What's your favorite Lemmy mobile client?
What's your favorite Lemmy mobile client?
Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.
Voyager
Thunder is my favourite. It's an android app and I got it from F-Droid (Izzy on Droids Repo). Clean and customizable interface, convenient features like for example multi account support. I would recommend it!
Too bad it can't handle private messages apart from reading; you can't even easily mark them as read. The interface is mostly excellent, though, and hey, I'm using it for this comment right now.
Its lovely indeed
Was trying out Voyager and Thunder yesterday. Thunder seems like the winner to me. Voyager's appearance isn't customizable enough for my tastes. I am not a gesture person (I prefer to turn swipe actions for posts and comments off entirely) and really need more tappable things for Voyager to work for me.
One thing I would like in thunder is the ability to hide more of the interface when replying to comments. I have large thumbs and in landscape mode (which I type in exclusively) the button bar takes up a lot of space that could be better used for seeing my typed text and the comment I'm replying to.
Currently I use Boost for Lemmy, I even bought it to support it. Sadly there was no update since last july 😐
Edit: typo
Has it needed an update? He was really good with the Reddit app. If there isn't an active problem with the app tho, it may not need updated. It's what I use, and I haven't had any issues with it
Edit: just to get onto my parent comment, he is working on an update for 0.19.9 features, posted 2 days ago. It seems there may have been some departure from regular updates, so hard to defend that, but seems like he's back on it?

Lazy dev
buyed
🤦♂️
Summit is peak Lemmy!
Awesome app, awesomer dev. If it doesn't do what you want, talk to them and they'll probably do it.
Not FOSS, but free and no ads.
Would not be enjoying Lemmy near as much without it thanks to all the great features like multi-community support and endless customization.
Summit holds practically the same quality as Sync for Reddit had... If not more at this point.
And yeah, the dev is great and very communicative, he must love his own project to be so active regarding it, and it makes sense I have tried the app since its conception and it has greatly improved.
I don't want to bash other Lemmy clients.... But I have tried nearly all of them and Summit always speaks "smoother" for me.
I agree, they definitely have to be passionate about it, and I feel it really shows. Truly shocked it never seems as popular as some others. I've given a number of bug reports and feedback/suggestions and they've all been addressed shockingly quick, and it's fun to think this or that bit is there just because I agreed nicely. 😇
Second Summit.
I've been using boost since that's what I used for reddit. Just not been vibing with the lemmy version as much for some reason.
Decided to give summit a go after reading some comments here, and while I've only had the app for an hour or two I'm really happy with it so far
I'm glad that was helpful!
It looked great and I really wanted to stick with the dev on it once they originally announced they were going to make a Lemmy version, but even after a couple months going between it and some other apps, while it looked much the same as Boost for Reddit, it just didn't feel the same.
I'm pretty happy with Voyager. It's not perfect but it's good
Boost
Connect is the best in Android
I started with it and like it. Never thought to compare other options. Too busy trying to find a browser and search engine I like
It's what I use, but I haven't completed a comprehensive survey. It's good enough I'm not looking for anything better.
Apollo, er, Voyager.
I use Eternity. AFAIK it doesn't have ads and it's pretty much what I'm looking for. I tried others but they had ads and I couldn't tolerate that.
I'm enjoying Connect
Me too.
Large pictures is one of the niceties, but it just works wery well too!
jerboa.
summit is the only other client that i tried and wasn't irritated by, but I've reverted back to jerboa after a few days. i like how streamlined jerboa is, and how it just works and always has.
it looks like the summit dev is working overtime getting everything in order and finishing several feature rollouts, so I'll check that out again in a couple of months.
I have a hard time believing Summit Dev has time for a day job! 😂
I feel every bug is patched same/next day and they keep constantly adding to the feature set. There have been a ton of upgrades this year, and it was perfect to me once they added custom user tags, so now everything is just a bonus.
I like all their decisions and they take feedback in what works for us, and at this point you can turn almost anything on/off so you get what you want.
the dev seems very dedicated, that's why I'll give summit another try later. quick links don't work yet, not all the setting toggles l are functionally tied yet to the features. there are also several tiny post/link/layout issues that I notice but don't have to deal with on jerboa.
I'm interested to see where summit goes, it is the only other lemmy client I used for more than a couple hours.
Tried Voyager and Jerboa. I prefer Voyager slightly over Jerboa
Right now, it's Thunder.
I have been enjoying Raccoon though development might have slowed down after a previous dev. left sometime back.
Boost is a good alternative.
Yep I ditched Sync a while ago for that reason. Currently on Eternity as it supports foldable devices pretty well.
FYI yall might be interested in the apps community !lemmyapps@lemmy.world
I'm still pretty new and I've only tried one mobile client so far. I'm pretty fond of Mlem. It seems to do what I need it to and it's pretty intuitive for me. Although it only works on iOS so that might not be useful for you depending on your mobile situation.
Artic. Easy to navigate, very good privacy.
I bounce between Voyager and Arctic. On iOS. Voyager on Android.
I was using Boost but noticed some missing features, so I switched to Raccoon. I like it so far
Been using Avelon since the start. Is there anything better?
Summit. I love the screenshot feature. I can pick content and share to my WA stories
I like Jerboa, mainly because it doesn't have ads.
Thunder by all means
I tried all. Finally settled in Eternity
I did so last week, when the amount of posts where Sync wouldn't show me the comments became annoying. I switched to Boost, and after some tinkering got it to a state where the UI was adequate for me.
I really like thunder but its slower than Voyager for me. So I jump between them now and again after an update.
I like Voyager
I'm currently using Mlem on my iPhone. It recently got updated to version 2.0 and this made it a much better experience than before. Plus it's a native app which I personally like.
If you liked RIF, you'll like Jerboa.
Booth has been good so far
I'm on an iPhone and using voyager at the moment but not really a fan. Maybe I just haven't learned how to use it. Any suggestions?
Turn on compact posts and it feels like Apollo
Spend a few minutes adjusting the view, setting the theme and then it is swipe for everything. Super easy.
Always thumbnail view for me, I couldn't imagine anything else.
I love from Sync to Voyager and I'm quite happy with it.
Web App on iPhone.
Until thunder adds the ability to DM people properly I can't really fully leave sync behind. The second thunder gets DMs working I'll be ditching sync as well.
Raccoon because raccoon.
On a more serious note. I have tried that one and Jerboa but I found Raccoon to be nicer, easier and more pleasant. Especially with all the colour costumizations.
Summit has been great so far after I recently changed apps.
