Don't forget Connect! It's probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The "About Instance" function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.

It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he's cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that's worth.

It kept crashing randomly for me.

I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we're all Reddit refugees I presume).

I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn't the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn't very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn't appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.

I'd used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!

I've been flipping between Jerboa and liftoff. Unless I'm missing something Jerboa doesn't have the downvote arrow. Not that I ever downvote anyway. But besides that, I think I like the feel of Jerboa better.

Sort options seem better in liftoff though (again, unless I'm missing something in Jerboa).

I'll probably give infinity a try now because of this post.

Yea the only way to do it from Voyagers native app right now is to open the link in your browser. You can hit the share button on Voyager and send the post link to your browser.

This feature can still be added to native apps. RiF used to have a simple hold and save feature. I hope they add that feature soon. I imagine we aren't the only ones who noticed.

Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).

Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can't post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.

Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I'm not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I'm used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).

Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.

And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really "work" right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it's populated when I open it, versus Sync which can't make a connection.

How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I'm considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync's "remove ads" (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).

I wasn't very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I've been a long time infinity user. I can't give a fair comparison since I haven't given sync too much of a chance, but here's what I like about infinity:

  • FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
  • nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
  • multiple account support
  • dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
  • fairly stable

Rn the state of Infinity for Lemmy feels mostly complete (aside from a few expected bugs built from being a fork working with a totally different API), but besides that, the app is absolutely fire. I was a heavy IfR user in the past and it even convinced me to make an account (I was mostly a lurker) but when spez starting treating 3rd party devs like shit I gtfo there, just hoping that docille or another dev would have forked infinity and yet, here we are.

I can't remember why I skipped thunder, I think it's because it doesn't autoplay gifs without opening it.

Also, whenever I opened it I saw it connect to so many servers that it made me worried a bit (probably overthink it), but it's not the home screen itself because obviously liftoff for example shows the same and doesn't connect to the same servers thunder did.

Edit: maybe liftoff pull the content from my instance while thunder take it straight from the source?
