What is your favorite client for Lemmy?
Sync all the way.
Sync! It’s what I used on Reddit, and having it here made switching platforms so much smoother.
Voyager…formerly wefwef.
It has all platforms - Web, PWA, iOS and Android.
It is free and open source. No tracking and no ads.
Me too. Same app for my PC and Android feels good.
It is wild that on github, Voyager almost has much stars as Lemmy. I love this app so far. (And lemmy as well)
same. initially i was worried about the performance compared to “native” clients like Boost,Sync,etc but even as a PWA written in JS i have zero issues with it.
I previously used Voyager before switching to Boost. It was the only way I could experience iOS apps on Android.

Sync
Boost (the best social app ever) & Jerboa (simple, lightweight alternative).
Boost gang! 🚀🚀
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Boost is. It’s the only android Reddit app that I will acknowledge, and it’s the only client that got me into Lemmy.
Has to be Boost.
You can 1- hand with boost. That’s all you need to know
Boost is too nosy.
How so?
And requires payment to remove ads. Fucking lame.
What’s the issue with that?
Hmmm. Let’s see. Annoy the users of your product into paying you money so that they can have the features that other similar products offer for free?
I’ll be damned! Seems there is no catch!
I don’t get it. Do you expect him to work for free just because others do? If Boost for Lemmy was completely a paid app instead of free with ads, it wouldn’t see as much adoption. That’s how Sync, Boost and Relay (for Reddit) used to work.
So…. There’s tons of free options that are just as good, if not better. So, offering a paid version of something people can easily get for free is duping the ignorant.
Now if Boost offered some premium option that was not offered in the free apps- that’d be entirely different. But that’s not the case.
So it’s a rip-off.
Boost
Memmy (on iOS).
Astoundingly good for solo effort at sub v1.0.
Yeah. It’s my favorite at the moment, but it doesn’t seem well maintained
The github is active again! Looks like the dev is back from their break
Removed by mod
all day long. everything else feels clunky
Absolutely love it.
Boost!
Boost. 1000% boost.
Has too many trackers for my liking
I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it’s just far and away the best IMHO.
Jerboa
On Android, former Relay for Reddit user.
Right now I have SEVEN lemmy apps on my home screen as I figure out which I like best. So far I keep going back to Sync the most.
Boost’s animations suck. It takes too long to show the post list after swiping away an image and the whole screen goes black, it’s a bit jarring.
Liftoff works well but it’s ugly.
Jerboa isn’t very customizable and the post list doesn’t feel dense enough.
Voyager literally does not tell you what instance the community you’re viewing is on.
I haven’t touched Thunder in a while but I see they’ve updated quite a bit with a lot more customization. I remember older versions being nice, so I’ll give it a try again.
Connect is about the same as Liftoff, works well but kinda ugly. Admittedly not as ugly though.
That issue with Boost may be device dependent. It is only a split second of black for me on an S23. But, i agree it should just be better no matter the device.
For Voyager, there is a setting to show the instance.
I found the setting for showing a user’s instance, but still no setting for showing the instance of communities.
If there’s no @, it’s local.
Could probably add an option to configure. The idea to not include the instance url if local was to cut down on noise in the UI.
Voyager literally does not tell you what instance the community you’re viewing is on.
Yes it does. If there no @lemmy.instance attached to the community then that is because the community is on the same instance as your account.
Boost can display new comments in a different color. I don’t know how I lived without that feature for so long. Any other apps that can do that?
Last time I used Connect and Voyager (a few weeks ago) they couldn’t do that. They were nice otherwise, but Boost seems to do everything they do and more.
