I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.
P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.
Can't recommend Thunder enough, especially if you like a good compact mode/gesture-based UI. The devs are great and very responsive on the github repo, and the app just keeps getting better!
Use use jerboa! I like the fact that you can see downvotes although I'm not sure if it's specifically a jerboa thing or some apps just don't do it
I use Thunder currently. My first Android Lemmy client was Jerboa, which was fine.
I've tried Voyager, and I can't remember right now why I didn't stick with it, but I ended up just gravitating towards Thunder. It's UI strikes the right balance between feature full and minimal imho.
Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.
I loved infinity for reddit so I'm on eternity for Lemmy (a fork of infinity). The other I use is Jerboa. Haven't enjoyed anything else I've tried, not that I've tried everything.
I tried a handful, and the one I liked best is Thunder. There were aspects I liked about Voyager too, but Thunder was set up better in my opinion.
Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support
It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn't consume content (by URL)
I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest
Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty
Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.
Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.
Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.
If you’re on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.
