on this account and Jerboa for my NSFW account.

I love Voyager for the "hide read posts" and the some of the sitting and layout stuff. I like Jerboa for the erections!

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, the ‘hide read post’ feature really helps me to focus on particular reply that I want to read. 🔥

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

Mlem on ios as it has the best ui made with swift.

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

But my head feels dizzy after using it. 🥲

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

How does it make you feel dizzy?

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

The thread on the feed. Maybe just not suited to me.

[-] limitsomething@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago

Thunder ... I currently use it Eternity if you're used to infinity for reddit

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Thanks for the suggestion, mate.

[-] 2kool4idkwhat@lemdro.id 6 points 11 hours ago

I just use Jerboa since that was the most mature app when the Reddit drama happened. I haven't tried other clients because it's Good Enough™ for me

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Good for you, mate.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Liking Voyager, after trying a few unsuccessfully. This is the first one that rivals the old Reddit Is Fun for me

Voyager is the best for me. Used Apollo for Reddit for years on my iPhone, so Voyager on Android just feels familiar and comfortable. Like sleeping in your own bed.

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 9 hours ago

iOS design language in an Android app creeps me out tbh

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

I’m using iOS but still feel comfortable to use Voyager in my iPhone.

If you where a RIF user, go with boost. It's as close to rif as it gets. Since the rif dev went to that ban happy tildes site.

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

I loved Reddit Is Fun. I've been using Connect for Lemmy because it seemed very similar to me. I wonder if I should try boost out.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

When I started using lemmy I just grabbed every app for it and tried them all. Boost is the closest I was able to find, and it has a ton of options to get it looking and feeling like RIF. The others were good, but just different. I liked RIF because of how simplistic it was, boost thankfully gives that same simplistic feel.

[-] icosahedron@ttrpg.network 4 points 18 hours ago

if ios, then Arctic for sure. it's the only one that feels as smooth as apollo did, has some excellent customizability, and is just as feature rich as the more popular clients

[-] Fuad@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

Noted with thanks.

I really enjoy Sync.

I was using Voyager until Sync got ported over to Lemmy. Voyager is great, but I find Sync more responsive. I also really appreciate Sync's appearance customization. I'm old, so I like cranking the size of some text.

I think there's an ad supported version of Sync if you want to try it. I paid the CDN$10 or whatever it cost on release. It's worth it to me.

[-] tja@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

I also really like sync. I also paid for the ad free version.

But there are still some issues and the dev is, again, inactive.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah. As much as I like Sync, I'm envious of aeharding's constant improvements to Voyager.

Big +1 for Sync.

I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.

It's an awesome app. Best app purchase I've ever made. (There is a free version too.)

Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.

Using Eternity and very happy with it, just as I was when it was Infinity for Reddit.

Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support

It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn't consume content (by URL)

I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest

Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty

Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.
