Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what’s the latest state of the above question?
What app do you use and why? I’m mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what’s your primary one?
I love the Connect app(Play store link). It’s incredibly feature-rich for being so early in the game.
I cannot understand why anyone would use an app with Ads when connect has none and it’s free! After getting used to no ads, pure content, I would hate to go back.
I used to use boost for Reddit, but I’m securely in the connect camp now.
I find Boost for lemmy to work really well for me. I also use Voyager as a backup.
Still using Sync and Voyager. Voyager so similar to Apollo and Sync also solid as their Reddit client.
Boost is excellent. Very cheap to remove ads and it’s just fast and minimal AF. The developer does a lot to maintain it also, it’s not abandoned like some others
iOS: Mlem
I used boost for Reddit and use Boost for lemmy since day one (of the app) I love it.
Sync, used it for who knows how long for Reddit, and none of the other options I tried before it was released for Lemmy came anywhere close to feeling as nice to use.
I can’t recommend Sync in good conscience with the update policy. The dev keeps going AWOL for months, even when breaking issues exist.
This was fine when I paid something like 3€, but it’s no longer fine when I pay 20€.
I’ve been loyal to Sync. Few quirks that need to be resolved like support for Lemmy spoilers, but other than that it’s been fantastic.
Like others I used Liftoff but had to move on when API broke it & dev is getting on with real life stuff.
Moved to Voyager. It’s good but as an android I still find it a bit strange using what looks like iOS interface. I still get a bit lost when uploading a post & usually have to edit it a few times. No biggie, maybe I should post more & get used it it 😃
I still miss the Joey app from the other place.
Eternity
Boost and Jerboa, the latter via F-Droid.
I used Boost after Lightning died, it works great and i have no desire to look for another one. I used boost on reddit too
Saw Boost mentioned already, but also I think Tesseract deserves a shoutout for clean and modern web experience.
My use case is incredibly simple, but I really like Jerboa.
I use jerboa and so far my only gripes are being unable to unblock communities or users unless you go to the desktop page and the upvote system being a percentage instead of just an up and down counter.
I originally used boost as that’s what I used for reddit but boost is crammed full of ads unless you buy the premium version.
Yes I agree, the separate up down vote count was better on Jerboa.
