I tried Thunder, and Connect, and Summit and Voyager and Boost. Nothing matched the experience I preferred with Sync, but it's clearly abandoned by the developer and has many compatibility issues and bugs. So I signed up with a PieFed instance and downloaded Blorp. It doesn't have quite as many features yet, but it's the closest to what I want...

It's a webapp, and I fucking love web apps. Also has quality-of-life improvements like making it easier to see modlogs or checking the account age of new accounts.
I am quite happy with Voyager
+1 for Voyager from me
Top voted this is what I'm going with
Voyager but the lack of the language field is not great. Posting with Voyager gets you less reach
I’m brand new to Lemmy and grabbed voyager to get started, can you elaborate? I’d be grateful as i’m still a noob.
The app still doesn’t support the localisation needed to get optimal discovery on Lemmy. Lemmy has a language field for each post which Voyager leaves blank. Lots of users have a setting “only show me posts in English” which then filters out posts where the language is set to It’s been a “feature request” that’s been open for years.
Summit and Interstellar are my two favorite's right now.
I second Summit.
I still have Sync because I transitioned with it from Reddit, but Summit is now my daily driver.
Samesies
Boost (Android)
It was the best app for Reddit before. Now it's the best app for Lemmy.
Jerboa
Voyager
Firefox.
Voyager. Don't remember why I stuck to this one, but the others I tried lacked some features I wanted.
I like it because it is pretty much the Lemmy successor to Apollo for Reddit.
Connect. With Voyager as comparison.
I'm using Jerboa, even though I saw what Blorp is like, and I'm preparing g to switch (just used to Jerboa UI)
I use Jerboa. It's closest to the app I used for Reddit (Joey) after a few tweaks.
Flat list of posts, small thumbnails on the side. Clean interface. Default sort is all top day.
Summits been solid for years
Voyager, but I wish I could see other people's modlogs, they sound funny
Boost. Only problem I have is videos often only play in thumbnail and load infinitely when clicked on. Not that important for me though.
With Jerboa and Voyager there were a lot of small problems that just made the experience worse.
Blorp
Blorp has a really nice UI both on Android and on web and it works with piefed too
Thunder. Cross-platform and it has a very nice uncluttered UI. Works with piefed too.
Jerboa. I find the UI very nice. Right around amount of info and density (i hate excessive padding), fully customizable colors, not 1 glitch
I had to check, but voyager, evidently.
Connect, but a recent update to the UI is quite annoying. Some text is quite small but not all the time, they added a giant banner at the top. It was fine before.
Voyager
I use Boost. Not open-source, but the ads are non-intrusive to me and it just feels like home.
interstellar but im on piefed
