    There is no best. My recommendation is to download a bunch, then uninstall them one by one until you end up with the one that you like best. I settled on my favorite, and I had to give up some great apps with great features to get there. What do you value in a forum-style app?

      I love sync and it’s been my go to app for a decade across reddit and Lemmy, but I find it’s advertising and pro features far more frustrating now than ever before.

      The dev also takes long breaks but I don’t mind this as his work while he’s active is really really good and fast.

      If you already use revanced manager for YouTube or other apps, there is an ad free patch for an older version of sync which has an easy APK to seek out, which is recommend.

    Boost for lemmy. No contest. Nice, clean unique and smooth UI, better discoverability and seems built by a person who cared than a person who stole from a 2013 android app wrapper and pasted the lemmy website

    Voyager for a good app that has an iOS look. Jerboa uses Material design, if you prefer that, but to doesn’t work as well.

        Jerboa’s instance blocking is actually one of the few ways it works better than Voyager, letting you block instances directly from the post dropdown rather than needing to go two menus deep into settings.

        Yeah, but it doesn’t look very good. Not compared to something like Jerboa or any other native Android app made with Material You.

          I know enough people that hate Material Design 3, or even just the Monet component, so I’ll leave that for everyone to decide for themselves.

    Boost for Android, or Voyager on iOS. These are definitely my choices, after extensive use

    Eternity was great, but it’s likely abandoned now. I switched to voyager. And this is a nice clean app. No complaints from me.

    Worth noting that I tried all the available apps from the lemmy app list. And I’ve worked them down to 3 liftoff, eternity and voyager. Two of these are abandoned now.

      Since you tried them all, what is your take on summit? I mostly use it when not at a pc, smoke breaks, travel between places.

        Last tim I tried Summit, was months ago but to tell you the truth. It was one of my favorites! it’s definietly better than thunder and boost. One app that i can compare it with is Eternity and Connect. The reason why it did not reside in my top three is because of my preference, there is a feel to an app that i am looking for, I really cannot describe it, I did not feel it with summit, but Eternity had it. But technically speaking. Summit is one of the very good apps for Lemmy, you will not regret it if you choose to use it.

        to be frank, Voyager is the least of my three. Eternity did have all i was looking for, unfortunately it seems that it has been abandoned.
