I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

Curious what sync users find about it worth paying for above say Jerboa or whatever? Would appreciate comments.

I used sync on Reddit and was kinda sad to see the dev didn't grandfather people into Sync for Lemmy - especially given the high price of sync and the reuse of work that I'd already paid for. Obviously the guy should get paid, but I think Β£18 is excessive, especially for existing users.

I never used sync on reddit (was on boost) The dark overlay feature is absolutely amazing for me

Personally I don't pay for ultra and don't really notice the ads

Alexandrite for desktop and Voyager for iOS & Android is nice combo

Artemis doesn't let you sign in with different instances but as soon as it does I'll start using it more.

As far as I'm concerned, on an AOSP device, a good client should be available in the F-Droid repository.

Have tried out quite a few of the apps (was stuck the longest with Voyager, it's awesome) - but I tend to come back to Jerboa ever so often - may be because it is the oldest Android client for Lemmy, so probably the most tried and tested.

I kinda like the vintage look of Jerboa (and the cool icon) - so as soon as Jerboa gets its search feature enhanced (right now it just searches for communities, not posts or comments - but I hear that work is in progress) - Jerboa will become the best Lemmy app out there, at least for me.

Y’all on iOS need to check out Bean.

Pretty happy with voyager, it's a pretty solid choice despite being styled entirely for iOS. I'll probably look into a more Android designed / focused app going forward.

Yo who keeps adding stuff in other when there are already existing main categories with that name?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I mostly use Jerboa, and then a bit of Liftoff, I have installed Sync, Connect and Infinity just to have plenty options at hand.

I just tried Sync again and can see why people like it, with that polished fancy look.

But prefer Jerboas larger font and don't mind having vote/reply buttons at every comment.

My filter for app choice is support for list view. Fortunately there are multiple options: Sync and Connect have list views that work for me. I am curious about other list-view clients that I haven't tried.
