    Considering this is the FOSS sub maybe the people suggesting Boost and Sync might want to suggest something else… It’s like people suggesting dairy cheddar for someone asking for a good lactose free cheese 🥲

    But yeah, Jerboa is a popular client and one of the OGs as far as I know.

    I personally enjoy Jerboa which is AGPL-3 and has a very sleek interface while being cross platform. Also felt a lot more complete than Jerboa did back when I tried it in July but im sure both are more similar nowadays

    I use Connect and I’ve liked it. being able to block communities I don’t want in my feed is easy and I get the impression that other apps don’t have this feature. I can also block posts by keywords which is also nice not having to see post after post about Elon or furries

      You’re in the wrong community. Boost is not open source. Fwiw I also like Boost.

    Eternity, hands down the best,

    open source = no ads or tracking

    very cutomisable, smooth navigation, no major bugs. + supports older phones

      Does it mark read on scroll? I checked it out early but it seemed to lack that feature.

      For me it’s very buggy, although I still like it the most.

      You can’t change the default comment sort though.

    Jerboa, it’s kind of ugly but, yk, never change a running system. Just works.

        what

        how did this go from “use jerboa it’s pretty good” to something about racism

      Best UI out of all the clients I’ve tested! Snappy and the haptics make it feel really great.

      Does it still have that bug where it disconnects you when it doesn’t find the network?

        I think its fixed because I haven’t encountered it in a long time. I recommend pulling Thunder right from GitHub using Obtainium instead of using fdroid. More frequent updates.

        Apparently that’s boilerplate supplied by Google for anything that uses their ad network, which boost does. That disclosure is mandatory for any country that falls under the GDPR umbrella. There’s a post from the developer explaining this over in the boost sub - Boost doesn’t collect this data, the admob network does. If you pay to remove ads admob isn’t even loaded.

    I used Jerboa, but found it clunky. Voyager provides a much nicer experience. I come from having used redreader, so I guess voyager provided a similar experience.

    I like Connect, but Jeroba and Liftoff are pretty decent too. Thunder is pretty good too.
