Hi everyone! I recently switched from Reddit and I’m still getting used to Lemmy.
I’m looking for an Android client that feels as close as possible to the Reddit experience: a clean feed, smooth gestures, easy community switching and strong user expirience.
I’ve seen many options (Voyager, Thunder, Jerboa, Summit, Raccoon, Interstellar) and I’m not sure which one to pick. Open source is a plus for me.
What do you use, and why? Any pros and cons from daily use would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
This is very subjective. What I did?
Install ALL THE CLIENTS, login to each. Use them for a bit, try out the features you think you’ll be doing the most. Feel out what each of them do best. Keep the one(s) you like best. 👍
Best of luck!
I just use the web version, works best for me. That being said, I do like Voyager and Jerboa.
I’m liking Summit quite a bit
👍
Only one I’ve found so far without annoying bugs in it.
Surprised that I haven’t seen it posted already, but connect feels like joey for reddit. Tried the other app people are talking about, but at least for me, connect feels the most intuitive.
Same. Connect is great
i use Summit, it’s good, are others better ? no idea and haven’t needed to change because Summit’s good
I used Jerboa way back when it was the only option.
Have a paid copy of Boost which is also good.
I’m probably the only neanderthal left using Sync. I
No I’m over here, been using Sync after I moved here with the initial third party client ban
There’s a whole 2 of us
Try boost :)
I used RiF (Reddit is Fun) in the before times. When that got shut down I switched to Lemmy and used Jerboa. I can’t remember why (maybe something broke) but I switched to Voyager and have been quite happy. I’ve found out “there’s an option for that” multiple times when there was a particular feature I didn’t like.
Fuck Spez
Thanks for the recommendations!
I’ve been using connect since I switched from reddit to Lemmy some 5 odd years ago or so, and the experience has been quite underwhelming with regular bugs coming and going and I’m really kinda done with it. I’ll try voyager!
I think I used connect for a bit and it didn’t stick for me.
Blorp! Blorp! Blorp!
(No but seriously there is an app called Blorp that I enjoy, can be found on F-Droid)
Summit and boost (from dev who made the one for reddit) are my favorite
