    From my experience Photon is the best web client, Eternity is the best Android client and Voyager or Mlem seem to be the best iOS client. In the free and open source side.

    I don’t wanna use proprietary client for the fediverse if great FOSS alternative exists.

    But here are some proprietary client that looks great in my opinion Connect for Android and Arctic for iOS.

      Me too but it’s semi-broken right now and hasn’t had an update in a long time. I really don’t want to switch, though.

          There’s a major incompatibility with newer versions of the Lemmy software where Sync shows a comment count but cannot display the comments. So at the moment I can’t see any comments from posts hosted on sh.itjust.works. I know that there’s other less severe issues too (I think spoilers are semi-broken in some instances).

          The summary updates don’t work for 90+% of posts (idk if the feature is available for free users - wanted to support development and bought the lifetime membership).

          Also I persistently get a notification that there are no messages to return. I can’t seem to get rid of it.

          I’m sure there’s other stuff, but these are the ones that I notice.

        I don’t want to switch either. Pretty sure the Reddit shit just ruined all the motivation for the developer. He probably lost a huge source of income too

        I wish I could say I was surprised. The sync dev fucked me in a premium reddit license years ago when they invalidated the existing licenses and made people pay again for the premium to keep having it on reddit.

        Glad I went with voyager over them.

            I paid because it had been a good app and I wanted to support the dev. But I won’t make that mistake for them again.

    I actually found out about this a few days ago. I suddenly kept getting errors and found out the app i used, Boost, hadn’t been updated in almost a year… Now running Voyager. How did i not notice? No idea.

    Boost was my favourite client to use back on the reddit days. I migrated to lemmy before boost was announced for lemmy, but man it’s a big help having it.

      Mobile apps that have “died” - Voyager still lives on, stronger.

      By died, it means no longer being maintained.

    Still using Sync here, what exactly am I missing out on? Tried voyager years ago but coming from Reddit and using Sync for that, it was a pretty natural jump.

        I’ll have you know that I switched to thunder because of your comment. Perhaps I had customized Sync a lot but it’s taking a bit getting used to the interface.

      It hasn’t been updated in quite awhile, and I have heard some Lemmy features are still broken - I think some types of inline images and markdown mainly, and some upcoming api changes may break it completely in the nearish future.

      I was in the same boat; I’ve been using sync for years. Recently, I’ve definitely noticed issues with certain instances and comment sections. Search was also completely broken. According to what I’ve read, it appears to be a version mismatch issue. Since sync hasn’t been updated in a year, I’ve cancelled my subscription and moved over to Summit.

        Guess I’m the 3rd. Jerboa has been flawless for me, I feel like.

        Idk, maybe Voyager is good to, looks fine. I might check it out if I run into a reason to try it.

      It has been great and is the UI that I want to use however it has slowly been slipping downhill over the last year and a half. That last update from this week has fucked more things than it fixed and introduced new issues as well.

      I want it to be great. I want it to work properly but the dev is barely active popping in every 6 months or so to drop an update that might make it better but probably make it worse. It was a better app experience 18 months ago, that’s for sure.

      I’ve moved over to trying Voyager because of all this and it is the closest to connect I can find so far.
