I am very new to Lemmy, and I am using the Eternity app. But I am wondering which one you guys are using, and maybe there are better one’s than Eternity without me knowing

    I used boost until I saw it was sending me dark pattern ads from an ad network, to which the dev had noted they reported it, until it happened again and I moved to voyager, where I no longer have such a problem.

    I came from reddit a few years back and was a staunch baconreader user.

    Eternity for lemmy has been wonderful.

    any “beef” I have is with content/community which are getting better and not related to the client I use.

    I use Bilbo, mostly for the free Hobbit memes and because the maintainer is a personal close friend of Simon Baxter of Redwall fame

    I have tried almost all clients on Android.

    Best In my opinion:

    1. Thunder
    2. Jerboa
    3. Raccoon for Lemmy
    4. Voyager

    To me thunder has the best UI and UX overall, even though I prefers the “card view” feed from Raccoon and some functions of Jerboa.

      Do you use thunder on iPad? How do you exit from a video link, eg youtube? There is no back or X or gesture.

        I would suppose with the same gestures as the image ones but since you mention is not that then I would assume it could work with native iOS gestures? I’m sorry, do not own any Apple devices. I suggest asking on Thunder’s community or making an issue on Github.

      Did you rank these in a particular order, or is it just four that you like?

      I used Jerboa when I first transitioned from Reddit, but eventually someone recommended Voyager because it is similar to the RiF app I used to use. I like the interface of Voyager more than Jerboa, and I’ve been using it for a while, but I’m still open to checking out other apps.

        In preferred order.

        Jerboa has everything you might need related to Lemmy functions, as it is the native app developed by the same Lemmy authors. But I feel the interface is not as good as Thunder’s. And as for Voyager, I dislike the interface because is reminiscent of old iPhone interfaces (even though you can change it something similar to Android). And as far as I remember Thunder’s post’s comments view is better for me. In my opinion Thunder has the better combination of Function, UI and UX.
