Probably the first comment that doesn't bash on anyone since this whole thing started.

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 :).

Using Connect:

Have a link? Is it open source?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he's cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that's worth.

Wait, what's wrong with Jerboa? I'm using Jerboa and it's been great so far

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Ah man. Infinity just hits different.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (8 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Try connect, I recommend it highly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean cannot post in Sync? I'm using Sync since day 1 and can post, like this comment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But sync can't submit new posts yet. Only comments.

I'm stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Android only FYI anyone looking for “infinity”

Where does Voyager fit into this?

Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Still have a faint hope for Relay

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

liftoff and infinity are great

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll stick with Connect, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Honestly my biggest complaint is that so far only Sync seems to have a built-in browser. I don't like having things redirected to my browser.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Infinity for Lemmy has the option to open links with an in-app browser or with an external one.

I am using Infinity. It has been working great so far. It is one of the most themeable Lemmy clients I know of.

Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently

How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I'm considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync's "remove ads" (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).

I just can't decide between Sync and Voyager.

Dumb question... I went to beehaw.org on my mobile browser, and clicked "install". Which app does that mean I'm using?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're using your browser and the beehaw website as a PWA (progressive web app)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

thanks. so I guess I need to try out one of the actual-apps. Just when I thought I was keeping up with the cool kids...

Rn the state of Infinity for Lemmy feels mostly complete (aside from a few expected bugs built from being a fork working with a totally different API), but besides that, the app is absolutely fire. I was a heavy IfR user in the past and it even convinced me to make an account (I was mostly a lurker) but when spez starting treating 3rd party devs like shit I gtfo there, just hoping that docille or another dev would have forked infinity and yet, here we are.
