Probably the first comment that doesn't bash on anyone since this whole thing started.
Lemmy winks ?
Don't forget Connect! It's probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The "About Instance" function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
Using Connect:

Wait, what's wrong with Jerboa? I'm using Jerboa and it's been great so far
Jerboa doesn't autoplay gifs (or didn't when I used it), that what made me stick to liftoff and I don't regret it.
It kept crashing randomly for me.
I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we're all Reddit refugees I presume).
I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn't the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn't very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn't appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.
I'd used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!
I'm still waiting for Boost for Lemmy to come out. Maybe I'll try Infinity though if it's a great as you say
Ah, a fellow Boost enjoyer. That was my favorite Reddit app by far.

Ah man. Infinity just hits different.
Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).
Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can't post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.
Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I'm not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I'm used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).
Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.
And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really "work" right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it's populated when I open it, versus Sync which can't make a connection.
Try connect, I recommend it highly.
Just migrated my main account from Lemmy world, not their fault but there's too many users in that instance, which is causing downtimes too often
Please excuse my maybe stupid question, but did you manage to move your account from lemmy.world to another instance? If so, would you please share how you did that?
Not stupid, it isn't straight forward, there's a python script that helps with transferring subscriptions, posts and comments can't be transfered though
Check out GitHub.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

How many posts on this topics are gonna be, can't we put this to rest????
Welcome to the lemmy apps great war
The war has just reached a point in infinity
Was using infinity on Reddit and was waiting for a good fork for lemmy. Really feels like home now.
Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!
I'm stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.
Jerboa has been criticality underrated since its first or second post-exodus update. I've tried almost all of these (and Connect) and other than when .world is having issues but still reachable by Voyager, I use Jerboa.
Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed
Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.
sync is just a more polished app since it came from reddit. but infinity is the same, and boost will be the same too.
chose the app you like most and support its dev.
(posted from sync)
Still have a faint hope for Relay
For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.
I'll stick with Connect, thank you.
I started with jerboa a few weeks ago and really wanted to like it most, but then I tried connect and never looked back, it was so good and polished before all the other apps were even barely usable. I haven't found a single issue with it so far.

liftoff and infinity are great
Honestly my biggest complaint is that so far only Sync seems to have a built-in browser. I don't like having things redirected to my browser.
Infinity for Lemmy has the option to open links with an in-app browser or with an external one.

How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I'm considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync's "remove ads" (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).

I am using Infinity. It has been working great so far. It is one of the most themeable Lemmy clients I know of.
Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently

I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.
Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.

Rn the state of Infinity for Lemmy feels mostly complete (aside from a few expected bugs built from being a fork working with a totally different API), but besides that, the app is absolutely fire. I was a heavy IfR user in the past and it even convinced me to make an account (I was mostly a lurker) but when spez starting treating 3rd party devs like shit I gtfo there, just hoping that docille or another dev would have forked infinity and yet, here we are.
