Which Android app would you recommend for Lemmy? I’m looking for something simple, something I can just scroll through while I’m bored. Doesn’t have to be on google’s store.
Voyager
+1 for voyager. It has a clean and minimal UI, nice user experience and a lot of QoL stuff.
Boost for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy
I left Reddit because Boost stopped being supported there.
Another vote for boost. So customizable that you can make it exactly how you want your experience to be.
The free version does have ads but the paid is a dollar a year and it goes straight to the developer.
Is it a subscription now? I paid $6 in January, one-time fee.
Actually I can’t tell. Their donation page is weird as hell. I know that I paid a one time amount too.
Thunder.
But really, just try them out. You’ll get a dozen recommendations here. If you use F-Droid just search for Lemmy and start at the top.
Not sync. It’s abandoned.
Or connect, which is where I went from sync. Voyager has been solid though.
I think he was making an attempt but then Lemmy 1.0 was announced around the same time.
I’m so fucking shocked lol.
They invalidated my license back when the first version of the reddit app came out, so I had to purchase it again to get rid of ads because I liked the app. When I saw they made a Lemmy app I knew to stay away.
Summit is where it’s at!
So I guess that’s how I get all my owl pictures.
Whoa, that’s a pretty awesome tecolotyl! I’m glad you’re still enjoying all the owls.
If OP is just looking to browse and maybe make the occasional post or comment, any of the clients people recommend are going to be fine. But for anyone active here, Summit has really aided my productivity, it’s very customizable to my style tastes and my workflow, and the dev is very active here and has been an amazing help taking people’s feedback and lightning fast bug fixes. I don’t know if I’d be as active here as I am without Summit being what it is, and I’m very grateful for it.
i like summit because it has good privacy conditions and is extremely customizable and interstellar because it also shows posts from piefed.
Voyager for the lulz. But honestly it’s what I use on both platforms.
I just think it’s so funny that Apollo was iOS only and the developer said it would never come to Android. Voyager is based on Apollo (I think the Apollo source was posted when the app was blocked by Reddit) and it works just fine on Android. I guess because the source was posted and people who care were able to port it. But as far as I can tell it looks and feels like a native iOS app (that was the design goal of Apollo)… on Android. Then again, my Android TV has AirPlay built in, and when you go into the AirPlay settings, Apple’s design language is all over it. We think of Apple/iOS and Google/Android as polar opposites and bitter rivals, but the truth is, they sometimes work together (beyond Google paying Apple millions to keep their search default on iOS). And the two design languages are, not only “just that”, but also not mutually exclusive to one another.
Voyager in the browser
All of them work pretty well. I personally use Thunder because it just works really well with my usage habits (swipe controls are very customizable)
