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

[-] Michal@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.

It's unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it's mind blowing the dev pull this off.

[-] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It inherits all the lessons learned with Sync for Reddit until it died.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm so happy it's here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.

[-] Senuf@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it

[-] sygnius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn't really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.

Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.

[-] ivenoidea@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I second Memmy. I’ve tried the others available currently, including wefwef and Memmy is my favorite. wefwef is second, but an actual native app still feels better imo.

[-] fraydabson@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I love wef wef but still has some weirdness being a web app. Memmy is my favorite installed app.

Another Memmy user here - if you’re a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!

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/

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

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.

There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

Right now I'm using Liftoff on Android.

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app's community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.

[-] ThrowingTofu@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

By far the best interface on android so far. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy and Boost for Lemmy as well.

[-] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 1 year ago

I prefer Sync because of the font, the design, and the way the options are arranged.

[-] WackyTabbacy42069@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

Using it right now. Very nice interface, especially comment field

I love the formatting tools

that are placed at the bottom

And enable easy text fancification

Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.

[-] AngryDemonoid@lemmy.lylapol.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was previously my least favorite android option, but Jerboa is coming together nicely.

I also have Thunder and liftoff installed. I bounce between all 3.

I'll most likely be jumping to Boost if/when that comes out because I'm just so used to it.

[-] snowgrimm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I am using Connect for Lemmy. It is straightforward.

After trying (imho) all android app, for me, Connect works the best.

I think it depends on one's taste which app is the "best".

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

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.

[-] kzhe@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Jerboa seems great to me

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Android user here, I'm quite happy with Connect for Lemmy

On Android, definitely Sync. Yes, it has ads, but they're way less obnoxious than the ones on the official Reddit app, so I will keep putting up with them and u/Spez can go fuck himself.

I second Summit.

Very active developer, he just released mod tools and multi communities. I spent years browsing Reddit with Relay and felt miserable with every other Lemmy app, but with Summit, I felt right at home.

[-] PreciousDeclaration@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Infinity for Reddit was my favourite Reddit client, and now that Infinity has a Lemmy fork I use it exclusively.

Android: Eternity (A Lemmy client for Android, forked from the Infinity for Reddit project.) https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/

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.

[-] Dreamer_joy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

'Connect' seems to be quite good.

Fuck, I thought I was a mainstream lemmy user and now I find out that using voyager apparently makes me an outsider. :(

I've tried almost all of them and shockingly Jerboa seems the best despite being the first as far as I'm aware.

Sync comes in last for having ads unfortunately. Or basically just disqualified.

https://wefwef.app is amazing. PWA and hence cross-platform.

for me liftoff is the least buggy and runs smoother than thunder or jerboa

[-] Lord_Logjam@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Of the ones I have tried Sync and Thunder are my preferred options.

[-] chrizbie@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

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

Could we get a new pinned comment for this. Some of this is our of date now and it would be nice to discuss.

Apps, interfaces, browser extensions, scripts

Are you trying to restart the lemmy app war? We finally just rid ourselves of the constant memes.
