What are some of the 'best' Lemmy apps for Android?

I use Connect on my phone. I've tried others, even Sync when it came out but I guess I was already used to Connect.

Infinity!

I like Thunder and Infinity

Sync followed by Liftoff

Sync for lemmy now. Boost for lemmy when it comes out. Jerboa is nice too.

Voyager recently got added to F-Droid but can also be used as PWA from a web browser but personally I'm currently waiting until Infinity for Lemmy actually will get it's first stable release

when I wanted a lemmy app, searching f-droid only pulled up Jerboa, and I remain happy with it.

Infinity for Lemmy! I've been using Infinity for Reddit way before the API situation, and I am very used to the interface.

Tried other clients like Thunder and Connect, but the interfaces are either too chunky or the colors are off. Infinity for Lemmy is essentially a complete copy of the original and I love it.

Liftoff is working really well for me!

I was using Jerboa for most things but using the progressive web app as well. Sync is my preferred method for browsing and commenting at this point, but I'm still using the PWA for mod responsibilities and submissions (though I think LJ expects to have submissions working soon and 🤞 mod tools aren't far behind). It's fair to say that Sync is my preference due to comfort but the amount of customization is what makes it so comfy in the first place.

Infinity is great, much cleaner/easier to read layout compared to Sync IMO.

Sync, Liftoff and Voyager are the three I've used. They're all good.

Liftoff, voyager. Really loving the look of Infinity but it's very stage and missing some features. Maybe down the road infinity might become my app of choice if it adds more features that I like.

I had a look on F-Droid and it seems that Jerboa and Lemmur are your best options.

I'm using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can't decide which is better, so I'm interested in others people love.

I've tried a few and Thunder is my favourite, plus it's F/OSS

Infinity is the best Reddit client I've ever tried, and I will say the same for the Lemmy fork. I have deleted everything else but Sync and Infinity.

I've only tried Liftoff, but I'm liking it so far.

I really really wanted to use Jerboa. I love Jerboas and I love FOSS.

But I tried sync today and it's just better.

Really disappointed at the pricing model but I'm just ad blocking it in protest of the insane pricing.

As an app though, I'd happily buy it for a reasonable price given the quality.

Permanently Deleted

I've tried pretty much every app available, and liked Thunder the most. second place goes to Jerboa.

Every of the "Hot" app there is a solid choice, but it will probably depend on their personal preferences

I used Infinity for Reddit and I tried Sync and Jerboa for Lemmy. So now I am using Infinity for Lemmy and it's really good. Feels the same as the original Infinity and has almost all the advanced features.

Jeroba

@admin tell me I’m not the only person in the world who thought ‘Lemmy???’ What on earth does it mean nowadays?

All apps require some customization for my preference. Once I'm done with customizing, there's hardly any difference between apps. I'm currently using Connect, because it's very customizable. I like the list view and the option not to preload pictures to save on data.

Voyager is also pretty good, but the webapp seemed to conflict with my browser. Maybe that's fixed in the native app.

I don't understand why anyone likes card view at all. It's pretty much the reason why I was locked to using a third party app for Reddit in the first place when they "updated" the site back in 2018.

The web browser works fine for me, and then I don't have a other app on my phone. I've tried a bunch of different apps, Jerboa, Liftoff, Wefwef/voyager, and connect, and I keep coming back to just viewing it in browser. Haven't tried Sync because the idea of wilfully putting ads into a thing that doesn't have them is disgusting to me.

I'm currently using Sync but once some of the others polish up and catch up, I'll probably switch. All of the actively developed apps have a solid foundation, some are just newer than others.

I'm not sure if its open source, so technically not FOSS, but Connect is by far my favorite UI and UX wise.

I got used to stock because at the time I was searching for an app there was none. I have added PWA shortcut to homescreen and it just works

I've tried every one that I know of, repeatedly, and I still don't think any of the others compare to Voyager. And that's on the web app, haven't even tried the Play Store/F-Droid version yet.

For me, it's also a question of the development speed and responsiveness of the dev community. Voyager gets an update almost every single day, sometimes more than one a day, and the devs are super responsive and nice.

Connect is great on phones, and Infinity is very customizable and works well on tablets. Both have very active developer support.

Good resource for all platforms: https://lemdro.id/post/4319

Constantly updated, so make sure to check in there every couple of weeks.

I think most apps are decent in their own way and appeal to different users. Some want a simple client that just does what it needs to do, some prefer complete customization, some prefer having the exact same interface that they had on reddit, some prefer something a little different.

Infinity, Sync, Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, just to name a few, are all good for different reasons. Some upcoming ones look really nice (particularly Artemis which will be for Kbin and, shortly later, Lemmy) and several are cross-platform, which is a benefit when suggesting something that everyone can use.

I personally really like the Photon web app UI. And since it's a web app, it's platform agnostic as well which is nice. (Another bonus is that any instance can use it and other web app interfaces as potential alternative interfaces for the entire instance, like lemdro.id using Photon for https://nu.lemdro.id/)

To be honest, I just stick with the web interface at this point. I've become so used to it and I don't feel like using apps that were reddit ones or try to emulate them or reddit in general. Prefer Lemmy feeling a bit, if only a little, different from my previous time on the orange nightmare site, but I get why others prefer them for familiarity.

What do you want to do that you cant easily do on mobile browser?

Really liking Arctius, but also still switching use between Jerboa, Thunder and Liftoff as well.

Liftoff is pretty good as a refusal to use Reddit, but I am very much awaiting Boost for Lemmy after years of happy Boost for Reddit usage.
