I am very new to Lemmy, and I am using the Eternity app. But I am wondering which one you guys are using, and maybe there are better one's than Eternity without me knowing

I have tried almost all clients on Android.

Best In my opinion:

  1. Thunder
  2. Jerboa
  3. Raccoon for Lemmy
  4. Voyager

To me thunder has the best UI and UX overall, even though I prefers the "card view" feed from Raccoon and some functions of Jerboa.

i agree. Thunder is the best. It's even better than paid apps

Yep, tried everything and Thunder is the best for me.

I've moved from Boost to Thunder. It's a great experience so far.

Did you rank these in a particular order, or is it just four that you like?

I used Jerboa when I first transitioned from Reddit, but eventually someone recommended Voyager because it is similar to the RiF app I used to use. I like the interface of Voyager more than Jerboa, and I've been using it for a while, but I'm still open to checking out other apps.

In preferred order.

Jerboa has everything you might need related to Lemmy functions, as it is the native app developed by the same Lemmy authors. But I feel the interface is not as good as Thunder's. And as for Voyager, I dislike the interface because is reminiscent of old iPhone interfaces (even though you can change it something similar to Android). And as far as I remember Thunder's post's comments view is better for me. In my opinion Thunder has the better combination of Function, UI and UX.

You can't hide the bottom bar on thunder, can you?

Do you use thunder on iPad? How do you exit from a video link, eg youtube? There is no back or X or gesture.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I would suppose with the same gestures as the image ones but since you mention is not that then I would assume it could work with native iOS gestures? I'm sorry, do not own any Apple devices. I suggest asking on Thunder's community or making an issue on Github.
