Voyager is fantastic. I started with Memmy and settled on Voyager for a while. But I’m trying Avelon right now and it’s smoooooth. The swipe back function works much better on Avelon, and their “Explore” tab is great.

Team Avelon

[-] adj16@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Oooh, shiny. Thanks for the suggestion, it’s beautiful

[-] Dick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Avelon is phenomenal. Especially the hide bars on scroll feature. No other app has this. I wonder if it’s hard to develop? I remember the developer of Apollo had quite a few bugs with it in the beginning.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Adding my thanks for the suggestion too - avelon looks great! I started with Memmy and I moved on to Voyager and Lemmios. Both are great but both have problems. Loving avelon so far!!

I like the fact that no client has a majority

[-] coffee@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago

You could argue that 25% for sync is quite something, and almost double that of the next largest competitor.

I am using it, it's okay, not as good as Reddit Is Fun was.

but I have to say I am not as evangelical about pushing open source and lack of telemetry, so I don't care about unintrusive ads as a free-tier, nor do I care a lot about collecting usage data to improve the app

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Try liftoff, it's as close as possible to RIF.

This can be blessing and a curse.

This made me so happy to see people talking about my poll! This is exactly why I wanted to make it! :)

I'm waiting for Boost since the reddit exodus. I've condemned myself to mobile browsing particularly to be loyal to boost and also the enjoy how much better 3rd party clients are when it's finally live.

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

I'm also a former boost user, for now I'm using liftoff

Is Voyager worth it? I don't mind Jerboa

[-] roon@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

I use Voyager PWA myself it's pretty good

I like both, and I say use what you're comfortable with.

[-] ThwaitesAwaits@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Eh, Jerboa is okay, but the typing is janky. I might switch away from it just for that reason.

I went back to using Jerboa since I got pretty tired of the ads in Sync. I understand why they're there, but it's still kinda annoying.

Have been loving Sync Ultra since release. Recently added Summary feature and link previews are awesome.

I've been enjoying connect

[-] x4740N@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I would like to see how this poll was shared because that could introduce bias for example sharing it in communities where users of a specific lemmy client are in the majority

[-] FrostbyteIX@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

As of late I'm using Jerboa. It was the first thing that popped up when I searched "reddit alternatives" on Bing.

[-] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used memmy and was happy with it but my blocked instance filter kept disappearing, so now I’m on voyager. It’s not bad but it takes time to get used to it.

I'd use it but I can't log in. My password is probably too long as it's randomly generated by my password manager.

Fwiw can't login to sync either. It's all jerboa for me.

I use whatever in FDroid. In FDroid there is only Jerboa.

[-] pirat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

In my F-Droid, there's plenty of other! Eternity, Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, Voyager, Lemmur and Combustible when I search for "Lemmy". Maybe you don't have all/the same repositories enabled? I'm using Liftoff at the moment, which is great so far, but I haven't settled yet. I want to try using some of the other ones before I'm sure. For reddit I used Joey, and I would consider switching to Joey for Lemmy if it existed.

Eternity is too low on the list imo.

[-] FrostKing@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Using connect cause it's the first one that popped up on a search when I originally switched. Can anyone give me good reasons to use a different one on this list?

I alternate between voyager and Avelon. I like that Avelon has better swipe options. Swipe back from anywhere is a must imo.

I am looking for an alternative to Jerboa. While I like it, I would prefer an app with moderation tools and without the weird backspace bug when writing posts/comments. Does anyone have a recommendation for me?
