Sync for Lemmy (android)
I’ve been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don’t get me wrong they’re both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year’s subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Same
It’s unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it’s mind blowing the dev pull this off.
It inherits all the lessons learned with Sync for Reddit until it died.
I’m so happy it’s here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.
I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn’t really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.
Sync is the reason I’m here, and the reason why my Reddit account is practically dead. For me, Sync was Reddit, and without it I have no reason to stay.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.
I second Memmy. I’ve tried the others available currently, including wefwef and Memmy is my favorite. wefwef is second, but an actual native app still feels better imo.
Agreed. I love wef wef but still has some weirdness being a web app. Memmy is my favorite installed app.
I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.
Another Memmy user here - if you’re a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!
for android users theres wefwef/voyager

Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
- iOS: App Store Link
- Android: Google Play Store
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Wefwef is now Voyager and has native apps for iOS and android as well as web app (WEP) and yes it’s still the best option imo
for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app’s community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.
By far the best interface on android so far. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy and Boost for Lemmy as well.
I prefer Sync because of the font, the design, and the way the options are arranged.
Using it right now. Very nice interface, especially comment field
I love the formatting tools
that are placed at the bottom
And enable easy text fancification
Voyager for lemmy is awesome
+1 for Liftoff
Is there a way to copy the posted link to an article straight from the feed in Liftoff? When I hit “copy link” it copies the link to the post on lemmy. I do not want this.
I’m another Liftoff user!
I’ve also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I’m using Liftoff a lot.
Idk, i use Eternity (Infinity Fork).
I love eternity! Although it’s probably because I was so used to infinity beforehand.
I tried jerboa and liftoff as well and they were fine, but eternity just has that familiar feel
I have tried all of the ones on Android.
Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I’m on a pixel 7 pro so it’s not a legacy hardware issue either
Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I’ve been using it for reddit for the past decade.
Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it’s got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all
If you’d like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it’s not a big enough issue at all
I’m also partial to Sync. It’s impressive how much of the UX was kept in making the transition to the Fediverse. I honestly can’t tell the difference between the previous Reddit client and the current Lemmy client
Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
I am using Connect for Lemmy. It is straightforward.

I like connect, considering thunder or infinity though
For me, Sync For Lemmy
After trying (imho) all android app, for me, Connect works the best.
I think it depends on one’s taste which app is the “best”.
Having tried lots of them, it is definitely dependent on the user. Try them all and pick your favorite!
Yes, but even connect has some issues e.g. triple notification.
That is something I personally can live with. So far, non of the tried android apps for Lemmy gave notifications properly.
On Android, definitely Sync. Yes, it has ads, but they’re way less obnoxious than the ones on the official Reddit app, so I will keep putting up with them and u/Spez can go fuck himself.
You could just use AdGuard DNS anyway so you won’t actually see the ads.
Infinity for Reddit was my favourite Reddit client, and now that Infinity has a Lemmy fork I use it exclusively.
Isnt infinity severely bugged RN ?
Not less than Jerboa from my experience, very few crushes… There is a bug that if you refresh a thread twice in a row it crashes, but other than that easily avoidable big it hasn’t crashed for me once in either 0.0.6 or 0.0.8.
So far thunder has been the best client
I have tried Thunder as well, but I just like the GUI of Infinity.
Same , but thunder so far was least bugged although the new release has bugs , now liftoff really lifts off !
I’m glad we have so many choices, I can always easily switch clients whenever I want.
Just saw that connect is out too ! They all be getting polished if development goes on!
My problem with it is than when leaving the app for a split second it doesn’t remember where I was the last time. This is especially frustrating when commenting. Infinity doesn’t have this problem. Actually it’s the only app that doesn’t have this problem (except maybe sync)
Also I’ve always always used Infinity so I’m pretty used to it although I have no problems adjusting to other apps.
Infinity is now eternity a new version is out !!
Ah. Forgot that even though I use it rn
For me Summit.
I second Summit.
Very active developer, he just released mod tools and multi communities. I spent years browsing Reddit with Relay and felt miserable with every other Lemmy app, but with Summit, I felt right at home.
Sync or jerboa
