I am very new to Lemmy, and I am using the Eternity app. But I am wondering which one you guys are using, and maybe there are better one’s than Eternity without me knowing

    I used boost until I saw it was sending me dark pattern ads from an ad network, to which the dev had noted they reported it, until it happened again and I moved to voyager, where I no longer have such a problem.

    Jerboa sorely lacks the absolute basic feature of searching for keywords in posts. It only supports searching for community names. I can’t think of any other app that does NOT support general search.

    So Voyager for me, mostly because it has the most active developer.

      I had to switch away from Jerboa because it would crash any time I’d create a link with custom text in my comments. I switched to Voyager and it’s on lot more stable.

      Ya, not supporting full search is weird…

      And also, there is only one font size for the whole thing, ui, comments, posts, etc… Not good…

      And other several minor things. Other then that, it is awesome.

    I use boost, I like it’s swipe view. It’s mostly just what I was using with reddit and there’s no reason to switch.

      Me too. Voyager is a fine name but there was something dumb/charming about the name Wefwef.

    Boost. I used it on Reddit, continued to use it through the mod workaround, switched to Boost for Lemmy after they shut that down yesterday, and now here I am.

      Same, but you can repatch boost for reddit to work again. Check the boost Lemmy sub, it has a pretty big post on it.

      I also use Boost.

      The only thing I think it’s missing is a seamless way to open other instances’ homepage.

      Same, boost layout is just so clean. Sad I couldn’t keep my ad free existence from the other app but guy deserves to be paid.

      I also agree with Boost. I was super bummed when it got shut down. It actually gave me the kick to join Lemmy.

    I have tried almost all clients on Android.

    Best In my opinion:

    1. Thunder
    2. Jerboa
    3. Raccoon for Lemmy
    4. Voyager

    To me thunder has the best UI and UX overall, even though I prefers the “card view” feed from Raccoon and some functions of Jerboa.

      Did you rank these in a particular order, or is it just four that you like?

      I used Jerboa when I first transitioned from Reddit, but eventually someone recommended Voyager because it is similar to the RiF app I used to use. I like the interface of Voyager more than Jerboa, and I’ve been using it for a while, but I’m still open to checking out other apps.

        In preferred order.

        Jerboa has everything you might need related to Lemmy functions, as it is the native app developed by the same Lemmy authors. But I feel the interface is not as good as Thunder’s. And as for Voyager, I dislike the interface because is reminiscent of old iPhone interfaces (even though you can change it something similar to Android). And as far as I remember Thunder’s post’s comments view is better for me. In my opinion Thunder has the better combination of Function, UI and UX.

      Do you use thunder on iPad? How do you exit from a video link, eg youtube? There is no back or X or gesture.

        I would suppose with the same gestures as the image ones but since you mention is not that then I would assume it could work with native iOS gestures? I’m sorry, do not own any Apple devices. I suggest asking on Thunder’s community or making an issue on Github.
