(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
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!
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.
Liftoff is working really well for me!
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.

Every of the “Hot” app there is a solid choice, but it will probably depend on their personal preferences
Wow so many
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.
Sync followed by Liftoff
Sync followed by Jerboa, for me.
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.
@admin tell me I’m not the only person in the world who thought ‘Lemmy???’ What on earth does it mean nowadays?
Lemmy is to reddit as Mastadon is to Twitter
you just replied to the post they’ve made on Lemmy.
I had a look on F-Droid and it seems that Jerboa and Lemmur are your best options.
My understanding is that Lemmur is effectively abandoned and won’t work
Someone forked it, so it should rise from the ashes like a phoenix
it already has, the fork is named Liftoff and many people seem to like it.
Oh, sorry. I’ve done a bit more looking, though, and Thunder looks quite good as well.
Give Liftoff a look!
Infinity is great, much cleaner/easier to read layout compared to Sync IMO.
Sync, Liftoff and Voyager are the three I’ve used. They’re all good.
I’m using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can’t decide which is better, so I’m interested in others people love.
I have the same problem. I have Liftoff set for one if my Profiles, and Jerboa for the other one.
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.
