Lemmy Client - Lemmy.World

What is the best client for Lemmy? What client do you use for Lemmy on Android? At the time I use Thunder!

I used connect for a few months, but it had a variety of little issues that made me want to branch out. Currently running Summit, and it does pretty much everything I could want it to.
my favorite mobile client is firefox
I highly recommend Jerboa. It’s made by the Lemmy devs and is available on F-droid/GitHub so I don’t have to use the play store. Currently typing this from the app.
I really like Mlem on iOS! Using it now actually
Same! I’m shocked it’s free considering how high quality it is

I’ve been using [email protected] for a year now. Very happy with it.

Doesn’t seem to like piefed though but I don’t like piefed either so, eh.

Where did you get it? It’s not on f-droid

Summit

Google Play and Obtanium/GitHub links on there.

It is open source, but dev has had issues with F-droid’s approval process last I checked. Not a deal breaker for me.

Summit is heads above the other clients for me. Dev has added a bunch of feature requests from me, so that certainly helps. Steady development of the app and they respond to everyone quickly on here with questions/comments.

I’ve had luck with Piefed on it when .world was having uptime issues.

Summit

Summit: Lemmy Simplified.

Found out there is the Atkinson font available, neat.
It looks like that’s what I’ve been using. No wonder I find it so pleasing to read even without my glasses.
Works fine with piefed for me! Also side note why don’t you like piefed?

Mainly because of the default web interface. I tried having an account and it was immediately annoying and counter intuitive to try to navigate. Loading up the account page takes forever for some reason. And i couldn’t get it to login at all on Summit.

I just find the default Lemmy more comfy.

I used Sync (first for Reddit, then for Lemmy), but the dev’s been AWOL for a lot longer than normal so it’s pretty broken at this point.

Tried Connect next, and it was alright.

Currently using Voyager and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s gotten me back to the old Sync customizations I used to have.

I can’t stop using Eternity. Its just so lightweight and does everything I need. I come from Infinity, when I was on Reddit (fuck spez). Yes, I’m aware it hasn’t been updated in nearly 2 years. To each their own. 🤷‍♂️
Eternity | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

An Lemmy client for Android, forked from the Infinity for Reddit project.

Came here to recommend Sync. I haven’t really noticed anything broken

Sameee, don’t plan to switch away bcus haven’t found client of both (reddit|lemmy) even if separate apps for each . Hope for dev activity again some day 🙏
I’ve been using boost and love it
Jerboa works pretty good
I’ve been enjoying Voyager
“Best” is subjective, “good” is objective. And Voyager is objectively good.
I get this weird bug on voyager where, on the home screen, if I pull up from the bottom it creates black space. This makes it hard to use, though if I was more graceful perhaps I wouldn’t do it accidentally so often.
I have a similar bug. It happens if I enter typing mode (such as when writing this comment). It causes the app to have black dead space around it. But I’ve gotten used to it.

I’ve been using Boost, Blorp and Voyager, but I also haven’t tried the other apps in a long time. I’m used to these and they do almost everything I need so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lemmy Apps

Find the best Lemmy Apps to explore the Fediverse. Easily sort, filter, and submit apps with Lemmy Apps.

How can I make Blorp so incredibly good that you don’t have to juggle multiple clients? Unless you enjoy juggling clients, in which case more power to ya.

I use Boost primarily, and I’m playing around with the other two for Piefed support.

The Dev is active on here if you want to request features you are looking for

[email protected]

Sorry I kinda chaotically respond to everyone and sometimes I mix up someone who has already left feedback. I forget where you left your feedback, but just make sure it’s in GitHub (if it’s not already) and it’s much more likely to get addressed. I’m going to try and burn through the entire backlog of issues this month.
No problem! I haven’t submitted any feedback directly yet. I’ll be sure to get it on the GitHub when I do
Thunder’s really good, I’d just stick with that.

I use Ironfox (Firefox) to access the mobile website of piefed.social, zero need for another app at all.

This was also the case when I used Lemmy via shitjustworks.

Imo Thunder has the best design out of every app I tested, but the development is slow. Iirc some moderation actions are still not available.

I then switched to Summit after the dev open sourced it a few years ago. The dev is very active and friendly.

Voyager is good.

Sync is really good, but the dev has abandoned it.

Yeah in my opinion sync is the best but bound to break eventually. Maybe revanced can keep it alive
blorp is good, the developer is on here and its updated frequently
Blorp
Blorp dev here. Let me know if you need anything!
Testing Blorp at the time
I use boost, to me it was the best reddit client and when it came to lemmy all others felt incomplete so I jumped over ASAP and I haven’t missed anything.
Boost, you have a link to the client or project page

Boost in Google Play

It’s not open source, though

Jerboa looks pretty good, even though a little underfeatured
