Title + Why you like that client?
I am using eternity from some hours and my fav is liftoff.
Using Connect, it was the second app I tried during the time there were a lot of connection issues with Jerboa (the errors weren’t their fault, but they weren’t handled as gracefully as I would’ve liked at the time). No complaints really, so I’ve stuck with it.
I’m using combustible for now, it kinda suits my needs, simple and smooth. You can get it on izzyondroid repo or gh.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Connect.
It’s an all-new app, and not just some dev’s existing Reddit app wrapped around Lemmy.
And it’s free with no tracking, no ads, and no crazy $100 pricetag to remove ads for a social network that’s still on somewhat shaky ground.
I used Jerboa and Liftoff, but now I’m on Connect and I’ll stick with it.
I love connect. I used sync for a bit and it’s great too but I fully switched to connect now
I love Connect too!
Sync by a country mile
I’ve used a bunch but I like thunder the most. Jerboa is nice and emojis work best on it, but I like the general look and feel of thunder the most. Eternity is nice but its too buggy for me in its current state.
Boost just launched today. Loved it for Reddit
Boost gang!
The big turn off on eternity is that videos doesn’t play automatically (not sure its hidden inside the 100s of options to tweak the UI). Boost supports viewing videos directly.
Thats great news! I wonder if I have to buy it again.
The ad-supported free option is still there. But yeah, if you want premium, you’ll need to buy again.
Thunder
Jerboah actually. Its the most complete, stable and looks very good. Used Thunder but it lacks features and is kinda buggy. I was hyped about Infinity, but I only really needed Infinity to have private subscriptions and multi accounts, which I dont have on Lemmy.
Jerboa doesn’t have proper search functionality.
So search by text? Is there an app that has it?
I mean its search is limited to finding communities and we can’t really search for posts, users or comments using keywords. Sadly, among FOSS apps only eternity has a decent search functionality but it’s still under development and lil buggy. Liftoff does categorize searches but doesn’t have the functionality of searching within communities. So far only Boost, Sync and Connect seem to have it and none of them is open source.
Very interesting! I will give Eternity another chance.
Boost - Mainly because is what I used on reddit

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 only searched for apps in F-droid and my favourite is Voyager. Just love the full black interface with blue highlights and the swipe actions. I tried liftoff and thunder, but came back to voyager.
There was a poll a week ago and it reached over 6000 votes. That won’t answer Why, but you get a general idea which clients people use.
It needs to be updated to include Boost… maybe in a couple of weeks…
How liftoff is so far down on that list baffles me
I used Liftoff for quite a while. It just stopped working one day about 3-ish weeks ago. Couldn’t ever get it to work again. I might be an outlier, but if others had the same experience it may explain it.
That’s a shame, well I guess I’ll keep using it till it stops working. Then I would probably be switching back to Eternity as I used to use Infinity
Same here my fav client
Thanks btw ur client
I’m using Eternity, because I used Infinity for Reddit before and it’s just the most familiar client for me.
That was before boost was released. I bet it’ll look different now.
Unless people value their data and won’t use boost
They’re using sync. I think that has the same issues
Boost for Lemmy just released, works great so far!
Perhaps biased because I’m so used to Boost for Reddit
I just started using it an hour ago and I already paid the $3.50 for ad free (one time purchase, by the way) and I’m uninstalling all other apps I was trying. Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, Connect… All dead to me. 😆
Jerboa, it’s kind of ugly but, yk, never change a running system. Just works.
last time people thought that we tried disenfranchising non white men
what
how did this go from “use jerboa it’s pretty good” to something about racism
Eternity which is a fork of Infinity for Reddit. I’ve been using Infinity for ages so I really love Eternity
Eternity. I was using infinity for years for reddead and having an in-situ replacement is nice.
