You can use any client you want guys . Lemmy wins
Lemmy winks ?
Don’t forget Connect! It’s probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The “About Instance” function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Using Connect:
Have a link? Is it open source?
It’s not FOSS but it’s currently free and without ads.
Here’s a play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Where is the “About Instance” feature?
- Tap the three dots overflow menu:
- Select About Instance:
- Select View Communities:
Thanks. I found that earlier. I tried to edit comment. There’s a feature on my app that says “add user comment”… I thought that equaled an edited comment that indicated 'I found the answer".
Voyager (now as native app) 👨🍳😙👌
Voyager is nice, but since it’s a native app I can’t download pictures anymore, so I switched to infinity and got used to it…
Yea the only way to do it from Voyagers native app right now is to open the link in your browser. You can hit the share button on Voyager and send the post link to your browser.
This feature can still be added to native apps. RiF used to have a simple hold and save feature. I hope they add that feature soon. I imagine we aren’t the only ones who noticed.
Yup, feels like Apollo before 😊
Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).
Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can’t post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.
Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I’m not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I’m used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).
Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.
And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really “work” right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it’s populated when I open it, versus Sync which can’t make a connection.
What do you mean cannot post in Sync? I’m using Sync since day 1 and can post, like this comment
But sync can’t submit new posts yet. Only comments.
oh shit right, this is why it’s still a beta
Try connect, I recommend it highly.
Just migrated my main account from Lemmy world, not their fault but there’s too many users in that instance, which is causing downtimes too often
Sync is way too expensive if you want to get rid of ads too. I was considering paying
I’m stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.
Jerboa has been criticality underrated since its first or second post-exodus update. I’ve tried almost all of these (and Connect) and other than when .world is having issues but still reachable by Voyager, I use Jerboa.
Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.
sync is just a more polished app since it came from reddit. but infinity is the same, and boost will be the same too.
chose the app you like most and support its dev.

Still have a faint hope for Relay
Where does Voyager fit into this?
I had an hard time igonring the slight delay at animations when using it on my phone. I’m usually use it on PC though.
I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.
Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.
Infinity for Lemmy is out already? If that’s true, you won’t have to wait too long for all the features you want.
How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I’m considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync’s “remove ads” (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).
I wasn’t very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I’ve been a long time infinity user. I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t given sync too much of a chance, but here’s what I like about infinity:
- FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
- nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
- multiple account support
- dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
- fairly stable
Thanks for taking the time to write this. I’ll give it a shot
liftoff and infinity are great
I am using Infinity. It has been working great so far. It is one of the most themeable Lemmy clients I know of.
Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently
It’s on the Izzysoft F-Droid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy
The source code is found at: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
The Infinity for Lemmy sublemmy is found here: !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id
and the developer is u/bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu
Though the name might change since its a fork and not done by the same developer: https://lemy.lol/post/2958776
I am either hoping for it to stay the same, or for it to change to Eternity.
Is there any way to set default home screen to “subscribed” instead of “local”?
Go to settings. Then pick ‘username’ settings (for you it will say snowraven settings). Then scroll down to default listing type and you can choose between all, local or subscribed.
Thanks!
Honestly my biggest complaint is that so far only Sync seems to have a built-in browser. I don’t like having things redirected to my browser.
Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed
Dumb question… I went to beehaw.org on my mobile browser, and clicked “install”. Which app does that mean I’m using?
You’re using your browser and the beehaw website as a PWA (progressive web app)
thanks. so I guess I need to try out one of the actual-apps. Just when I thought I was keeping up with the cool kids…
Haha it’s a valid way of using Lemmy (and other websites!) but yeah, in the meme they’re all android apps. Some are on the play store, some are in beta on github. Not sure which of these (if any) are available on iOS. There’s also Connect which some people like. I prefer Sync personally, but Liftoff is pretty good.
Web app
I just can’t decide between Sync and Voyager.
