What client do Android users use for Lemmy these days? I've been using Jerboa from the start but it's a bit basic and lacks any good search functionality. So I want to try some others. What do other Android users recommend?

Things I like about Jerboa:

  • It just works. It's pretty simple.
  • It has actual private browsing in app. You never have to leave the app and it knows how to never save your history.
  • It can do the above even when setting your main browser to Firefox (so as blocking works even in open links in app).

Things I don't like about Jerboa:

  • Text entry is oftentimes buggy.
  • Lack of any decent search for communities or in threads.
  • No draft capability.

boost and voyager

I really like Raccoon, Summit, and Connect a lot. I switch around between them just for shits and giggles; they're all great apps with cool, active developers. I'm currently writing this with Raccoon.

Just tried Raccoon and the level of post customization is really nice. But it doesn't have a mark as read button which it kinda annoying.

Jerboa was the smallest one I could find on F-Droid. The lack of post search sucksssss but that's probably a sign that I should get home and onto my computer regardless.

Voyager is all I've ever used to access Lemmy.

[-] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

My web browser lol

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Sync still works great and is tighter than basically everything else. The other apps have made MONSTROUS strides in the past couple years, but I still have sync set up pretty close to how I want it. But, what I really truly want is Baconreader for fediverse.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

Still using the browser! Works just fine.

[-] trk@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Voyager, only because I'm used to it and cbf swapping.

If RiF was made for Lemmy, I'd be using that.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I've been using Boost simply because it's what I used to use for reddit and it does what I want

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

Irreally really like you Voyager. It's inspired by Reddit Sync, the GOAT

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I'm still using Sync (for Lemmy) but I'll need to check Voyager out, since it seems Sync is now abandoned.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

I love Sync. A beautiful app that served me for a full decade. But now, Sync charges way too much for a subscription and access to features that used to be free or came with a one-time purchase. And yes, it appears abandoned, so why would subscribe?

Sync also had a bunch of customizations that I had to do for each account. Very tedious and the settings menus and options themselves weren't implemented as well as they could have been.

Voyager was exactly what I needed. It's very close the Sync experience while also its own thing. I'm very happy with it. If only they'd change the logo

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

Boost and Connect are my favorites for Lemmy.

[-] JayGray91@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago

I t4ied only Interstellar and settled on Summit. Back when piefed social was new I got on board fairly early and interstellar IIRC was one of the first to have piefed support. Then summit came with the support and I never left since. Sorry Interstellar, Summit just have the UX I prefer back when I used Sync for reddit. Sync for lemmy didn't have piefed support back then.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago

I haven't found anything better than Jerboa. To me, the only flaw is that it will never, ever support piefed.

It's the closest to the RIF experience.

[-] ODuffer@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

As we are talking about browsers... I use Boost, but would like the option of downloading 'all, -top six hours' including comments, for offline browsing (Perhaps up to a maximum size). Any recommendations please?

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

That WOULD be neat.

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago

Firefox on mobile. I make the website an app. It works.

[-] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

I use the browser and have no idea why you'd need a dedicated app

[-] bananabread@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

Eternity and sometimes voyager

After using thunder I haven't felt the need to try anything else since.

[-] torik@lemmychan.org 2 points 5 months ago

None. Just use the website.
