MODERATORS
Blorp dev here. Let me know if you need anything!
I use boost, to me it was the best reddit client and when it came to lemmy all others felt incomplete so I jumped over ASAP and I haven't missed anything.
Jerboa looks pretty good, even though a little underfeatured
blorp is good, the developer is on here and its updated frequently
Voyager is good.
Sync is really good, but the dev has abandoned it.
Yeah in my opinion sync is the best but bound to break eventually. Maybe revanced can keep it alive
Imo Thunder has the best design out of every app I tested, but the development is slow. Iirc some moderation actions are still not available.
I then switched to Summit after the dev open sourced it a few years ago. The dev is very active and friendly.
I've been enjoying Voyager
Firefox.
I've been using !summit@lemmy.world for a year now. Very happy with it.
Doesn't seem to like piefed though but I don't like piefed either so, eh.
Works fine with piefed for me! Also side note why don't you like piefed?
Mainly because of the default web interface. I tried having an account and it was immediately annoying and counter intuitive to try to navigate. Loading up the account page takes forever for some reason. And i couldn't get it to login at all on Summit.
I just find the default Lemmy more comfy.
Where did you get it? It's not on f-droid
Google Play and Obtanium/GitHub links on there.
It is open source, but dev has had issues with F-droid's approval process last I checked. Not a deal breaker for me.
Summit is heads above the other clients for me. Dev has added a bunch of feature requests from me, so that certainly helps. Steady development of the app and they respond to everyone quickly on here with questions/comments.
I've had luck with Piefed on it when .world was having uptime issues.
Found out there is the Atkinson font available, neat.
It looks like that's what I've been using. No wonder I find it so pleasing to read even without my glasses.
I can't stop using Eternity. Its just so lightweight and does everything I need. I come from Infinity, when I was on Reddit (fuck spez). Yes, I'm aware it hasn't been updated in nearly 2 years. To each their own. 🤷♂️
I use Eternity, too. I tried lots of options, and liked it the best.
Sameee, don't plan to switch away bcus haven't found client of both (reddit|lemmy) even if separate apps for each . Hope for dev activity again some day 🙏
I use Ironfox (Firefox) to access the mobile website of piefed.social, zero need for another app at all.
This was also the case when I used Lemmy via shitjustworks.
Thunder's really good, I'd just stick with that.

I've been using Boost, Blorp and Voyager, but I also haven't tried the other apps in a long time. I'm used to these and they do almost everything I need so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How can I make Blorp so incredibly good that you don't have to juggle multiple clients? Unless you enjoy juggling clients, in which case more power to ya.
I use Boost primarily, and I'm playing around with the other two for Piefed support.
~~The Blorp dev is active on here if you want to request features you are looking for~~

I'm sorry, I misunderstood, you are the dev 😅
I'll put together a list of my top priorities and share them at some point. Thank you for actively looking for feedback!
Sorry I kinda chaotically respond to everyone and sometimes I mix up someone who has already left feedback. I forget where you left your feedback, but just make sure it’s in GitHub (if it’s not already) and it’s much more likely to get addressed. I’m going to try and burn through the entire backlog of issues this month.
I highly recommend Jerboa. It's made by the Lemmy devs and is available on F-droid/GitHub so I don't have to use the play store. Currently typing this from the app.
I used Sync (first for Reddit, then for Lemmy), but the dev's been AWOL for a lot longer than normal so it's pretty broken at this point.
Tried Connect next, and it was alright.
Currently using Voyager and I'm pretty happy with it. It's gotten me back to the old Sync customizations I used to have.
Came here to recommend Sync. I haven't really noticed anything broken
I really like Mlem on iOS! Using it now actually
Same! I’m shocked it’s free considering how high quality it is
"Best" is subjective, "good" is objective. And Voyager is objectively good. That's what I use.
Honorable mention: Jerboa. Used it for a while, but there was a period of Lemmy updating whereas Jerboa did not, so it stopped working. During that time I switched to Voyager. I hear Jerboa is OK again now.
I get this weird bug on voyager where, on the home screen, if I pull up from the bottom it creates black space. This makes it hard to use, though if I was more graceful perhaps I wouldn't do it accidentally so often.
I have a similar bug. It happens if I enter typing mode (such as when writing this comment). It causes the app to have black dead space around it. But I've gotten used to it.
I've been using boost and love it
Hi from Interstellar on Android
Second !interstellar@kbin.earth ! I mostly use it due to it's support for other protocols beyond Lemmy, like Mbin
E: Added link
my favorite mobile client is firefox
I used connect for a few months, but it had a variety of little issues that made me want to branch out. Currently running Summit, and it does pretty much everything I could want it to.
Jerboa works pretty good
