I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.
P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.
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
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.
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.
Yeah. As much as I like Sync, I’m envious of aeharding’s constant improvements to Voyager.
yep. i lived Avelon until development stopped, and Voyager passed it up. the continued development is the long term play. my only problem with voyager is it doesnt let you come back to where you left off. i leave the app to google up something before i post it and when i go to return the post has vanished.
i want non-volatile Voyager.
I feel like Sync doesn’t really need an update? It seems complete to me.
Sync has had serious issues in the past such as an easily triggered, reproducible, guaranteed crash on open, with the dev not putting out a fix for months. This neglect goes back several years, to back when Sync was a Reddit client. Most infamously he disappeared for over a year when his UI refresh wasn’t well received.
The app is great (I’m only on Boost due to user tags requiring a paid subscription in Sync), but his response time to issues is glacial. And it doesn’t help that it’s by far the most expensive client if you want it ad-free, and features that used to be free now require an even more expensive subscription to use on top of that.
I find Sync more responsive.
I like cranking the size of some text
I’m on iOS and Voyager has many customizations and the ability to change text sizes. I’ve never noticed any issues with responsiveness.
Is this another one of those “well I was on Android and used sync vs well I was iOS and used AlienBlue / Apollo ” comments? Perhaps androids Voyager not as good as the iOS version? I guess it depends on what OP is using for mobile.
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.)
Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.
No one here using Jerboa??
I started using thunder when I got my current phone, which I do prefer but I liked Jerboa too.
I use it. Had tried Voyager for a day or so, but came back to Jerboa.
I’m curious about Eternity, since I am a Infinity user. Haven’t tried it yet.
I tried a bunch but jerboa has been constantly good for me :)
👍🏼
Welp, I’m on voyager too lol
😎
The search is powerful!
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.
Jerboa is great. Free and made by the head Lemmy Dev. Never tried others
Maybe I should try Jerboa too.
Voyager is my favorite, but mlem is a close second for me
Glad to hear that you like Voyager too. 🤗
Tried all, ended up using Summit.
Same. Summit is amazing and since starting to use it a year ago I haven’t even wanted to try anything else again.
And for reference I used to use baconreader for a decade over on Reddit. Summit has a similar vibe for me.
Summit is a wonderful app, and the dev is super helpful. Can’t recommend Summit enough.

I use both Voyager and Eternity.
👍🏼
i’m on boost. i’ve tried quite a few options, but even with the ads, boost just feels like home.
Eternity for Lemmy
Many of them recommend this client too.
That’s my client of choice
Connect has works well for me. Reminds me of reddit is fun which was my go to
👍🏼
Liking Voyager, after trying a few unsuccessfully. This is the first one that rivals the old Reddit Is Fun for me
