Arctic on iOS.

[–] Ghostalmedia 1 points 39 minutes ago

I’m also in voyager.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 1 points 2 hours ago

Boost baby!

Launch the rocket! 🚀

[–] MurrayL 8 points 8 hours ago

Voyager, because it was the most mature and feature complete app available when I left Reddit and I don’t fancy switching again without good reason.

It was a bit of a learning curve initially, coming from RiF, but I’m used to it now and rarely encounter any issues.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Eternity which is based on Infinity for Reddit.

[–] tyrant 27 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I do the Voyager. Can't remember how I landed on it, but it works good

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

I only remember switching to Voyager because I was having problems with images and other such things loading when I was using Jerboa when I first jumped ship to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

In my heart it's still wefwef, complete with the little rainbow background lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Thunder has become my main, has the least issues for me, been meaning to customize arctic since its a bit quicker being native. Thunder will sometimes take a bit to post a comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm, I haven't noticed any such delay. Hopefully that will get fixed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Its prob because of my self hosted instance being iffy(goes down for a few seconds at a time because all of my cpus will go from 18% to 100% for a second sometimes, think friendica causes it), the other apps dont have issues reconnecting when it tweaks, thunder I usually have to force close a few times before it works again, thats more of a shoddyinstance issue with the app.

Boost on Android

I use Boost. I tried a few others, and wanted to pick an open source option, but I never found one with UI I was satisfied with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Just saying, I'm a huge Boost fan (donated, even) and still use its Reddit app to this day. Thunder is marvelous.

Voyager app in Android, vger.app on my laptop

Surprised I'm the first to say Eternity

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

@[email protected] mentioned it, so you're the 2nd.

I just prefer to use something recent if possible; Eternity was last updated in August versus Thunder, just this month, in F-Droid. It looks probably fine, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, I guess I didn't read the full comment haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Where's your search bar, soldier?!

Agree, and I have tested a bunch of them so far. It's just so clean!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

Was using connect for nearly two years but more and more issues are being introduced and old ones not solved despite a few updates this last month. So currently I have moved over to Voyager, I prefer the way connect is laid out etc but Voyager actually works and as a bonus I can moderate from it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Eternity (infinity for Lemmy)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Firefox on all the platforms I use.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Same! "open in new tab", history, and bookmarking are the big winners for me. I have Jerboa just to see what things look like on another platform tho.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

Voyager on iOS, Firefox on PC

[–] mesamunefire 4 points 9 hours ago

It's so cool to see so many different ways to experience Lemmy.

[–] electric 3 points 9 hours ago

Wish I could have used Thunder but it didn't support older phones (think it was related to something about a certificate with Flutter???). I just use Connect now and customized it to be how Baconreader was for me. Been a great app so far.

Mlem (TestFlight version)

I actually still use Boost for Reddit because it's so incredible and unbeatable (especially for moderating), but I decided to lean more open-source otherwise.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres 2 points 9 hours ago

I tried a few and settled on Voyager. I like it a lot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Connect. It feels like RIF

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Old reddit/mlmym on desktop and Sync on Android for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Photon or tesseract (for admin stuff) on PC, thunder on mobile.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

Just the web interface for me - it does everything I want, so I have an instance of Firefox on my phone dedicated to social media, with always open tabs for Lemmy, Discuit, Tildes and Pixelfed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Currently on mbin
