I enjoy eternity as well, but its also been a while since any updates were published.
As long as it works, I don't see a problem not receiving updates so often

Not sure, I've been using Interstellar with Mbin and it's been pretty great. Would recommend, responsive dev, works well, supports multiple platforms!
Eternity
I'm using Connect and it's fine. The dev sometimes pushes updates that break things but the patches come quick enough.
It's an extremely familiar app experience as a very long time Redditor. The app works great.
There are dozens of us

Definitely thunder. I've been using it since it was in early alpha and it has improved so much and works really really well.
I was using Etehnity, but I had some issues with it and recently started using Raccoon instead, which has been pretty good.
Sync was almost always like this - the Dev takes long breaks and then updates the app with lots of good stuff. He did this since reddit days, so I'm really not concerned
He probably has a day job
Boost works fine
Left Sync for it, temporarily, until Sync is back to updating. It's been like this back in the Reddit years too.
I remember boost taking it's sweet time. But sync always updated more regularly.
ljdawson was always gone for months back in the day. A year is a long time, but I'm not that surprised. The only reason it's a problem is because, unlike Reddit, Lemmy isn't really stable.
Both Sync and Boost are stable apps, so to speak. But it is a problem when the site itself gets a lot of stuff updated. The app devs need to sort their schedule out tbh.
I started with Voyager and eventually moved to Mlem, which has given me zero issues thus far
Ok il look into it. But f droid has been funky for a few months now.
I use Thunder too, I like it. But you accidentally added a space in the first hyperlink, so it's not rendered correctly.

I've been very happy with Summit on Android.
Edit: changed link to app website
It's unfortunately proprietary :(
Summit is severely overlooked. Dev fixes many bug reports same/next day as well.
Where is the source code? Is it closed source? As I see only releases are on github
It is closed source. People keep asking if it will be made open source, and the dev doesn't necessarily seem opposed to it. I don't recall the reasons they gave, nor would I likely understand them as someone who is not a developer, but there are threads on it on [email protected]. They are generally very open to discussing things if you might have solutions for them.

I use Voyager on Android.
I know that this is stupid and petty, but I dislike Voyager, because it's essentially a web app. I prefer native or near-native apps (things like Flutter or React Native). I tried it out and it's pretty nice UI/UX-wise, but I still prefer Arctic on iOS, because it's an actual native app written in SwiftUI, and thus closer to Apollo for Reddit (which Voyager tries to imitate).
I am not an iOS user in any way. Does Voyager actually look/feel different than a native Swift app in any way? Or does it just bother you to know, in the back of your mind, that it is not native?
Or does it just bother you to know, in the back of your mind, that it is not native?
That's why I said that this is stupid and petty, but the thought alone makes my blood boil. And it's not the same as with normal Electron apps on desktop, I also hate those, but for different reasons. Voyager looks just like a native iOS app, which makes this even worse for me, as I'm allergic to this kind of HTML/CSS/JS imitation of native UI libraries. Something about it just feels so wrong to me as a developer, I don't know.
But I recommend you don't actually listen to me, just use whatever you like.
What about raccon for Lemmy and connect?
Never tried Raccoon, but I used Connect for a while, it's not bad, but unfortunately proprietary :(

I've just started on Lemmy very recently, but I've been trying out different Android Lemmy clients. I'm currently on 'Voyager for Lemmy' which I installed from F-Droid, and personally this has been my best experience yet
FYI, voyager started as a hyper performant webapplication namef wefwef
I still have it as a shortcut on my phone as a backup to the official app
~~Voyager is a good client but it's a variation of infinity which with Infinity I don't really vibe with. Its not a bad client just not for me.~~
Sorry I'm thinking of eternity π . My bad
I tried a few other clients as well and settled on Voyager in the end. The experience is great, it's being actively developed and the dev is active in [email protected]. Can recommend!

I've switched to using Jerboa from Sync and it's absolutely fine for my casual usage and it doesn't have ads, which is a big plus point.
Jerobs is awesome!!
