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'm using sync, not to sure about tbh

Back and forth between jerboa and Voyager. No reason why both, I just do.

Mobile browser because I have more control over what gets left behind on my device. I don't really trust apps, I don't like putting other people's code on my device unless I can review it, it's a trust thing and as a q ฯ… ั” ั” ั American I'd like to have a as little that could potentially be spying on my as possible in life.

Same here. I tried Boost and didn't like it. Eternity works just fine.

Mlem on iPhone - I like it best

[โ€“] Mateogrande@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Just deleted my Wefwef icon today. Replaced with the app version of Voyager.

I am using boost for lemmy for some time now and am very happy with that app. I've tried jerboa, summit and thunder before but they felt somewhat incomplete at the time I used them.

Does the simple webversion count? I am using the qwant browser on android.

[โ€“] fastfinge@rblind.com 4 points 2 days ago

Thunder, because it works best with accessibility features like VoiceOver and TalkBack: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder

I use lemmy via mbin in the app interstellar.

At first I used Jerboa, after some time it didn't work anymore with my old instance. I switched to Voyager for a long time, switched instances as my old one got abandoned and defunct from the owner. After some time Voyager didn't work anymore with my new instance and now I am using Raccoon.

I use Boost the most, mainly because I used the reddit version for so long and liked that. I love being able to easily block keywords, users, communities, etc. which keeps my feed tidy. I also like that if I've read a post already, I don't see it again in my feed. It feels easy to find communities, as well. I'm sure most of the popular apps are just as good, but this one suits me best. I sometimes also use Jerboa with another account, just so I'm not putting my eggs in one basket. I have tried Connect, too, which also seems really good.

Sadly, my Boost for Reddit app finally stopped working yesterday. I think someone has posted a solution somewhere, but I'm tempted to just give up on reddit now.

I agree with the blocking one thing I miss is blocking by domains to filter out posts from known misinformation sources.

Summit! And love it.

[โ€“] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'm using Lemmy connect and I find it... Not great. It doesn't tell me when I have responses. I mean at all. I don't allow push notifications. But my inbox is empty so I look at "read messages" and there's tons there that I've never seen.

Also when user post only a pic in their response, you can't upvote it without carefully touching their tiny name with your fat thumb to reveal the buttons. And when you touch a longer post you are reading to scroll you often close it? And the tree system/order of responses and what is collapsed vs not and where they uncollapse to is unpredictable and at the very least, very what I expect...

I guess I should not use this one....

I came from reddit a few years back and was a staunch baconreader user.

Eternity for lemmy has been wonderful.

any "beef" I have is with content/community which are getting better and not related to the client I use.

[โ€“] Matt@lemdro.id 2 points 2 days ago

I used Thunder for a long time, but I have been giving Arctic a try lately and like it. I will likely give Mlem another shot after the next update. Voyager is another great one, but I have not used it for a while.

Overall, there are a lot of great Lemmy apps and I love that most of them did not get abandoned after the initial wave from the Reddit exodus died down. I think we have more high-quality Lemmy apps than there were for Reddit.

I currently browse around through Quiblr

[โ€“] megane_kun@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I've bounced around several clients (mobile) and frontends (web) especially when I first started. I've eventually settled on Voyager (mobile) and Alexandrite (web frontend).

Voyager has a lot of neat features that makes browsing Lemmy on mobile smooth and an overall nice experience. It's got swipe gestures (configurable, but mine has long swipe left to upvote, long swipe left to save, short swipe right to downvote, and long swipe right to reply). There's also a feature to tag a user, and to keep track of votes (in aggregate, so I wouldn't know if I give a user an upvote in one thread, and a downvote in another, yielding a net zero, or I just haven't given that user a vote at all). Still a nice set of features. There might be more that I have yet to discover and use.

Alexandrite, on the other hand, presents a really good desktop experience. There's an option to have the posts (on my feed, or a community) on the left side of the screen and the post I'm reading on the right, which is great if I am just scanning a my feed, deciding if I want to take a closer look at a post. I end up mostly just using this mode most of the time.

Both Voyager and Alexandrite allow me to switch between my Lemmy accounts easily, which is a great plus if you're having a handful of accounts (for different purposes, like one main, another for NSFW, etc).

IMO, the clients (for mobile) have a lot of competition going on, and I wouldn't be surprised if I find a different one I'd like better. Just keep an eye out for those, I guess?

[โ€“] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Summit, it's the best.

[โ€“] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

For me, it's a close race between Boost and Connect.
