I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.
P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.
I really enjoy Sync.
I was using Voyager until Sync got ported over to Lemmy. Voyager is great, but I find Sync more responsive. I also really appreciate Sync’s appearance customization. I’m old, so I like cranking the size of some text.
I think there’s an ad supported version of Sync if you want to try it. I paid the CDN$10 or whatever it cost on release. It’s worth it to me.
I also really like sync. I also paid for the ad free version.
But there are still some issues and the dev is, again, inactive.
Yeah. As much as I like Sync, I’m envious of aeharding’s constant improvements to Voyager.
yep. i lived Avelon until development stopped, and Voyager passed it up. the continued development is the long term play. my only problem with voyager is it doesnt let you come back to where you left off. i leave the app to google up something before i post it and when i go to return the post has vanished.
i want non-volatile Voyager.
Big +1 for Sync.
I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.
It’s an awesome app. Best app purchase I’ve ever made. (There is a free version too.)
I think I want to give a try to Sync soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m on iOS and Voyager has many customizations and the ability to change text sizes. I’ve never noticed any issues with responsiveness.
Is this another one of those “well I was on Android and used sync vs well I was iOS and used AlienBlue / Apollo ” comments? Perhaps androids Voyager not as good as the iOS version? I guess it depends on what OP is using for mobile.
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.
I’ll give a try soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ve used Memmy, Avalon, and settled on Voyager because Apollo just scratched that itch like nothing else. There’s not really any terrible choice other than web/no client app.
So at the very end you choose Voyager, right?
Yeppers, Memmy is delightful and Avalon is really beautiful but Apollo aka Voyager was what I was always seeking
Noted. Thanks for the suggestion, mate.
If you where a RIF user, go with boost. It’s as close to rif as it gets. Since the rif dev went to that ban happy tildes site.
I loved Reddit Is Fun. I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy because it seemed very similar to me. I wonder if I should try boost out.
When I started using lemmy I just grabbed every app for it and tried them all. Boost is the closest I was able to find, and it has a ton of options to get it looking and feeling like RIF. The others were good, but just different. I liked RIF because of how simplistic it was, boost thankfully gives that same simplistic feel.

Eternity for Lemmy
Many of them recommend this client too.
If you’re on android I can highly recommend Eternity. Open source and a fork of Infinity for Reddit; which is still going as a paid service post Reddit API débâcle. I loved Infinity prior to Reddit being a bitch and Eternity is just as great
How about on iOS? 🥲
Jerboa is also good
👍🏼
Liking Voyager, after trying a few unsuccessfully. This is the first one that rivals the old Reddit Is Fun for me
🔥
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.
I had the exact same experience lol.
Thanks for your honest opinion, mate.
Jerboa is great. Free and made by the head Lemmy Dev. Never tried others
Maybe I should try Jerboa too.
As someone who was used to Apollo
and is still using it, I’ve seen no reason to switch from Voyager.#VoyagerFam

Connect has works well for me. Reminds me of reddit is fun which was my go to
👍🏼
I use both Voyager and Eternity.
👍🏼
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.
👍🏼
