Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
I've been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don't get me wrong they're both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
I'm another Liftoff user!
I've also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I'm using Liftoff a lot.
Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo
https://wefwef.app/
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
- iOS: App Store Link
- Android: Google Play Store
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It's getting old really fast.
I have about 6 installed. Connect is good. Liking Infinity right now. Jerboa is really good, but I like to have comments sorted by top as a default which is doesn't do...yet.
Really, I'm waiting for Boost, but likely jump between a few for now.
Infinity for Reddit was my favourite Reddit client, and now that Infinity has a Lemmy fork I use it exclusively.
Not less than Jerboa from my experience, very few crushes... There is a bug that if you refresh a thread twice in a row it crashes, but other than that easily avoidable big it hasn't crashed for me once in either 0.0.6 or 0.0.8.
Same , but thunder so far was least bugged although the new release has bugs , now liftoff really lifts off !
I'm glad we have so many choices, I can always easily switch clients whenever I want.
Just saw that connect is out too ! They all be getting polished if development goes on!

Are you trying to restart the lemmy app war? We finally just rid ourselves of the constant memes.
See the topic description: Sticky so that we have one place to discuss. This saves removing multiple posts about mobile apps per day. The post has been stickied for over two months now; pretty sure it predates the memes.
They're all good in their own ways, but I'm starting to wonder if lemmy is actually still alive, I see a lot of bot transfered posts from reddit which is cool but of course there's no real interaction with them
I can understand why you'd be concerned about lemmy falling victim to dead internet theory but I can assure you that we are all totally real and definitely not super advanced AI trying to steal your personal data.
I use Infinity for reddit and am now using infinity for lemmy, I like the familiarity and with a bit more work it will probably become the standard android lemmy app. Having said that I liked jerboa and still use it too.
Android user here, I'm quite happy with Connect for Lemmy
The official community is at /c/lemmyconnect
For me personally, Jerboa is the best Android Lemmy app that I've tried, and I have tried several of them. I'll just be glad when Sync for Lemmy is released.
I have tried Jerboa, and have just tried liftoff. I prefer the UI of Jerboa and it's in fdroid also!
New Lemmy user here. I have two points of improvement I’d like to note, but am not sure where the actual ‘responsibility’ lies.
- It would be great to be able to mass-block communities from lists, rather than tiresomely do them one -at-a-time from ‘All’.
It would also be useful to see the list for subscribing, as I don’t know what’s out there until I see it. Sometimes I can’t think of something to search for until I see it.
Perhaps this lies more with individual apps/ clients rather than the Lemmy ecosystem…?
- May I suggest that communities entirely consisting of bots re-posting Reddit links is, uh, unhelpful?
Anyone?
Liftoff, at least It was the best for me at the time when sync came out. I tried everything back then, but I should do it again
I have tried all of the ones on Android.
Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I'm on a pixel 7 pro so it's not a legacy hardware issue either
Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I've been using it for reddit for the past decade.
Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it's got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all
If you'd like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it's not a big enough issue at all
Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It's not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
