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.
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 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.
I feel like Sync doesn’t really need an update? It seems complete to me.
Using Eternity and very happy with it, just as I was when it was Infinity for Reddit.
No one here using Jerboa??
I tried a bunch of apps last year and settled on jerboa. My only complaint is the inability to default sort comments by old.
It’s fine but if you compare Jerboa side to side with Sync, you see that Sync is much smoother.
I settled on it after trying Sync
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.
Welp, I’m on voyager too lol

Eternity for Lemmy
Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.
👍🏼
Raccoon, second best is Eternity
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?
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
Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.
Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.
Mlem is a lot better than Voyager. Better features, faster, has fewer errors messages. At least for me.
I loved Apollo and appreciate Voyager but it doesn’t respect hiding read posts very well so I turned to Mlem which is now my favorite. The v2 beta is even better, adding easy markdown formatting and some nicer UI enhancements (the vote counter scrolling up or down on vote is a nice touch).
I had the opposite. Mlem always felt “in progress” and voyager was like walking into a polished experience. Voyager was the app respecting “read” posts.
It does, it’s just not consistent. Mlem is. I still have Voyager and check it every once in a while.
I’ve never encountered this. Oh well.
Thanks for the feedback.
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.
Mlem
👍🏼
Thunder, for sure
if ios, then Arctic for sure. it’s the only one that feels as smooth as apollo did, has some excellent customizability, and is just as feature rich as the more popular clients
