Sync
Voyager. Closest (so far) to Apollo UI.
Apollo is dead, right?
Yea, sadly. You can open the app to hear some music and get a link to the merch store. It also unlocks an extra in the developer’s other app, pixel pals. But no browsing
BOOOOOOOOST
Boost has been my go to for Reddit, and now also for Lemmy. Best app ever.
Eternity
Seconded.
just wanted to point out how amazing it is to have so many high quality choices for Lemmy apps when theres only 40,000 active monthly users! And how the uptime has improved over the last month..
Sync for Lemmy is my daily-driver, but I also use the pwa (Voyager/wefwef), Liftoff, and Connect.
Yep, 4 apps for browsing Lemmy with, and I love them all for different reasons. I've used Sync for years and had no problem paying to get rid of ads - so many hours of entertainment have been facilitated by Sync, and I appreciate that enough to pay for it.
Sync, I've used it for years on reddit and am quite used to it.
Jerboa is still my choice. Thunder is good but is slow at times, I used to be Infinity for Reddit user but I've become enamored with MD3.
Liftoff. Just a plain, minimal, and stable experience.
Jerboa, fits me so far.
Me too, such a great app. I tried others and were not good for me.
I tried it back in June but it seemed like it was down every other day. I switched to Connect and haven't had any issues, so I've stuck with it. I'm glad to hear Jerboa recovered because it was a nice experience when it would work.
Eternity.
Just Infinity, but for Lemmy.
Boost. Loved it when I was still using reddit. Am really happy to be able to use it again for Lemmy.
Boost! As an avid Boost for Reddit user, this feels like coming home.
Currently Summit because it is the only app that supports mod actions (that I know of). The dev also implemented some of my suggestions and I'm still happy about that, so I'm biased.
Otherwise I like the simplicity of Jerboa.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !summit@lemmy.world
Using Connect for now and it's working well for me
Boost just dropped so I'm giving that an honest try, so far it seems great. Connect is the alternative I've been using for some time.
Boost is a lot smoother, which makes sense since it's had years to mature, but it's missing some Lemmy specific features still. Connect has the features, but it's less polished.
Both are likely to improve more, and I'll likely use Boost moving forward, but I do have some concerns about if the ads trackers go away when I pay to remove them
Sync for now, I'll give Boost a shot when it's 1.0.
Personally, Jerboa
It reminds me a lot of BaconReader for Reddit
I use Jerboa too, and as a former BaconReader user I agree it feels somewhat similar
Connect. I have jerboa and sync installed but the regex filters in connect are are a killer feature and I'm quite happy with the app
Same. I've switched to it when starting with Lemmy and it's been a great app. To me the UI is preferable to Jerboa and Sync. I used to use Baconreader for Reddit and Connect feels kinda similar.
I oscillate between Mlem and Avelon these days as they are both native SwiftUI apps.
Really shocked no one has mentioned Sync For Lemmy!

Same dev that built the legendary Sync for Reddit app. Very stable builds with be QoL and other features showing up regularly.
Eternity. I feel like not many people know about it, which is a shame - it's the most polished open source Lemmy app (haven't tried the ad-ridden spying ones, can't compare with them).
Boost. Was my favorite for years on the other platform, very happy to see it launched here
Boost. Since the app dropped a few days ago I've been using Lemmy as much as I never did.
I use Jerboa as well as my main lemmy client (Voyager being the stand by). I like the vintage feel of Jerboa, at the same time can't deny the fact that Jerboa is the oldest and battle-tested client among all.
The only thing Jerboa is missing is a complete search functionality (currently it just searches for communities).
As soon as the capability to search for posts and communities (IIRC a bug was raised in Jan 2022 for this by dessalines himself) - Jerboa will arguably be the best lemmy app around.
Jerboa is also missing what I consider a necessary and basic feature of setting a default comment sort. If you want to see comments sorted by top then you have to make 2 extra clicks in every post you click into, it's extremely frustrating.
I like Jerboa, and I've even donated to them, but it's unusable in the current state. If you don't care about changing comment sorting, I guess it's fine, but I do.
Agreed.
One other thing that Jerboa has but very few other apps do - is the ability to automatically retrieve and put in the header of an article when you are about to post a URL of that article. IMO this is a basic feature that every app should have.
Eternity - The new name of Infinity for Lemmy, which is a fork from Infinity for Reddit.
I even have imported my settings from the original.
Memmy. I tried a bunch, but Memmy is the one I kept coming back to.
I am testing out voyager as memmy keeps stopping working, but yeah, if memmy didn't keep crashing, would agree.
I use liftoff. I like that voting and images/like are all on the right side for one-handed scrolling. Tried boost but could not get it to work the same.
Eternity. Same interface as my favorite Reddit app - infinity
Eternity for life
Boost! So glad it's back as a Lemmy app!
Photon
I just use the web UI in Opera browser.
