(single quotes around best for subjectivity) I’m trying to get all of my Android using friends and family into the Fediverse.

I’m an iOS user, so I have no idea about Android apps.

    I use Connect on my phone. I’ve tried others, even Sync when it came out but I guess I was already used to Connect.

      I have been using Thunder for a few weeks and it works very well. It has the best compact interface for me, close to the RedReader experience.

    Infinity for Lemmy! I’ve been using Infinity for Reddit way before the API situation, and I am very used to the interface.

    Tried other clients like Thunder and Connect, but the interfaces are either too chunky or the colors are off. Infinity for Lemmy is essentially a complete copy of the original and I love it.

      This is the FOSS community and neither Sync nor Boost are open source.

        But Lemmy is, so it’s still a relevant answer, no?

        If I asked “What word processors can Libre Office Writer collaborate with?”, would Microsoft Word be an off-topic answer?

    when I wanted a lemmy app, searching f-droid only pulled up Jerboa, and I remain happy with it.

    Voyager recently got added to F-Droid but can also be used as PWA from a web browser but personally I’m currently waiting until Infinity for Lemmy actually will get it’s first stable release

      Infinity is not too bad right now, I am replying from it right now. My only real issue with it is that I can’t see whether people have responded to my posts/comments.

        I can see replies to my comments and posts in infinity. The main issue is now that private messages aren’t implemented. Depending on the speed of developement, it will soon land

      I am presently using infinity from izzyondroid repository (is that the right name?) and it’s good. However, some features are missing, such as blocking communities (at least I couldn’t find the feature).

    I was using Jerboa for most things but using the progressive web app as well. Sync is my preferred method for browsing and commenting at this point, but I’m still using the PWA for mod responsibilities and submissions (though I think LJ expects to have submissions working soon and 🤞 mod tools aren’t far behind). It’s fair to say that Sync is my preference due to comfort but the amount of customization is what makes it so comfy in the first place.

    I really really wanted to use Jerboa. I love Jerboas and I love FOSS.

    But I tried sync today and it’s just better.

    Really disappointed at the pricing model but I’m just ad blocking it in protest of the insane pricing.

    As an app though, I’d happily buy it for a reasonable price given the quality.

      Man, I really think you should either saddle up, don’t block ads, or use a free, non-ad-supported alternative.

      Sync is made by a single dev who uses it as his main source of income. It’s not made by a corporation. Taking the fruits of someone’s labor, that they have priced to make it worth their time, feels kinda shitty to me.

      If you really feel it’s so much better than the alternatives that you won’t even use them, then pay what the person making it feels they need to keep making it.

    I’m using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can’t decide which is better, so I’m interested in others people love.

      I prefer Liftoff, mainly because I am plagued by a well-known bug in jerboa that makes writing comments a big pain. However, since infinity got semi usable (it still has a bunch of references to reddit in its ui and the messages/replies page is broken) I have only used liftoff to check for replies. I am just used to infinity from years of reddit usage lol

        I started Reddit almost 2 years ago, and used Infinity. I avoided all social media since MyPage but finally gave in for Reddit. It was Toxic, then it went to hell in a handbasket like Twitter.
