Sync
Voyager. Closest (so far) to Apollo UI.
Apollo is dead, right?
Yea, sadly. You can open the app to hear some music and get a link to the merch store. It also unlocks an extra in the developer’s other app, pixel pals. But no browsing
Another vote for Voyager. It’s available on f-droid, looks good, has a gesture-driven UI (but menu backups), and clocks in at a 12mb download. I try others, but keep coming back to Voyager.
On desktop, I’m using LiftOff, and it’s alright. I’m still waiting for a decent (any!) terminal client.
BOOOOOOOOST
Boost has been my go to for Reddit, and now also for Lemmy. Best app ever.
Second this
Isn’t boost still in development? Is there a beta channel somewhere?
Just sign up as a tester here - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy
The app literally just updated and it says it is Boost v1.0. I was signed up and using it as a beta tester for the last week or so.
Ah nice!

Seconded.
just wanted to point out how amazing it is to have so many high quality choices for Lemmy apps when theres only 40,000 active monthly users! And how the uptime has improved over the last month…
Sync for Lemmy is my daily-driver, but I also use the pwa (Voyager/wefwef), Liftoff, and Connect.
Yep, 4 apps for browsing Lemmy with, and I love them all for different reasons. I’ve used Sync for years and had no problem paying to get rid of ads - so many hours of entertainment have been facilitated by Sync, and I appreciate that enough to pay for it.
What’s the differences between them that causes you to use 4? I personally use liftoff myself
Nothing super dramatic, honestly. I’m really happy with the level of polish/finish in S4L, and the rate of releases that the dev has been keeping up since moving to Lemmy. I really didn’t use reddit without Sync (or RES if on PC), so it just feels right given how similar the platforms are. Sometimes I just want to change it up without spending any time in settings menus.
Also, sometimes I just feel like looking at the vaporwave-dark theme in the Voyager pwa. I haven’t used Liftoff much since Sync came out, but I did a lot of app-hopping when I first got here and I guess the habit stuck!
I’m trying out sync now and so far loving it
Sync, I’ve used it for years on reddit and am quite used to it.
Liftoff. Just a plain, minimal, and stable experience.
Same, I settled on liftoff. Had Jeroba, Connect and Liftoff when I first migrated over but like Liftoff the best.
Jerboa is still my choice. Thunder is good but is slow at times, I used to be Infinity for Reddit user but I’ve become enamored with MD3.
Jerboa, fits me so far.
Me too, such a great app. I tried others and were not good for me.
I tried it back in June but it seemed like it was down every other day. I switched to Connect and haven’t had any issues, so I’ve stuck with it. I’m glad to hear Jerboa recovered because it was a nice experience when it would work.
Boost. Loved it when I was still using reddit. Am really happy to be able to use it again for Lemmy.
Personally, Jerboa
It reminds me a lot of BaconReader for Reddit
I use Jerboa too, and as a former BaconReader user I agree it feels somewhat similar
Sync for now, I’ll give Boost a shot when it’s 1.0.
Using Connect for now and it’s working well for me
Been using it a couple of months, think I’ll stick with it as long as I am on lemmy
Boost just dropped so I’m giving that an honest try, so far it seems great. Connect is the alternative I’ve been using for some time.
Boost is a lot smoother, which makes sense since it’s had years to mature, but it’s missing some Lemmy specific features still. Connect has the features, but it’s less polished.
Both are likely to improve more, and I’ll likely use Boost moving forward, but I do have some concerns about if the ads trackers go away when I pay to remove them
