(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.

    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.

      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.

    I prefer Infinity the most, but while I’m waiting for it to get more daily-use ready (I mean, it basically is for regular use, but am at least waiting for beta release), I’m using Liftoff and have been very happy with it.

    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.

    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’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.

    I’m using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can’t decide which is better, so I’m interested in others people love.

      I prefer Liftoff, mainly because I am plagued by a well-known bug in jerboa that makes writing comments a big pain. However, since infinity got semi usable (it still has a bunch of references to reddit in its ui and the messages/replies page is broken) I have only used liftoff to check for replies. I am just used to infinity from years of reddit usage lol

        I started Reddit almost 2 years ago, and used Infinity. I avoided all social media since MyPage but finally gave in for Reddit. It was Toxic, then it went to hell in a handbasket like Twitter.
