Sync all the way.

[-] alianne@lemmy.world 64 points 11 months ago

Sync! It's what I used on Reddit, and having it here made switching platforms so much smoother.

It has all platforms - Web, PWA, iOS and Android.

It is free and open source. No tracking and no ads.

Boost (the best social app ever) & Jerboa (simple, lightweight alternative).

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Boost gang! 🚀🚀

[-] idebugonprod@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 months ago

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Boost is. It's the only android Reddit app that I will acknowledge, and it's the only client that got me into Lemmy.

[-] FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Has to be Boost.

Memmy (on iOS).

Astoundingly good for solo effort at sub v1.0.

[-] narwhalperson 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah. It’s my favorite at the moment, but it doesn’t seem well maintained

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

The github is active again! Looks like the dev is back from their break

I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.

On Android, former Relay for Reddit user.

Right now I have SEVEN lemmy apps on my home screen as I figure out which I like best. So far I keep going back to Sync the most.

Boost's animations suck. It takes too long to show the post list after swiping away an image and the whole screen goes black, it's a bit jarring.

Liftoff works well but it's ugly.

Jerboa isn't very customizable and the post list doesn't feel dense enough.

Voyager literally does not tell you what instance the community you're viewing is on.

I haven't touched Thunder in a while but I see they've updated quite a bit with a lot more customization. I remember older versions being nice, so I'll give it a try again.

Connect is about the same as Liftoff, works well but kinda ugly. Admittedly not as ugly though.

[-] AngryDemonoid@lemmy.lylapol.com 7 points 11 months ago

That issue with Boost may be device dependent. It is only a split second of black for me on an S23. But, i agree it should just be better no matter the device.

For Voyager, there is a setting to show the instance.

Nothing comes close to Sync Ultra. It's software designed by the Internet gods themselves aka @ljdawson.

[-] danque@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

With the highest one time payment for ad removal and a subscription service for extra features. No thanks, but enjoy it please.

Boost can display new comments in a different color. I don't know how I lived without that feature for so long. Any other apps that can do that?

Last time I used Connect and Voyager (a few weeks ago) they couldn't do that. They were nice otherwise, but Boost seems to do everything they do and more.

[-] PurpleTentacle@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago

Boost is the reason I'm contributing to this community.

[-] redbr64@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Posted from Boost!

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Jeroba. It's good enough for me.

Eternity, I came from infinity, so it's the only choice for me

[-] aliostraat@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago
[-] OrekiWoof@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 months ago

tried Jerboa at first but it was extremely choppy. Now I use Sync and it's smooth af

[-] 0x30507DE@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Eternity. Previously Liftoff.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I use connect, used only jerboa so far so can't say much

I tried a couple, but I always go back to just using the web interface through Firefox. It has all the features I need, no extra ads, trackers or permissions, and is pretty comfortable to use. Then again, I don't moderate any communities and I'm not a very prolific poster, so my needs are pretty basic.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Anything that doesn’t make you pay to remove ads. That files in the face of what lemmy is about.

It was Memmy for a long time but the developer seems to be on break with development and the app has some irritating bugs.

At the moment using Avelon and it’s really good and still on development.

[-] Sentau@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago

I like voyager on smartphones and Photon on laptops and desktops.

Connect is the closest to Relay which was my favourite Reddit app. It also doesn't have ads.

[-] meiko60@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 months ago

Alexandrite for desktop, bean for iOS and Boost for Android

Every now and then a post with a question like this pops up on lemmy and I wonder if the Sync company has anything to do with it, because Sync always gets to be the most mentioned answer. It is beyond me why anyone would use an app that pushes ads on you while browsing content from a website that doesn't have any...

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

I use it, I'm not paid to say this.

ljdawson and rmayayo did great work on their apps, and I purchased both of their apps.

Making software is not easy. I'm a software developer, too. I'm very happy that there is a paid version without ads, I definitely wouldn't use them if I had to use the version with ads.

In my experience, they both provide superior experiences that are both familiar to people and well integrated into Android, especially Sync. Boost has more features however.

If you're looking for a FOSS app, Connect is the next best thing IMO.
