Am I the only one using Connect?
Am I out of touch?
No, it's the lemmings who are wrong.

Sync for Lemmy
Sync, until it dies.
Jerboa was the smallest one I could find on F-Droid. The lack of post search sucksssss but that's probably a sign that I should get home and onto my computer regardless.
I just access it via the Firefox browser. Mostly because I'm tired of everything wanting to have its own app which turns out to just be a more colourful container to load the webpage (my tinfoil hat hypothesis is that they do it to bypass adblocks). And the other reason is that I couldn't find anything I need to do on Lemmy that I'm not just as able to do from the browser.
I tried Voyager and Interstellar but Blorp for whatever reason was the only one with a UI that felt right to me.
Voyager.
Voyager
Boost and Connect are my favorites for Lemmy.
Boost and Voyager for me.
We asked about this in our census and got the following results:
Interesting, thanks for the info!
Nice it seems Voyager is a clear winner!
Blorp for me
Same here. Blorp was the first result when looking up Lemmy on the Google Play Store and I've had 0 issues since.
Blorp dev here. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make the app better for you!
I used to use Boost for Reddit back then and switched over to Boost for Lemmy initially. Nowadays I use Voyager as the UI is better IMO.
Does voyager actually support saved comments? Boost still only shows saved posts despite letting you save comments.
Sorry, for the late reply I wanted to double check if I was correct. Yes, Voyager shows your saved comments and posts under the "Saved" category on your profile page
I use browser, never really had a reason to switch
I'm using Voyager because Star Trek.
Works very well except for one problem, it doesn't remember the last thread or community I was on I switch apps and android kills in background.
It's particularly annoying when I follow a link and when I come back to comment on it Voyager is back on Home and the thread lost forever.
Or when I'm in the middle to writing a comment but want to quickly fact check something but when I come back I get a message saying that my comment was saved, nice. But still can't go back to the thread I was to finish it.
Apart from that I'm satisfied with it.
Firefox on mobile. I make the website an app. It works.
Jerboa
After using thunder I haven't felt the need to try anything else since.
Irreally really like you Voyager. It's inspired by Reddit Sync, the GOAT
I'm still using Sync (for Lemmy) but I'll need to check Voyager out, since it seems Sync is now abandoned.
I love Sync. A beautiful app that served me for a full decade. But now, Sync charges way too much for a subscription and access to features that used to be free or came with a one-time purchase. And yes, it appears abandoned, so why would subscribe?
Sync also had a bunch of customizations that I had to do for each account. Very tedious and the settings menus and options themselves weren't implemented as well as they could have been.
Voyager was exactly what I needed. It's very close the Sync experience while also its own thing. I'm very happy with it. If only they'd change the logo
I've been using Boost simply because it's what I used to use for reddit and it does what I want
Summit wins out
Also on summit. Not only is it a really nice to use app in general, it also has the best mod tools that I've seen in any app so far.
Im on summit now and its ok. I wish sync was still in development.

Voyager for me. The compact mode is fairly compact, with small enough thumbnails that it can feel text-first. The few others that support piefed have had huge images with no easy way to fix that.
Too many options so I just use the browser and it works perfectly fine
Voyager, only because I'm used to it and cbf swapping.
If RiF was made for Lemmy, I'd be using that.
I like Boost.
Last time I said this, I got shunned for recommending a closed-source app. I generally try to stick to open-source, but Boost has a good UI, works well, and bugs are fixed quickly.
I like Boost, even paid for it. Sometimes won't load mpegs or bigger files,but those are my only gripes
Also been using Boost for years and very happy with it. My only gripe is that oftentimes embedded images like custom emotes are displayed at an enormous screen filling size, so sometimes if a user includes multiple emotes in a comment I have to scroll several screens to get to the next comment. This never was an issue in the Reddit Boost app, and the fact that its been unaddressed for so long now has me worried that the app may have been abandoned. No idea if it still gets updates, I should check one day.
I'm also using boost but "bugs are fixed quickly" isn't my experience.
Maybe I just haven't encountered any bugs that took a long time to fix. It's been pretty reliable for me.
