Hey I figured I’d make a post and see the state of current lemmy appage, since I’m looking for a good one. So far I’ve used Jerboa, Thunder, Eternity, and Voyager.

Eternity seems to be a dead project, it’s full of bugs and hasn’t recieved an update since The Exodus

Thunder seems ok and is what I’m using right now, but I can’t seem to send direct messages, and can’t “Don’t blur NSFW preview on NSFW comms” which sucks. The messaging is the dealbreaker for me.

Voyager I used momentarily but the UI was not my favorite.

Jerboa seems OK if unpolished (which is ok to me) but I don’t trust the rabid idealogue that makes it and using another instance of his site is one thing, but installing an app is another. Has it been audited to confirm lack of spyware?

Ideally through this I can find one with instance blocking, DMs, and a decent UI. What’re your experiences with the current state of lemmy apps?

    Sync is fantastic, IMO. I switched from Jerboa and Connect a year ago and never needed to look back.

    The dev isn’t super active, but updates seem to drop when they need to

      Ooh Sync is another one I enjoyed! I swear I bought every large 3rd party app to try out fully. Google Pay Rewards, thank you. Lol
