Sync is going to shit.
Blorp from fdroid platform not google play
I tried Thunder, and Connect, and Summit and Voyager and Boost. Nothing matched the experience I preferred with Sync, but it’s clearly abandoned by the developer and has many compatibility issues and bugs. So I signed up with a PieFed instance and downloaded Blorp. It doesn’t have quite as many features yet, but it’s the closest to what I want…

It’s a webapp, and I fucking love web apps. Also has quality-of-life improvements like making it easier to see modlogs or checking the account age of new accounts.
I am quite happy with Voyager
+1 for Voyager from me
Top voted this is what I’m going with
Voyager but the lack of the language field is not great. Posting with Voyager gets you less reach
I’m brand new to Lemmy and grabbed voyager to get started, can you elaborate? I’d be grateful as i’m still a noob.
The app still doesn’t support the localisation needed to get optimal discovery on Lemmy. Lemmy has a language field for each post which Voyager leaves blank. Lots of users have a setting “only show me posts in English” which then filters out posts where the language is set to <undefined> It’s been a “feature request” that’s been open for years.
Aha, thanks for clarifying!
Welcome aboard, good to have you
There are places for requests/suggestions. That can be fixed.
I have you voted +5 right now actually (including this).
If you want to break peoples profiles, Voyager is the way!
You mean see through the profile lies by seeing people’s actual usernames, not screen names, while also seeing if an account is less then a month old.
Don’t be delusional about it LOL, you don’t get to see one of their picked names for the account, their profile description or their profile picture
Voyager
Voyager. Don’t remember why I stuck to this one, but the others I tried lacked some features I wanted.
I like it because it is pretty much the Lemmy successor to Apollo for Reddit.
Jerboa
Jeroba is for Jabronis
for me it’s the gestures
Thunder
Started on Jeroba, but Thunder just felt more intuitive.

Jay for thunder
Summit and Interstellar are my two favorite’s right now.
I second Summit.
I still have Sync because I transitioned with it from Reddit, but Summit is now my daily driver.
Samesies
Voyager and the website
Boost (Android)
It was the best app for Reddit before. Now it’s the best app for Lemmy.
On boost as well.
Good stuff.
Ditto Boost. I have accounts on Lemmy and PieFed both on the same app.
I really like boost as well.
Using paid Boost. Worth it.
Boost as well, used Sync but now it is a mess
Jerboa
Boost. Only problem I have is videos often only play in thumbnail and load infinitely when clicked on. Not that important for me though.
With Jerboa and Voyager there were a lot of small problems that just made the experience worse.
boost is the porn one
?
boost is the one for porn
but… why are you saying that? what makes boost for lemmy the porn client?
displays images and videos in a two column tile layout without thread titles
Voyager
Username checks out
I’m using Jerboa, even though I saw what Blorp is like, and I’m preparing g to switch (just used to Jerboa UI)
Blorp dev here. We’d love to have you! Let me know if there is anything preventing you from switching that I can improve.
- Touch zone on the back arrow of the media viewer is too small and I have to get out my electron microscope every time I want to go back to list view
- Media viewer doesn’t support touch functions like double tap to zoom
- i want to mark as read on scroll in the c/all view (or really any community list view
- When writing comments, there are some inconsistencies in capitalization of the first word (see the I in #3 that wasn’t capitalized)
- Just noticed a bug when creating list items. Create an item, hit the carriage return to create a new item. Tap delete. The list number is removed but the cursor is in a sub item of the previous list item. Tap delete again. The first list element is deleted and your text is moved out of the list
These are rather nitpicky items. I use Blorp every day and like it more than Voyager, Arctic and Mlem
I don’t mind nitpicky, but I appreciate labeling this as nice to have rather than a must. I’ll see what I can do, thanks!
Sorry, swipe down to exit is the gesture that doesn’t work in the media viewer. Double tap does zoom properly
These are all P0 😉
I can reply to someone, I can even tap the “quote” formatting button, but I can’t select text to copy/paste! Very irritating, but maybe I’m just not doing it right…
This is fixed, but I haven’t released the update yet. The fix will go out in version 1.10.2. I’ll try and get that out in a week or so.
That’s great news! No rush and don’t overwork yourself, though. We can be patient…
Honestly knowing I have active users makes me feel less burnout. Since I don’t track user engagement, sometimes I wonder if people are still enjoying Blorp. A review, comment, or star on GitHub goes a long way.
is there a way to implement display names?
more compact view with no thumbnails like this
Try the “Extra Compact” setting
Very cool
Connect
Second this, it is great and gets regular updates
Sometimes I just have problems saving settings, does it happen to you too?
Nah not that I have ever noticed, I hmdont really change the settings though either.
Thx for your reply, maybe it’s my phone I will check in my second phone 👍✌️
