I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.

P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.

Jerboa is also good

Voyager is the best for me. Used Apollo for Reddit for years on my iPhone, so Voyager on Android just feels familiar and comfortable. Like sleeping in your own bed.

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

Thunder, for sure

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.

Can't recommend Thunder enough, especially if you like a good compact mode/gesture-based UI. The devs are great and very responsive on the github repo, and the app just keeps getting better!

Using Eternity and very happy with it, just as I was when it was Infinity for Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

The web client is serviceable.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Thanks for your honest opinion, mate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I use it. Had tried Voyager for a day or so, but came back to Jerboa.

I'm curious about Eternity, since I am a Infinity user. Haven't tried it yet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

I tried a bunch of apps last year and settled on jerboa. My only complaint is the inability to default sort comments by old.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

It's fine but if you compare Jerboa side to side with Sync, you see that Sync is much smoother.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I settled on it after trying Sync

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Yep, the only decent mobile client.

when I tried it, it lagged like no other app does. it genuinely had 10-20 fps

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

I found one person that reply to me using it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Use use jerboa! I like the fact that you can see downvotes although I'm not sure if it's specifically a jerboa thing or some apps just don't do it

Raccoon, second best is Eternity

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

We also have the Raccoon as a client! πŸ˜‚

Tried all, ended up using Summit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Summit is a wonderful app, and the dev is super helpful. Can't recommend Summit enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Same. Summit is amazing and since starting to use it a year ago I haven't even wanted to try anything else again.

And for reference I used to use baconreader for a decade over on Reddit. Summit has a similar vibe for me.
