I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people's conclusions are thus far.

I'm surprised by how much of a big deal apps are for the users. I would have kept Jerboa if it was more stable. I got Connect for no specific reason and don't really see a reason to try anything else... I was still using old reddit and an app called Slide, so I guess I'm some removed user or something. Happy that those apps brings more users tho.

you might want to know that slide is being ported to lemmy

I bounce between all the ad free apps, but please don't forget to donate to your instance admins if they have a link set up. Especially if you paid to remove ads. Y'all got them deep pockets, show some love.

Waiting for Apollo to retool themselves and come to Lemmy. That would truly hurt Reddit.

I'm using Infinity at the moment, since it is what I have used with Reddit until the API changes. I've always loved Infinity's swipe actions, and I haven't encountered any serious bugs so far. I'm gonna try and help contribute back to the app when I can.

Jerboa is on f-droid, which makes life easier for me

Finally, I got around to downloading Sync, and I'm impressed. I'm still going to use Infinity as my main access to Lemmy, but all my other programs were uninstalled, and Sync is now backing up Infinity.

BTW, not saying do it but to those complaining about ads, adguard.dns.com or quad9 dns are both free.

Sync is more polished, but Infinity has a much better layout on the Galaxy Fold. I'm using Infinity for now, but hoping it improves quickly.

Neither is as good as Reddit Is Fun for foldables, unfortunately. That had a perfect interface IMO. Much better than Apollo too.

One thing that really bothers me on Infinity is that I see no way to show the parent of a comment that I am looking at. It only times you the option to show all other comments, but not the parent specifically.

I loved infinity for reddit. Did I miss a memo or something, I thought he decided to try to make the reddit client financially sustainable?

[–] SandboxScience@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Someone decided to develop a fork. Posting from it right now. You can download it here

Go here. Not perfect, yet. But feels like home.

[–] corruptmagician@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I'm using connect, it's simple and just works. It was rough when I first came over but had been fine for a while now. I'm assuming they worked out some of the bugs they had at the beginning.

[–] gunnm@monero.town 8 points 1 year ago

Sync and Voyager.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've used sync for almost ten years and am all in on it until something better comes along. Thunder is very nice too, but it's not sync.

Sync > Thunder > Jeroba

Edit: I'm keeping the spelling lol

[–] Volt@pawb.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeroba

Sounds like a planet housing some skywalker kid

I'm new to Lemmy and using sync because it works for me. I was a relay for reddit user, but I quit reddit and this is a reasonable facsimile for me. I'm happy enough with this interface but time will tell.

For the time being I'm sticking with Voyager. Sync is a lil too pricey and Infinity doesn't quite feel finished it's Lemmy migration (was my fav reddit app)

I'm using Liftoff, but waiting for Boost.

I'm sticking with Connect. It works great.

Infinity! It was my go-to client for Reddit, and now it's my go-to client for Lemmy. Most basic things work. There are still some bugs lurking in the app, but it's still in Alpha so that's kinda expected.

The UI is really smooth and customizable, but I guess anyone who's ever used Infinity already knows this.

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

I used to mostly use connect and then infinity and voyager are out in the same day. Honestly, voyager feels really nice.

I have Sync and Jerboa, and I must say, Sync is polished and smooth and makes it more simple to use. I haven't tried the Infinity for Lemmy but I might test that one out, too.

[–] monobot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Jerboa is still the best one for me.
