(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.
Infinity!
I’m an Infinity user too, though its name might change soon as the developer is discussing this in this post
Great app, very level headed developer and the way he asks for community users input makes you feel included.
Seconding Infinity
Sync followed by Liftoff
Sync followed by Jerboa, for me.
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.
Liftoff is working really well for me!
I like Thunder and Infinity
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 is great, much cleaner/easier to read layout compared to Sync IMO.
Sync for lemmy now. Boost for lemmy when it comes out. Jerboa is nice too.
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?

I’ve tried pretty much every app available, and liked Thunder the most. second place goes to Jerboa.
All apps require some customization for my preference. Once I’m done with customizing, there’s hardly any difference between apps. I’m currently using Connect, because it’s very customizable. I like the list view and the option not to preload pictures to save on data.
Voyager is also pretty good, but the webapp seemed to conflict with my browser. Maybe that’s fixed in the native app.
I don’t understand why anyone likes card view at all. It’s pretty much the reason why I was locked to using a third party app for Reddit in the first place when they “updated” the site back in 2018.
I think card view in a native app mainly works well for communities with high image/video content, other communities are okay either way.
When I used to use Reddit on my desktop’s browser the styling would typically be list view, because that was something which I was used to.
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.
Not open source
That’s not a requirement for everyone. And I don’t mind paying someone for their efforts.
It kind of is, in this community.
To win over friends and family, an app being FOSS doesn’t matter as much as its UI/UX.
This is a FOSS-specific community.
It’s so much better than sync. I might try Boost once it’s released, but connect just works really well
Same to all of this!
Sync, Liftoff and Voyager are the three I’ve used. They’re all good.
I used Infinity for Reddit and I tried Sync and Jerboa for Lemmy. So now I am using Infinity for Lemmy and it’s really good. Feels the same as the original Infinity and has almost all the advanced features.
I’m currently using Sync but once some of the others polish up and catch up, I’ll probably switch. All of the actively developed apps have a solid foundation, some are just newer than others.
Infinity is the best Reddit client I’ve ever tried, and I will say the same for the Lemmy fork. I have deleted everything else but Sync and Infinity.
