What's your opinion? Vote now: Lemmy-UI (Default web UI), Photon, Sync, Memmy, Eternity (Infinity), Liftoff, Voyager (wefwef), Jerboa, Thunder, Summit, Connect, Lemmotif, Artemis, A...

I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

    I was previously using Memmy and it’s good, but it hasn’t been updated for a while. I’m giving Avelon a try and it is nice so far.

    Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they’re taking a break though and I just need to be patient

    Memmy for now, but I’m hoping an iOS client comes along with moderation support.

    Artemis doesn’t let you sign in with different instances but as soon as it does I’ll start using it more.

    Voyager is 90% Apollo and is absolutely solid. Try Voyager App. Intuitive, beautifully designed and based off Christian’s source code.

      I really love Voyager on IOS, slowly Lemmy is taking over reddit for me …

    Almost all of Syncs business model is ads. The free version has ads and almost everyone who pays for it is doing so to remove ads. Which is just rewarding the implementation of ads. I also disagree with the concept of profiting from free user content with ads like Reddit does. Which was Reddits primary goal of preventing third party apps. They wanted the ad revenue themselves instead of third parties getting the ad revenue.

    The only way this can be acceptable is to not have a free ad version and only have a paid version. That way you are paying for software and not paying to remove ads or profiting from free user content.

      I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

      I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

      The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

    Pretty happy with voyager, it’s a pretty solid choice despite being styled entirely for iOS. I’ll probably look into a more Android designed / focused app going forward.

        You don’t necessarily need it as a builtin option in Lemmy, actually. You’d just need someone to hand-roll it. Before GitHub had forums with surveys, there used to be a third party provider that offered inofficial surveys that could be added to comments as embedded SVG images. The only drawback was that you could vote even as a non-registered user (but that’s true of Strawpoll as well). I sadly both forgot the name and think the company/people behind that tool may have stopped providing it.

    I’m a bit sad that my favorite (Infinity/Eternity) isn’t that high up. Loved it since my Reddit days. Tried different clients: Lemmy, thunder, liftoff, sync,… still like this the most!

      I was using Boost on reddit, but their Lemmy version isn’t available yet. Read about Eternity. Thus far I have no complaints. It works.

    Is anything similar Apollo? I’m on Android, but if there was one app that made me miss the few months I spent with a borrowed iPhone… It’s Apollo.

      As a Sync user myself, why should I switch? I’ve been using Sync for years on Reddit, I love the interface, and I don’t mind if the dev makes a bit of money from it with the occasional and minimally intrusive ads or paid ad removal.

        Sync was my choice back in the reddit days, I paid for the ad-free experience, and have even had the team personally help me out when ads reappeared after one update.

        But if there’s something I disagree with, I just have to deal with it from the developers. On Jerboa, I’m freely allowed to take the entire app and distribute it on my own, even charge for it, with no consequence. That freedom allows for a lot of customization with few workarounds. And I support that potential.
