I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

Have tried out quite a few of the apps (was stuck the longest with Voyager, it's awesome) - but I tend to come back to Jerboa ever so often - may be because it is the oldest Android client for Lemmy, so probably the most tried and tested.

I kinda like the vintage look of Jerboa (and the cool icon) - so as soon as Jerboa gets its search feature enhanced (right now it just searches for communities, not posts or comments - but I hear that work is in progress) - Jerboa will become the best Lemmy app out there, at least for me.

Tesseract is essentially a fork of Photon with native video playing and a few more features, you can find a public instance for photon here and can sign into your normal account, a tesseract instance is here

Firefox currently. I have only used the browser, but highly considering building a client for Android.

Yo who keeps adding stuff in other when there are already existing main categories with that name?

As far as I'm concerned, on an AOSP device, a good client should be available in the F-Droid repository.

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it's not good I'm afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.

Was first using Memmy but it felt unfinished and abandoned. Then I switched to Bean. It’s much better but still needs a lot of work. I was not aware there are so many Lemmy clients already. I’m trying Voyager now and it seems very good. As a former Apollo user I feel right at home.

[–] sethadam1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Shout out for Bean! It's a fantastic app that this former Apollo Ultra user thinks is fantastic.

I use the default UI. Partly because I'm used to it, partly because I feel invested in it because of the contributions I've made.

Is there some kind of comparison between these clients? Ideally, I'd want a web client with more customizability than the default one - in particupar, I'd like to be able to set the default view to show subscribed communities instead of the local ones. As I'm running my own instance, I don't have much in terms of local content

Not enough of these are tablet-optimized. I using Syc on my tablet but Memmy on iPhone. I wish Memmy made an Android tablet version.

You should give eternity a try. It is using the infinity UI which worked pretty well on my tablet. You have to add a custom repository to f-droid or use obtainium to install it
