    Don’t forget Connect! It’s probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The “About Instance” function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.

    For folks curious, [email protected] is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).

      Jerboa doesn’t autoplay gifs (or didn’t when I used it), that what made me stick to liftoff and I don’t regret it.

      I’ve been flipping between Jerboa and liftoff. Unless I’m missing something Jerboa doesn’t have the downvote arrow. Not that I ever downvote anyway. But besides that, I think I like the feel of Jerboa better.

      Sort options seem better in liftoff though (again, unless I’m missing something in Jerboa).

      I’ll probably give infinity a try now because of this post.

      It kept crashing randomly for me.

      I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we’re all Reddit refugees I presume).

      I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn’t the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn’t very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn’t appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.

      I’d used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!

        I’m still waiting for Boost for Lemmy to come out. Maybe I’ll try Infinity though if it’s a great as you say

      Voyager is nice, but since it’s a native app I can’t download pictures anymore, so I switched to infinity and got used to it…

        Yea the only way to do it from Voyagers native app right now is to open the link in your browser. You can hit the share button on Voyager and send the post link to your browser.

        This feature can still be added to native apps. RiF used to have a simple hold and save feature. I hope they add that feature soon. I imagine we aren’t the only ones who noticed.

    Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).

    Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can’t post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.

    Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I’m not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I’m used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).

    Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.

    And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really “work” right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it’s populated when I open it, versus Sync which can’t make a connection.

      Jerboa has been criticality underrated since its first or second post-exodus update. I’ve tried almost all of these (and Connect) and other than when .world is having issues but still reachable by Voyager, I use Jerboa.

    Was using infinity on Reddit and was waiting for a good fork for lemmy. Really feels like home now.

      sync is just a more polished app since it came from reddit. but infinity is the same, and boost will be the same too.

      chose the app you like most and support its dev.

      For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.

      I started with jerboa a few weeks ago and really wanted to like it most, but then I tried connect and never looked back, it was so good and polished before all the other apps were even barely usable. I haven’t found a single issue with it so far.

        Connect is my favorite so far, but I can’t download images or videos with it 😐 I can ask to download things, but then they just never show up. Otherwise pretty happy with it.

          Yeah I’ve had a few downloads timeout or disappear but I can usually tell if the little bubble doesn’t pop up that says ‘file saved’. In that case I’ve been opening things in my external browser. Most of the time it works fine for me though.

    I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.

    Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.

      Infinity for Lemmy is out already? If that’s true, you won’t have to wait too long for all the features you want.
