I'm using Voyager btw.

I tried a few, but Boost definitely does it for me. The look and feel is just right, and blocking communities and instances is only a click away. Really enjoying it

Thunder

I've used Connect the most. Also tried Jerboa and Voyager.

The reason is that I prefer a tiny list view with thumbnails on the right, just like old.reddit used to look and RiF could be made to look. I left Reddit due to this. When they cut off 3rd party apps like RiF, there was really no good way to view the site (in my opinion). Connect simply has the settings to make it look and behave exactly how I want it. I think Voyager can be made pretty close too. Jerboa was kind of buggy when I tried it.

I'm sure things have improved in all the apps during the last year, but I've stuck with Connect because it's both stable and flexible enough. It gets frequent updates and issues are fixed quickly. I reported a bug once and the developer got it fixed within hours.

I went through a couple when I first arrived, eventually landed on Connect and haven't had any reason to switch since. solid app for my browsing

I'm still using jerboa, I really like how simple it is.

but I haven't tried the others because when I joined there weren't really any others, so I'm not sure if I can call it my favorite?

jerboa is my favorite so far.

Eternity, I just wish it was updated more frequently.

Edit: I can't spell.

firefox

Jerboa. It's not the most functional but it reminds me of RIF the most.

I switch to Sync any time I need to use the search function

Thunder on Android is great.

Boost. It was my preferred Reddit client back before spez Elon-ed Reddit, so when the Lemmy version released, I purchased it to thank the dev for putting in the work to support Lemmy. It made my move to Lemmy super smooth.

I also use Voyager on occasion.

I've been using Sync since I made the switch after Reddit closed down 3rd party apps. I signed up to get Boost when they released it but never actually tried it out.

Tried almost all of them on iOS, but sticking with Arctic. The dev makes constant updates and responds to user feedback fast.

Voyager

For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.

Personally I've only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven't tried any others.

Voyager.

Used Sync, but it's not maintained. Liked Connect a lot. But, well, if the platform is open source, why not use an open source client too? Switched to Voyager and I've been very happy with it, actually.

I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn't been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.

If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It's a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn't cost me money. I think it looks better too but that's personal preference.

Boost

Launch that rocket!

I know it hasn't been updated for a while, but sync just works

Thunder and Jerboa atm.

BIG shout out to Thunder, a great app for both Android and iOS.

It's really nice to use, lots of nice features, I'm really happy with it.

Presently using Arctic on my phone. I browse on the web on my computer.

the one i wrote myself in rust

I’m on Voyager right now cause it’s like Apollo

Voyager PWA ftw

Eternity is simply the best, no questions asked.

Just WebUI. I prefer landscape mode, so this fits me well.

I hate typing in portrait mode, and landscape also fits eye vision better. Plus tabs work far better than switching apps. I wish it could be more desktop like. Really, KDE Plasma + Wayland + maliit-keyboard would be nice combo to have on a phone. That's what I use on my 2-in-1.

But anyway, Android could at least have proper taskbar. I mean, I have this in 3-button navigation, surely it could fit more icons for background apps (assuming it wouldn't kill optimize them):

Yes, the text, it's a Ulefone. There's far worse bugs.

Thunder!

Connect. Reminds me of RiF but also is just nicer to me. I tried a bunch of others at the beginning and stuck with Connect.

Sync (Pro) has been my go-to since my brother referred me to it 10 years ago for Reddit. As soon as it was available for Lemmy I grabbed it. There is a stigma surrounding it, of course, as ad-free is a premium/subscription feature. I truly don't give a shit. I spend my money on far worse things.

I mostly use Eternity.

Back when it was still working, I was using Sync for reddit so now that I'm on Lemmy, I've been using this. Haven't really tried other apps to be honest

Is this /c/asklemmyapps?

(just kidding, but the same question got asked 6 hours ago)

Eternity. It works, and I like the UI.

Connect it works great and the dev fixes any issues almost Immediately despite being free.

Sync without a doubt.

I mostly use sync, even though I am not in love with it. I also have connect. Which I think is foss. Been thinking about trying a new app to see if it hits better.

Here to represent Summit.

Positive development cycle, nice dev, and decent features on Android.

Jerboa for me

Artic is incredible
