What app/program do you browse through Lemmy with?
Thunder has been making me feel right at home relative to Reddit, personally! [email protected]
I do the Voyager. Can't remember how I landed on it, but it works good
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.
In my heart it's still wefwef, complete with the little rainbow background lemmy.
Boost on Android

Jerboa
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
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.
Hmm, I haven't noticed any such delay. Hopefully that will get fixed.
Its prob because of my self hosted instance being iffy(goes down for a few seconds at a time because all of my cpus will go from 18% to 100% for a second sometimes, think friendica causes it), the other apps dont have issues reconnecting when it tweaks, thunder I usually have to force close a few times before it works again, thats more of a shoddyinstance issue with the app.
Firefox on all the platforms I use.
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.
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.
Just saying, I'm a huge Boost fan (donated, even) and still use its Reddit app to this day. Thunder is marvelous.
Do not use Boost, it is tracking you and selling your data.
Use Jerboa or another trackingless alternative
The app clearly explains that there are two options: a free version with ads and tracking or a paid version with no tracking or ads. Myself and lots of other users are happy to pay the developer for their work, and enjoy Boost with zero tracking or data selling.
If you prefer other apps, or if you only use FOSS, then don't use Boost. It is not and has never claimed to be FOSS. But for me, it's a great app, and having tried 10+ other lemmy clients, I was happy to pay for Boost. I just much prefer the ui and don't think it's wrong to pay a few bucks to a developer who makes an app I like.
Summit. It's the best
Agree, and I have tested a bunch of them so far. It's just so clean!
Voyager on iOS, Firefox on PC
Voyager app in Android, vger.app on my laptop
Huh, didn't know it has a web platform! Thanks for sharing.
Surprised I'm the first to say Eternity
@[email protected] mentioned it, so you're the 2nd.
I just prefer to use something recent if possible; Eternity was last updated in August versus Thunder, just this month, in F-Droid. It looks probably fine, though.
I’m also in voyager.
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.
Connect here. I like how It feels.
Old reddit/mlmym on desktop and Sync on Android for me.
The standard Lemmy Web UI on desktop. Eternity on Android.
Mlem (TestFlight version)
How do you get the TestFlight version?
I think it’s linked in the Mlem community? I actually can’t remember lol. Maybe it’s on the GitHub???
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.
PieFed in Firefox on the desktop and Chrome on Android, because this way I can make it full screen there.
Firefox in Linux.
Eternity (infinity for Lemmy)
Boost baby!
Launch the rocket! 🚀
Eternity
I tried a few and settled on Voyager. I like it a lot.
Wish I could have used Thunder but it didn't support older phones (think it was related to something about a certificate with Flutter???). I just use Connect now and customized it to be how Baconreader was for me. Been a great app so far.
It's so cool to see so many different ways to experience Lemmy.
Been using Connect, and currently trying Summit (very nice interface).
I might give Thunder a try.
Thanks for recommending summit! So much better than Raccoon.
I didn't even know raccoon existed.
But I love that Lemmy has so many options.
Currently on mbin
Raccoon
Eternity which is based on Infinity for Reddit.
Sync
Arctic on iOS.
Photon or tesseract (for admin stuff) on PC, thunder on mobile.
Connect. It feels like RIF
one i wrote myself in rust
"Impressive." - Darth Vader
it does render post comments at full depth (so all of them) in about 60% of the time of JS frameworks
that equates to a fraction of a second on most computers but it really does work better than the others. you can only really tell on massive posts with over 300 comments
ooh actually the other good feature is that from a cold start (empty window) it will render the page on the server side which means the page displays much quicker. the JS frameworks normally load the skeleton/engine first and then load the data and render the page
Summit.
Boost, Jerboa and Racoon. The latter two from F-Droid.
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.
Oh, no wonder I couldn't find that option; it doesn't exist yet!
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.
Title gore galore.
How would you have worded it? I wanted to cover all the bases lol.
