You can use any client you want guys . Lemmy wins
Probably the first comment that doesn’t bash on anyone since this whole thing started.
Lemmy winks ?
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, [email protected] is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Using Connect:
Have a link? Is it open source?
Here’s a play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Where is the “About Instance” feature?
- Tap the three dots overflow menu:
- Select About Instance:
- Select View Communities:
Thanks. I found that earlier. I tried to edit comment. There’s a feature on my app that says “add user comment”… I thought that equaled an edited comment that indicated 'I found the answer".
Wait, what’s wrong with Jerboa? I’m using Jerboa and it’s been great so far
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!
Jerboa definitely has a downvote button lol
Well, I went searching for it again, just to downvote you. 😉 But still can’t find it.
Beats me. 🤷

Jerboa doesn’t autoplay gifs (or didn’t when I used it), that what made me stick to takeoff 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 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.
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.
Oh that’s awesome! Do you know if there’s a way to flip the thumbnails from the right side to the left?

liftoff and infinity are great
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 wasn’t very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I’ve been a long time infinity user. I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t given sync too much of a chance, but here’s what I like about infinity:
- FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
- nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
- multiple account support
- dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
- fairly stable
Thanks for taking the time to write this. I’ll give it a shot
Voyager (now as native app) 👨🍳😙👌
Voyager is nice, but since it’s a native app I can’t download pictures anymore, so I switched to infinity and got used to it…
Yea the only way to do it from Voyagers native app right now is to open the link in your browser. You can hit the share button on Voyager and send the post link to your browser.
This feature can still be added to native apps. RiF used to have a simple hold and save feature. I hope they add that feature soon. I imagine we aren’t the only ones who noticed.
Yup, feels like Apollo before 😊
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.
Infinity for Lemmy is out already? If that’s true, you won’t have to wait too long for all the features you want.
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.
(posted from sync)
Still have a faint hope for Relay
Where does Voyager fit into this?
I had an hard time igonring the slight delay at animations when using it on my phone. I’m usually use it on PC though.
Y’all always forget connect
Using Infinity right now!
I just can’t decide between Sync and Voyager.
Dumb question… I went to beehaw.org on my mobile browser, and clicked “install”. Which app does that mean I’m using?
You’re using your browser and the beehaw website as a PWA (progressive web app)
thanks. so I guess I need to try out one of the actual-apps. Just when I thought I was keeping up with the cool kids…
Haha it’s a valid way of using Lemmy (and other websites!) but yeah, in the meme they’re all android apps. Some are on the play store, some are in beta on github. Not sure which of these (if any) are available on iOS. There’s also Connect which some people like. I prefer Sync personally, but Liftoff is pretty good.
