I thought it would be a cool idea to do a poll right before the year ends to see what everyone is using
Sync!
It was nice to migrate straight from Reddit and have the app seamlessly just switch right over.
Yep! Sync was one of the easiest app purchases I’ve made in a long time. I spent probably 3 hours a day on average on Reddit, including both business and personal uses. It was well worth the money for something I rely on so heavily.
Though, I’m a bit concerned about Dawson; it seems he’s gone dark.
He’s done that in the past and may do it again.
He is an amazing developer but I can’t help but think that he overworks himself.
Yeah, I remember that from Reddit as well. I just hope he’s doing ok tbh
Sync for me too !
Same! I’m actually shocked it’s winning the poll. Not because it isn’t awesome I just never see anyone talking about it whereas others are always talked about. It’s such a seamless transaction from reddit.
VPN user voting is not allowed
WTF, why? I’m not turning off my VPN.
Yup. Add me to the list of non voters due to VPN.
I did turn mine off and it still denied me for the same reason lol
Same. Immediate nope out.

I’m not even using a VPN and received that message
Voyager all the way
I prefer Voyager because it doesn’t sell my identity and current location to 3rd parties (DDG app confirms this). And it’s a straightforward app with most of the features I miss from Relay for reddit.
Voyager app (Droid-ify, IzzyOnDroid) on mobile, and Alexandrite on desktop. Evocative of the kind of experience delivered by apps like Relay and browser extensions like RES, to name two at random from a small sample.
I just found Alexandrite and it is eye-opening! Beautiful and every feature is perfectly intuitive
Eternity has been perfect for my needs after Liftoff went on break. I can’t vote because of my VPN, though.
Edit: That is, I can’t vote on Strawpoll. Eternity works perfectly!
Eternity is just the best. It’s not the most slick looking but it is feature rich and so snappy!
I love Eternity! It’s the only app I’ve found that implements “swipe between posts” the way Joey and Reddit did. It’s super customizable too!
The one feature I wish it had is “get reply notifications” for posts and comments that are not my own, but I’m still interested in. Anyone know of an app with this feature?
Sync was Reddit for me. Sync is Lemmy for me.
Boost.
Something off with it to me, I have been using Jerboa mostly and boost if there are issues. It might be the having to hold down instead of tap to minimize things I’ve read, or the dark mode having to have the blue instead of just being grey, I keep going back to Jerboa
You can completely customize boosts backgrounds to be whatever you want. I have mine AMOLED.
Thanks! I had only seen the dark/light modes. The step nicer for me now!
My bad, just found out
Hey, I juste installed Jerboa, how do you log into the app?
Thunder for now, unless Liftoff gets patched for 0.19
Liftoff is so good, I don’t know what I’ll do if it stops working
Still on Jerboa because it reminds me of Baconreader
Ditto in on both, maybe baconreader is why I use it over Boost
For iOS it’s Voyager or the browser for me. I’m still hooked on old.style.
I tried a bunch of the iOS ones and ended up on Mlem. Feels akin to Apollo, as most seem to.
Yeah, you can tell it’s a native app. I love Memmy too but it’s just not as smooth, and it gets auto closed way more than Mlem.
I was using Memmy initially but ran into an issue with top comments not being displayed.
I’ve since switched to Voyager and it’s pretty good so far. A few quirks that I think are still being worked through with swipe navigation, but I’m sure it’ll get pinned down.
That’s good to know. I’m new and by chance fell into Memmy. It’s always weird and crashes randomly.
Mlem for iOS has been really good. They also have an active dev scene on GitHub too.
I use my instance’ website in-browser (Firefox) … is that really so uncommon as to not be an option here?
same, I don’t get the point of apps for something that works perfectly fine in a web browser (desktop or mobile)
