I’m also in voyager.
Boost baby!
Launch the rocket! 🚀
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.
I do the Voyager. Can't remember how I landed on it, but it works good
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.
In my heart it's still wefwef, complete with the little rainbow background lemmy.
Boost on Android
Sync
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.
Hmm, I haven't noticed any such delay. Hopefully that will get fixed.
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.
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.
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
Jerboa
Firefox on all the platforms I use.
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.
Surprised I'm the first to say Eternity
@tal@lemmy.today 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.

Summit. It's the best
Agree, and I have tested a bunch of them so far. It's just so clean!
Eternity
Voyager on iOS, Firefox on PC
Eternity (infinity for Lemmy)
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.
Mlem (TestFlight version)
Boost here.
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.
It's so cool to see so many different ways to experience Lemmy.
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.
Old reddit/mlmym on desktop and Sync on Android for me.
I tried a few and settled on Voyager. I like it a lot.
Connect. It feels like RIF
Photon or tesseract (for admin stuff) on PC, thunder on mobile.
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.
one i wrote myself in rust
"Impressive." - Darth Vader
it does render post comments at full depth (so all of them) in about 60% of the time of JS frameworks
that equates to a fraction of a second on most computers but it really does work better than the others. you can only really tell on massive posts with over 300 comments
ooh actually the other good feature is that from a cold start (empty window) it will render the page on the server side which means the page displays much quicker. the JS frameworks normally load the skeleton/engine first and then load the data and render the page
Share this magnificent creation already!
it's a minimalist experience at the moment so it's very useful but far from full featured
i do use it all the time though (using it to write this) so maybe i should release it officially soon
Hey, some people crave minimalism and speed!
cool, well thanks for the encouragement
