I have seen the light!

You can use any client you want guys . Lemmy wins
- Probably the first comment that doesn't bash on anyone since this whole thing started.
- Lemmy winks ?

Don't forget Connect! It's probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The "About Instance" function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
- Using Connect:
- Have a link? Is it open source?
  
  It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he's cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that's worth.
  
  !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca
  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
  It's not FOSS but it's currently free and without ads.
  
  Here's a play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
- Where is the "About Instance" feature?
  
  Tap the three dots overflow menu:
  Select About Instance:
  Select View Communities:

Wait, what's wrong with Jerboa? I'm using Jerboa and it's been great so far
- Jerboa doesn't autoplay gifs (or didn't when I used it), that what made me stick to liftoff and I don't regret it.
- I've been flipping between Jerboa and liftoff. Unless I'm missing something Jerboa doesn't have the downvote arrow. Not that I ever downvote anyway. But besides that, I think I like the feel of Jerboa better.
  Sort options seem better in liftoff though (again, unless I'm missing something in Jerboa).
  I'll probably give infinity a try now because of this post.
  
  Your server (https://reddthat.com) has disabled downvotes, jerboa respects the server's settings.
  
  Jerboa definitely has a downvote button lol
- It kept crashing randomly for me.
  I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we're all Reddit refugees I presume).
  I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn't the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn't very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn't appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.
  I'd used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!
  
  I'm still waiting for Boost for Lemmy to come out. Maybe I'll try Infinity though if it's a great as you say
- it wouldn't let me post comments

Voyager (now as native app) 👨‍🍳😙👌
- Yup, feels like Apollo before 😊
- Voyager is nice, but since it's a native app I can't download pictures anymore, so I switched to infinity and got used to it...
  
  Yea the only way to do it from Voyagers native app right now is to open the link in your browser. You can hit the share button on Voyager and send the post link to your browser.
  This feature can still be added to native apps. RiF used to have a simple hold and save feature. I hope they add that feature soon. I imagine we aren't the only ones who noticed.

Ah man. Infinity just hits different.

Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).
Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can't post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.
Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I'm not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I'm used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).
Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.
And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really "work" right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it's populated when I open it, versus Sync which can't make a connection.
- What do you mean cannot post in Sync? I'm using Sync since day 1 and can post, like this comment
  
  But sync can't submit new posts yet. Only comments.
- Try connect, I recommend it highly.
- Just migrated my main account from Lemmy world, not their fault but there's too many users in that instance, which is causing downtimes too often
  
  Please excuse my maybe stupid question, but did you manage to move your account from lemmy.world to another instance? If so, would you please share how you did that?
- For what it's worth, posting from sync should be available this week.
- Sync is way too expensive if you want to get rid of ads too. I was considering paying

How many posts on this topics are gonna be, can't we put this to rest????
- Welcome to the lemmy apps great war
  
  The war has just reached a point in infinity

Was using infinity on Reddit and was waiting for a good fork for lemmy. Really feels like home now.
- Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!

I'm stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.
- Jerboa has been criticality underrated since its first or second post-exodus update. I've tried almost all of these (and Connect) and other than when .world is having issues but still reachable by Voyager, I use Jerboa.

Android only FYI anyone looking for “infinity”
- I am on android, and it isn't in my app store either.
  
  https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy it's available on f-droid, not the play store.

Where does Voyager fit into this?
- I had an hard time igonring the slight delay at animations when using it on my phone. I'm usually use it on PC though.

Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.
- sync is just a more polished app since it came from reddit. but infinity is the same, and boost will be the same too.
  chose the app you like most and support its dev.
  (posted from sync)
  
  Still have a faint hope for Relay
- For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.

Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed

I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.
Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.
- Infinity for Lemmy is out already? If that's true, you won't have to wait too long for all the features you want.

Honestly my biggest complaint is that so far only Sync seems to have a built-in browser. I don't like having things redirected to my browser.
- Infinity for Lemmy has the option to open links with an in-app browser or with an external one.
  
  Oh that's awesome! Do you know if there's a way to flip the thumbnails from the right side to the left?

I'll stick with Connect, thank you.
- I started with jerboa a few weeks ago and really wanted to like it most, but then I tried connect and never looked back, it was so good and polished before all the other apps were even barely usable. I haven't found a single issue with it so far.
  
  Connect is my favorite so far, but I can't download images or videos with it 😐 I can ask to download things, but then they just never show up. Otherwise pretty happy with it.

liftoff and infinity are great

I am using Infinity. It has been working great so far. It is one of the most themeable Lemmy clients I know of.
- Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently
  
  Is there any way to set default home screen to "subscribed" instead of "local"?
  
  It's on the Izzysoft F-Droid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy
  The source code is found at: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
  The Infinity for Lemmy sublemmy is found here: !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id
  and the developer is u/bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu
  Though the name might change since its a fork and not done by the same developer: https://lemy.lol/post/2958776
  I am either hoping for it to stay the same, or for it to change to Eternity.

How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I'm considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync's "remove ads" (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).
- I wasn't very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I've been a long time infinity user. I can't give a fair comparison since I haven't given sync too much of a chance, but here's what I like about infinity:
  FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
  nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
  multiple account support
  dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
  fairly stable
  
  Thanks for taking the time to write this. I'll give it a shot

I just can't decide between Sync and Voyager.

Rn the state of Infinity for Lemmy feels mostly complete (aside from a few expected bugs built from being a fork working with a totally different API), but besides that, the app is absolutely fire. I was a heavy IfR user in the past and it even convinced me to make an account (I was mostly a lurker) but when spez starting treating 3rd party devs like shit I gtfo there, just hoping that docille or another dev would have forked infinity and yet, here we are.

Dumb question... I went to beehaw.org on my mobile browser, and clicked "install". Which app does that mean I'm using?
- You're using your browser and the beehaw website as a PWA (progressive web app)
  
  thanks. so I guess I need to try out one of the actual-apps. Just when I thought I was keeping up with the cool kids...
- Web app

Using Infinity right now!

Y'all always forget connect

Guess you never tried Thunder
- I can't remember why I skipped thunder, I think it's because it doesn't autoplay gifs without opening it.
  Also, whenever I opened it I saw it connect to so many servers that it made me worried a bit (probably overthink it), but it's not the home screen itself because obviously liftoff for example shows the same and doesn't connect to the same servers thunder did.
  Edit: maybe liftoff pull the content from my instance while thunder take it straight from the source?
- Just tried it. Seems cool, but slightly laggy on my phone. Infinity runs butter smooth!
