So, I was lurking using sync for Lemmy and I came upon this post.

What happened to the development with these apps? I'm not that active on lemdro.id or other instances. But apps like Sync and Boost have been updated in a year or 6 months respectively. With Boost I'm not surprised Mayo tends to be slow. I was more shocked with sync. My question is do you guys have any recommendations for other Lemmy clients?

Edit Please do not harass the devs.

Edit 2: I'm testing out thunderbird.

I've just started on Lemmy very recently, but I've been trying out different Android Lemmy clients. I'm currently on 'Voyager for Lemmy' which I installed from F-Droid, and personally this has been my best experience yet

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 4 days ago

I tried a few other clients as well and settled on Voyager in the end. The experience is great, it's being actively developed and the dev is active in !voyagerapp@lemmy.world. Can recommend!

FYI, voyager started as a hyper performant webapplication namef wefwef

https://wefwef.app/

I still have it as a shortcut on my phone as a backup to the official app

Voyager is a fantastic experience imo. I tried other clients like Jerboa and a couple others I can't remember the names of. The others were always a buggy mess whereas Voyager actually just worked. Dunno if the other apps eventually improved, but I wasn't personally keen on sticking around through their significant growing pains when Voyager already existed.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I haven't seen bugs in Jerboa in ages.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

That's great to hear! Makes sense that they would have worked them out eventually. I just never saw a reason to try to switch back. I tried out a bunch of different apps until I found one that I liked and worked well is all.

~~Voyager is a good client but it's a variation of infinity which with Infinity I don't really vibe with. Its not a bad client just not for me.~~

Sorry I'm thinking of eternity πŸ˜…. My bad
