Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what’s the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I’m mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what’s your primary one?

    I am fully on the Sync train. It does get a lot of hate here because it’s not FOSS, but it was the best app around for Reddit, and the dev converted it for Lemmy. It’s so far above and beyond everything else that I’m happy to pay for it. There’s a free version with ads, and there’s the expensive paid upgrade ($20). The dev regularly disappears for months, but when he surfaces, he’ll roll out a massive amount of bug fixes and features.

      Yep, nothing beats Sync, although the other existing apps are great, and have been great since the beginning if you ask me.

      If you wanna know why I chose Sync instead of any other app is because the damn app can survive even the worse ROM you use and it doesn’t matter how atrocious your RAM management is, you are likely never gonna miss the position you left when you minimize and open other apps.

      The app basically saves the state where you were and it is highly unlikely that you lose the track of it, even on aggressive RAM management ROMs like MIUI, it still stands better than the others, I experienced the same with Sync for Reddit.

        But it look shit because they show ads like post. If you want real solution try Re-Vanced. (Hopefully I don’t get downvoted by Sync user)

    Android user.

    I used Liftoff until it broke with the API change a couple months back. The Dev has been AFK looking after twin kids. Hope they are going well.

    Tried Thunder for a while but it kept crashing or forgetting what post I was looking at when switching between apps.

    Using Voyager now and I am quite happy with it. I miss the All servers you have accounts with feed view from Liftoff but that is not a biggie.

      Android app store says this shares purchases, location info, device ID and app interactions with 3rd parties… Voyager shares no data with 3rd parties.

    I use Thunder. It looks nice, runs well, is actively developed, and the devs are very communicative and open to feedback.

      I use Jebora and am happy, is there something important I’m missing? I was a Reddit is Fun user before and I like both because of how simple and basic they are. I hated the official reddit app for the reasons above.

      Edit: the one thing I don’t like is you can’t, or I don’t know how, to collapse all child comments.

        I don’t know how, to collapse all child comments.

        Do you mean for an entire post? Or do you mean per comment?

          All child comments, the entire post. It makes finding things easier then going into the replys if I want to. Usually child comments are less helpful.

    I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.

      I cannot understand why anyone would use an app with Ads when connect has none and it’s free! After getting used to no ads, pure content, I would hate to go back.

      I used to use boost for Reddit, but I’m securely in the connect camp now.

    Sync, all the way. I strictly used Sync for reddit after the first real enshittification (to me) of reddit a couple years back, and once the app was reworked for Lemmy I switched and haven’t looked back.

    Like others have said, it looks great, almost fully customizable UI, works really well, and saves your place when you’re scrolling through comments on posts if you back out.

    I’ve been loyal to Sync. Few quirks that need to be resolved like support for Lemmy spoilers, but other than that it’s been fantastic.

    I use jerboa and so far my only gripes are being unable to unblock communities or users unless you go to the desktop page and the upvote system being a percentage instead of just an up and down counter.

    I originally used boost as that’s what I used for reddit but boost is crammed full of ads unless you buy the premium version.
