I used sync for Lemmy and Reddit, but switched to eternity like 6 months ago.

Very similar layout options & oled black night mode.

Doesn't work: Spoilers Gifs & Gboard gif search

Everything else is fine.

Boost. Only problem I have is videos often only play in thumbnail and load infinitely when clicked on. Not that important for me though.

With Jerboa and Voyager there were a lot of small problems that just made the experience worse.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

I've never used an app for Lemmy just the mobile browser.

[–] TisI@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Having tried almost all apps for Lemmy, Summit is the best. Not only is it feature rich, it also let's me view some content from instances that don't load for me on other clients. And this apparently only happens on Lemmy.zip.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

Jerboa. I find the UI very nice. Right around amount of info and density (i hate excessive padding), fully customizable colors, not 1 glitch

I had to check, but voyager, evidently.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Are you me? This is exactly what I needed too because I was on Sync for years now and had no idea development stopped. Started to notice a lot of small issues here and there with it and finally saw there's been no updates on almost 2 years.

I tried Voyager and I liked the gestures for votes and being able to customize things pretty well. Also trying out Boost right now and I like how familiar it is to me since I used it on Reddit, but now I'm missing the gestures.

[–] HatchetHaro@pawb.social 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I use Boost. Not open-source, but the ads are non-intrusive to me and it just feels like home.

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago

I just paid the $5 or whatever. Felt right to support the dev after using it on reddit for so long

I'm using Jerboa, even though I saw what Blorp is like, and I'm preparing g to switch (just used to Jerboa UI)

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 6 points 11 hours ago

Firefox on mobile.

I have you voted +5 right now actually (including this).

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

If you want to break peoples profiles, Voyager is the way!

+1 for Voyager from me

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 26 points 20 hours ago

Top voted this is what I'm going with

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Voyager but the lack of the language field is not great. Posting with Voyager gets you less reach

Voyager, but I wish I could see other people's modlogs, they sound funny

[–] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I’d never looked at mine before now, apparently I’ve been banned from a couple communities for being an “anti-ai troll”, presumably for downvoting something at some point.

[–] c0dezer0@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago

Theoretically you shouldn't be banned for things that happen outside a community unless it's very severely.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 13 hours ago

Interstellar and Voyager

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Eternity. I didn't like Voyager, too many bells and whistles.

Eternity is pretty simple, no user avatars, allows faster reading of actual content.

I like reading other peoples perspectives her, and Eternity does not seem to be recieving regular bug-fixes. So many Voyager Enjoyers that I may give it another try.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

A fellow Eternity user!!

I wonder if there is a third.

Eternity isn't totally dead but it also was never truly alive (in a dev sense), but I love the dev(s), they help me waste many hours.

I still love it despite it never implementing a lot of basics. Especially the UI, and how ez it is to share links (post or main link from the post) or save pics to a folder.

It's the only lemmy app I have installed on my phone but tbh I usually only come here from firefox on a proper computer.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Maiq@piefed.social 37 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Summit and Interstellar are my two favorite's right now.

[–] Vegan_Joe@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I second Summit.

I still have Sync because I transitioned with it from Reddit, but Summit is now my daily driver.

Boost (Android)

It was the best app for Reddit before. Now it's the best app for Lemmy.

[–] shadshack@feddit.online 1 points 4 hours ago

Ditto Boost. I have accounts on Lemmy and PieFed both on the same app.

[–] Argyle13@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Boost as well, used Sync but now it is a mess

I use the Website, on my computer. I don't use Lemmy (and use no other social at all) on the phone.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

ironfox, or fennec. on mobile.
