Wait, what's wrong with Jerboa? I'm using Jerboa and it's been great so far
Jerboa doesn't autoplay gifs (or didn't when I used it), that what made me stick to liftoff and I don't regret it.
It kept crashing randomly for me.
I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we're all Reddit refugees I presume).
I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn't the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn't very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn't appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.
I'd used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!
I'm still waiting for Boost for Lemmy to come out. Maybe I'll try Infinity though if it's a great as you say
Ah, a fellow Boost enjoyer. That was my favorite Reddit app by far.
I'm on the same bandwagon, boost was n1 but infinity n2... So... If they take too long I might give it a go.
I've been flipping between Jerboa and liftoff. Unless I'm missing something Jerboa doesn't have the downvote arrow. Not that I ever downvote anyway. But besides that, I think I like the feel of Jerboa better.
Sort options seem better in liftoff though (again, unless I'm missing something in Jerboa).
I'll probably give infinity a try now because of this post.
Your server (https://reddthat.com) has disabled downvotes, jerboa respects the server's settings.
Aha! That's good to know. Thanks!

Don't forget Connect! It's probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The "About Instance" function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Using Connect:
Have a link? Is it open source?
It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he's cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that's worth.

It's not FOSS but it's currently free and without ads.

Ah man. Infinity just hits different.
Tried Jerboa, Sync and Thunder (and Artemis + web app for kbin).
Sync seems the most polished because it came from Reddit, but the fact that you can't post in Sync right now makes it really hard to dig in and dedicate to it.
Thunder feels like a more polished version of Jerboa, but I'm not a huge fan of the Material You design and big iconography in any of these apps (I came from RIF, so I'm used to basically early 2010s UI, lol).
Artemis is unevalautable right now given its severe alpha state.
And of course, lemmy.world is having connection issues, so none of the apps really "work" right now, no fault of their own. At least Thunder seems to cache old data, since it's populated when I open it, versus Sync which can't make a connection.
What do you mean cannot post in Sync? I'm using Sync since day 1 and can post, like this comment
But sync can't submit new posts yet. Only comments.
oh shit right, this is why it's still a beta
Just migrated my main account from Lemmy world, not their fault but there's too many users in that instance, which is causing downtimes too often

Was using infinity on Reddit and was waiting for a good fork for lemmy. Really feels like home now.
Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!
I'm stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.
Jerboa has been criticality underrated since its first or second post-exodus update. I've tried almost all of these (and Connect) and other than when .world is having issues but still reachable by Voyager, I use Jerboa.
How many posts on this topics are gonna be, can't we put this to rest????
Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.
sync is just a more polished app since it came from reddit. but infinity is the same, and boost will be the same too.
chose the app you like most and support its dev.

Still have a faint hope for Relay
Honestly my biggest complaint is that so far only Sync seems to have a built-in browser. I don't like having things redirected to my browser.
Infinity for Lemmy has the option to open links with an in-app browser or with an external one.

Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed
I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.
Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.

I am using Infinity. It has been working great so far. It is one of the most themeable Lemmy clients I know of.
Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently

How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I'm considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync's "remove ads" (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).

I just can't decide between Sync and Voyager.
Rn the state of Infinity for Lemmy feels mostly complete (aside from a few expected bugs built from being a fork working with a totally different API), but besides that, the app is absolutely fire. I was a heavy IfR user in the past and it even convinced me to make an account (I was mostly a lurker) but when spez starting treating 3rd party devs like shit I gtfo there, just hoping that docille or another dev would have forked infinity and yet, here we are.
