Voyager: https://vger.app/. Also available as an Android and iOS app.
Been using voyager for a while and haven’t found a reason to change.
I second voyager. It’s what i’m using on iOS now.
Sync for Lemmy: /c/syncforlemmy
I love sync and it’s been my go to app for a decade across reddit and Lemmy, but I find it’s advertising and pro features far more frustrating now than ever before.
The dev also takes long breaks but I don’t mind this as his work while he’s active is really really good and fast.
If you already use revanced manager for YouTube or other apps, there is an ad free patch for an older version of sync which has an easy APK to seek out, which is recommend.
Boost!
Great custom options. From the colored split of comments and the option to customize colors of font of title and content. (Much easier to read upon scroll).
Answer is always Boost
U betcha!
Yep it’s the best one
Indeed
There is no best. My recommendation is to download a bunch, then uninstall them one by one until you end up with the one that you like best. I settled on my favorite, and I had to give up some great apps with great features to get there. What do you value in a forum-style app?
I did that. Kept jerboa.
Just tried it again. Feels good. I might run them in tandem for a bit.
That is exactly what I did haha. Ended up with Eternity.
That’s what I use. Didn’t want to influence your decision, but there’s no harm in revealing it after the fact. I do feel like I missed out on some cool features from the other apps I tried, but Eternity was the complete package.
Me too
For android, Sync is excellent, I even bought it, so no ads.
Sync is amazing. Not FOSS, but amazing nonetheless!
I’m also happy with Sync. I paid as well.
Boost for lemmy. No contest. Nice, clean unique and smooth UI, better discoverability and seems built by a person who cared than a person who stole from a 2013 android app wrapper and pasted the lemmy website
I dig Jerboa. It’s my favorite free Lemmy app.
I personally like Thunder. Jerboa felt too limited for me.
Voyager looks and feels like Apollo did. Fuck reddit, btw.
Boost for Android, or Voyager on iOS. These are definitely my choices, after extensive use
Boost!
This is what I use for both.
Boost coming to Lemmy is what got me to try Lemmy.
Been using voyager on iOS since nearly day 1. Seems fine. Might be better ones out there.
Been using voyager too, made the jump to Lemmy easier when Apollo shut down.
Voyager for a good app that has an iOS look. Jerboa uses Material design, if you prefer that, but to doesn’t work as well.
Idk if jerboa even has instance blocking in app yet. I switched to Voyager because it seemed always behind.
Jerboa’s instance blocking is actually one of the few ways it works better than Voyager, letting you block instances directly from the post dropdown rather than needing to go two menus deep into settings.
Shoot, I guess it was worth the wait even though I didn’t.
FWIW, Voyager has a Material-Design inspired alternative look that can be enabled in the settings.
Yeah, but it doesn’t look very good. Not compared to something like Jerboa or any other native Android app made with Material You.
I know enough people that hate Material Design 3, or even just the Monet component, so I’ll leave that for everyone to decide for themselves.
Check out !lemmyapps@lemmy.world, which has information about recent releases, features, etc.
Jerboa and Raccoon if you love FOSS
Sync If you don’t care about FOSS
I’m new, what does FOSS stand for? I’m currently using Sync.
Free and Open Source Software
I started with Connect and kept it because it’s very much like Bacon Reader. Haven’t had the need to try others.
