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'm quite happy with Thunder
I really enjoyed using Thunder but then found Summit, which offers one killer feature Thunder doesn't have while covering everything that Thunder has:
Multi-communities!
I got several gaming-related communities grouped, all the selfhosting communities grouped and I just need to check those multi-communities instead of each community one by one.
Also Summit works a bit better for Piefed than Thunder, but I know that is work in progress, so no criticism there.
Voyager for me.
Thunder is also good.
I'm sad that Voyager is just a webapp and not a native client; but apart from that, I think it's perfect.
Wait what? Voyager is a native client, I'm using the version I downloaded from the Google Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.vger.voyager
I'm using boost now but I miss the swipe to upvote feature I used to have on sync. Any recommendations? That swipe feature was great and made it so easy to throw a vote out there.
After much complaining about sync's descent into mediocre abandonware, i finally switched to Summit - i still miss sync's ui/ux - but its nice being able to use a non buggy product
Sync was borderline abadonware even as a reddit third party app before reddit closed the gates.
Likewise. I left Reddit when they killed third party apps because Sync was Reddit to me. I stuck with it here for a lot longer than I should have, but I finally accepted that it was dead and settled on Summit after trying a few others. Connect is also good, but I felt like it wasn't quite as flexible as Summit last I tried.
I'm using Voyager and happy with it. Of course, now. I need to trial these listed by others.
As a primarily iPhone user, I get a thrill using Voyager on my Android phone. It's basically an Apollo clone, and Apollo was iOS only (for Reddit). IIRC Voyager is based on its released source code. The Apollo dev was never gonna code for Android, but he didn't stop others from doing so, and they did. I also like the client. On iOS, I use it for my Piefed account because of its support for that branch (fork?) of Lemmy. On iOS for this account, I use Mlem, which I believe is iOS only.
I'm happy with Voyager on Android, but I'm certainly open to alternatives. I want to keep one app that can switch between the two, so it needs Lemmy and Piefed support. I also like the comfortable interface with previews, the ability to blur/hide NSFW on a toggle (like if I'm out in public vs at home), and swipe controls (upvote, downvote, reply, and save). Easy access to blocking is also important (e.g. on this account I browse /all).
Hey a fellow Jerboa user! I'm also in the Jerboa camp, just because it's so simple. I'll use it to load my subscriptions if I'm waiting at a dentist or something.
I'm on voyager and it does the job. I miss sync though.
I've never understood why people have to use a client. I'm just using Chrome.
Sync. But I'm an old guy with habits that are hard to change
I stayed with sync until I was forced to switch due to bugs and missing features, I tried all alternatives I could find and settled on Summit. Highly recommend, it has a ton of options and both looks and feels great to use.
I also use Jerboa and I have never tried anything else. It's great imo but lacking in the more interesting features I have seen from other clients. User tagging is super cool
boost and voyager
Voyager is all I've ever used to access Lemmy.
None. Just use the website.
I use Firefox and have no idea why you'd need a dedicated app.
I also use FIrefox exclusively nowadays for Lemmy, but personally I can see the nice "feel" the app has, it just works very smoothly on a mobile device
who cares why someone might prefer or be interested or i suppose even "need" an app. why you gotta throw shade just bc you prefer a browser?
As we are talking about browsers... I use Boost, but would like the option of downloading 'all, -top six hours' including comments, for offline browsing (Perhaps up to a maximum size). Any recommendations please?
That WOULD be neat.
I t4ied only Interstellar and settled on Summit. Back when piefed social was new I got on board fairly early and interstellar IIRC was one of the first to have piefed support. Then summit came with the support and I never left since. Sorry Interstellar, Summit just have the UX I prefer back when I used Sync for reddit. Sync for lemmy didn't have piefed support back then.
Still using the browser! Works just fine.
Sync still works great and is tighter than basically everything else. The other apps have made MONSTROUS strides in the past couple years, but I still have sync set up pretty close to how I want it. But, what I really truly want is Baconreader for fediverse.
Most of the time, sync, because I prefer my scrolling and reading on a tablet, and having dual columns that are easy to parse is more important than most other factors.
Boost is my backup for the same reason, since so far all the otherwise great lemmy first apps don't do dual column well, when they do it at all.
That being said, check out connect, summit, and thunder. All damn fine apps overall
I really like Raccoon, Summit, and Connect a lot. I switch around between them just for shits and giggles; they're all great apps with cool, active developers. I'm currently writing this with Raccoon.
Just tried Raccoon and the level of post customization is really nice. But it doesn't have a mark as read button which it kinda annoying.
