I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

    I’m a bit sad that my favorite (Infinity/Eternity) isn’t that high up. Loved it since my Reddit days. Tried different clients: Lemmy, thunder, liftoff, sync,… still like this the most!

    Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they’re taking a break though and I just need to be patient

    I’ll go for boost now. I keep back and forth between boost, sync and eternity but the end I feel home with boost.

    I hope jerboa (OG client) will be better.

    Have tried out quite a few of the apps (was stuck the longest with Voyager, it’s awesome) - but I tend to come back to Jerboa ever so often - may be because it is the oldest Android client for Lemmy, so probably the most tried and tested.

    I kinda like the vintage look of Jerboa (and the cool icon) - so as soon as Jerboa gets its search feature enhanced (right now it just searches for communities, not posts or comments - but I hear that work is in progress) - Jerboa will become the best Lemmy app out there, at least for me.

    Closing in on 10 years of Sync (Reddit/Lemmy). I’m too used to it to switch things around. The only time I’m using the mobile website is when I need to use spoilers.

    On desktop, I switch between default, Photon and Alexandrite.

      Alexandrite is everything the Reddit desktop redesign should’ve been. How they managed to fuck that up is beyond me.

    Is there some kind of comparison between these clients? Ideally, I’d want a web client with more customizability than the default one - in particupar, I’d like to be able to set the default view to show subscribed communities instead of the local ones. As I’m running my own instance, I don’t have much in terms of local content

      I’m trying it right now in my smartphone! The design looks better than Jerboa, now I’m testing intuitiveness and ease of use

    Almost all of Syncs business model is ads. The free version has ads and almost everyone who pays for it is doing so to remove ads. Which is just rewarding the implementation of ads. I also disagree with the concept of profiting from free user content with ads like Reddit does. Which was Reddits primary goal of preventing third party apps. They wanted the ad revenue themselves instead of third parties getting the ad revenue.

    The only way this can be acceptable is to not have a free ad version and only have a paid version. That way you are paying for software and not paying to remove ads or profiting from free user content.

      I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

      I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

      The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best
