Honesty, I am tired of accidentally hitting “back” on my phone and having my feed reset, so I was wondering if any of your clients didn’t do that, while also wanting to check out the competition for Sync.
Boost for Lemmy
Voyager works like a charm for me.
Yup. I use the PWA so I don’t even need to install it. Wish this was more widespread.
PWA?
Progressive web app
Eternity
Jerboa on mobile, the website on desktop.
Jerboa. Made by the Lemmy devs.
Boost for Lemmy since Boost for Reddit was my old app

Just Sync
Fun fact. If you search up reddit on android bar sync comes up.
The app is just called sync what used to be Sync for Lemmy. It still says sync for Lemmy on the play store, I’m not sure if that hasn’t been updated or it’s the official name still.
Voyager
Voyager here, can’t complain.
+1 for Voyager. It’s my first and so far only client that I’ve used, having been on infinity for reddit before switching.
I like it. it’s smooth, works well, and has fairly granular settings for how to handle “read” posts, gesture controls within posts / comments, and so on.
do you have issues with redgifs? they don’t work for me on Voyager
I don’t have issues with redgifs. I thought I recalled a setting similar to media player defaults but I can’t find it, so I must’ve been thinking of infinity for reddit.
does it have anything to do with default browser, I wonder? I’m on grapheneOS with vanadium as my browser.
Voyager, foss, with the auto hide enabled
Auto Hide?
Settings > General > Marking read / hiding
Tah. Hadn’t seen that before.
Connect for lemmy,
Back button asks if you want to exit the app
Looks just like RIF
“Looks just like RIF”
I seriously don’t understand how that’s a positive. RIF always looked and felt like it was badly designed on purpose. Like some shitty thing from the early 2000s. But seeing the shit people do with theming on their phones and other stuff it’s weirdly not surprising, still doesn’t make sense. It’s actually vile looking.
Remember that some really like old reddit for some reason.
While I sort of get it on the desktop, I really not get it on the phone.
I liked Rif and I like this. I’m an old man who has my text messages zoomed in and my wife laughs at me
Seconded
Connect for lemmy, reminds me of rif
Blorp is incredible !
Feature requests are welcome!
And from my friends in the Zip team
No love for Summit here? I’ve tried almost every android app and ended up with this one. Very smooth UI and full of features.
It’s not smooth at all, IMO. Lots of visual annoyances which makes it feel stuttery and just bad. Been a Sync user for years and going from that to any other app is just a bad experience… I try all lemmy apps I come across and they either just look bad, no matter how much I change settings or they lack several major things that I just won’t be without. None has come close to feeling like a replacement yet, and it really sucks that it seems Sync is actually dead now.
I swapped from Sync to Summit and have been loving it. The dev’s super responsive too, which is a big plus.
Plus Summit works with piefed
I came here to say this too, I use voyager but just recently I learned about summit which has fully community moderation abilities
summit is great
