Voyager seems to be the second most used client, according to poll

Team Avelon

Oooh, shiny. Thanks for the suggestion, it’s beautiful

Adding my thanks for the suggestion too - avelon looks great! I started with Memmy and I moved on to Voyager and Lemmios. Both are great but both have problems. Loving avelon so far!!

Avelon is phenomenal. Especially the hide bars on scroll feature. No other app has this. I wonder if it’s hard to develop? I remember the developer of Apollo had quite a few bugs with it in the beginning.

At least on iOS, I prefer Avelon the best as it's the most iOS native feeling app. A close second for me on iOS is Mlem. Both I still use from their betas, but both are now in the App Store as well, go give them a try if anyone hasn't already!

maybe its a settings thing but for me voyager keeps showing me posts i've already seen even they should be marked as read, while avelon keeps showing me new stuff. otherwise they are both wonderful.

You could argue that 25% for sync is quite something, and almost double that of the next largest competitor.

This can be blessing and a curse.

This reminded me of high quality gifs sub (I don't remember the exact name)

I'm also a former boost user, for now I'm using liftoff

I use Voyager PWA myself it's pretty good

I like both, and I say use what you're comfortable with.

Eh, Jerboa is okay, but the typing is janky. I might switch away from it just for that reason.

here, here!

What is link preview? Coz that was always a feature no? Or am I misunderstanding?

The $20 to go ad free was worth it to me 🤷🏽 Sync is just too good

Where are the ads? I've not seen one, and I don't have any ad blockers enabled..

any updates on boost? I've been ootl for a while

I tried Voyager, but just couldn’t get over the inverted vote colors. Couldn’t find a theme that had it “right”.

I always wondered why I couldn't log in using Voyager either. I also use an auto generated password from my password manager, could be related to lengths or a certain special character.

I also had problems logging in with sync. For me, it was the instance input.

Somehow, after i filled out the instance, username & password inputs, the form blanked the instance name when submitting.

I didn't notice at first.

Entering the instance name again made it work.

My password is >!long!< too, but idk if it's as long as yours

I was the only one who voted for bean on the poll at the time.

I'm on Sync, waiting for Boost !!

In my F-Droid, there's plenty of other! Eternity, Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, Voyager, Lemmur and Combustible when I search for "Lemmy". Maybe you don't have all/the same repositories enabled? I'm using Liftoff at the moment, which is great so far, but I haven't settled yet. I want to try using some of the other ones before I'm sure. For reddit I used Joey, and I would consider switching to Joey for Lemmy if it existed.

Voyager is basically a clone of Apollo, with support for both Android's and iOS's UI styles. Apollo was one of the best Reddit experiences, and it often won awards every year. Also, Voyager is pretty damn polished, it's super reliable, and it has one of the most complete Lemmy feature sets.

If you're an Android user who has never used Apollo, it's worth a look to see what all the hype was about. If you're on iOS and miss Apollo, Voyager is kind of a no brainer.

Only problem is that the app and play store builds still don't have push notifications implemented. Also no mod tools quite yet.

I just installed it to try it out and I can’t get it to work. Enabled it in settings but no matter what I try it either won’t navigate back to where I was or it tries to do the normal swipe gestures instead

Edit: I might’ve misunderstood the purpose of the setting. I just want an app that lets me swipe from the right to return to the last post I was looking at :(

I swipe left from anywhere in Voyager and it brings me back a panel no problem. I’m also able to use the swipe gestures on comments to interact with the comments. I was not able to get both happening in Avelon — either swipe to go back or swipe to interact. Am I doing something wrong?

Only one that's tablet friendly. But as a contributor of that feature, I'm biased a bit.

Thunder did have Sentry.io tracking, but it seems to have been removed. I'm going to try it.

Lemmy's default web UI?

It's barebones and not the most readable. Clearly designed for the desktop browser experience, which is never going to be the dominant way of using Lemmy.

But my biggest issue with it is that it defaults to the worst feed and sorting algorithm Lemmy has. Every time I load the page, it is back to the "local" feed, sorted by "active" even if I've changed my account settings.

It actually has, if you scroll down to the bottom there are plenty of users stating default UI plus some plugin.

Somehow didn't know about it before I saw this poll! It's the best (and FOSS). It runs seamlessly, unlike others I've tried, and has crazy customization.

Na, there was a poll up for a few hours that resulted in these results.

Dabs in Sync

I like Thunder too but I find Voyager, Eternity, and Sync are way smoother

Having Thunder and Eternity, i find myself coming back to thunder less and less.

Use the home feed (press back until you get to the list of communities)

Posts Tab > click the orange "Home" icon at the top of the page.

Maybe give Sync a try, it also hides the app bars on scroll and features a very clean and intuitive UI

As a sync user of a few years, it's important that we don't bring down other apps while raising our own up. It's a good thing there's healthy competition! Sync is great, but that doesn't mean that other apps aren't.

I'm liking sync, but would like it to be free software

Sync isn’t on iPhone. I wish Apollo was adapted for Lemmy
