I searched up "Lemmy" on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I'll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs

Edit: I apparently wasn't clear enough but I was asking for OTHER clients that aren't on this list X3 but feel free to share why u use an app in this list if u want anyway :3

why do people use boost? heard it has ads in it. not to mention it collects and shares data. it baffles me why anyone would use it over something like voyager. (also its a proprietary app for a FOSS project)

I use it, it's great. No ads since I paid for it. Of course it collects and shares data, by definition as it's a client to third parties platforms.

many other lemmy clients don't collect and share data like boost does, bud.

I used to use boost for reddit so I was excited it was coming for Lemmy until I saw all the anti privacy aspects of it.

By the time it and sync finally launched. There were so many great foss apps for Lemmy that it made no sense to use one that tracked me.

The tracking disclaimer is the standard message you get when an app uses Google ads. Pay for it and there are no ads, and by extension no tracking.
