Sync. I would use thunder, but it currently cannot do some very basic shit like messaging threads with specific users.

Once they add that feature I'll probably switch to thunder full time.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, no wonder I couldn't find that option; it doesn't exist yet!

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Thunder is better in pretty much every other way though. Just need them to implement a way to have direct messages with people is all.

I do the Voyager. Can't remember how I landed on it, but it works good

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

I only remember switching to Voyager because I was having problems with images and other such things loading when I was using Jerboa when I first jumped ship to Lemmy.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 days ago

In my heart it's still wefwef, complete with the little rainbow background lemmy.

[–] Pixelotes@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Connect here. I like how It feels.

Thunder has become my main, has the least issues for me, been meaning to customize arctic since its a bit quicker being native. Thunder will sometimes take a bit to post a comment.

Love jerboa. It was rough at first but the bugs got worked out pretty quick. Now it's perfect, all the features I need and nothing that I dont

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Firefox on all the platforms I use.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago

Same! "open in new tab", history, and bookmarking are the big winners for me. I have Jerboa just to see what things look like on another platform tho.

Voyager, because it was the most mature and feature complete app available when I left Reddit and I don’t fancy switching again without good reason.

It was a bit of a learning curve initially, coming from RiF, but I’m used to it now and rarely encounter any issues.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I’m also in voyager.

[–] PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I use Boost. I tried a few others, and wanted to pick an open source option, but I never found one with UI I was satisfied with.

Agree, and I have tested a bunch of them so far. It's just so clean!

I actually still use Boost for Reddit because it's so incredible and unbeatable (especially for moderating), but I decided to lean more open-source otherwise.

[–] MP3Martin@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Same, patched with ReVanced

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh, what does patching it do?

[–] MP3Martin@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Allow me to use Boost for Reddit after the API changes

Edit: or you probably mean Boost for Lemmy

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't need to patch it; you just need to be a mod of a subreddit. I've had no problem continuing with using regular Boost for Reddit post-API restriction, as a mod in various places.

[–] MP3Martin@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It stopped working for me, so I just patched it instead of moderating a sub

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 2 points 19 hours ago

Fair, whatever works!

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Voyager app in Android, vger.app on my laptop

Just the web interface for me - it does everything I want, so I have an instance of Firefox on my phone dedicated to social media, with always open tabs for Lemmy, Discuit, Tildes and Pixelfed.

Was using connect for nearly two years but more and more issues are being introduced and old ones not solved despite a few updates this last month. So currently I have moved over to Voyager, I prefer the way connect is laid out etc but Voyager actually works and as a bonus I can moderate from it.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Boost baby!

Launch the rocket! 🚀
