    Voyager is fantastic. I started with Memmy and settled on Voyager for a while. But I’m trying Avelon right now and it’s smoooooth. The swipe back function works much better on Avelon, and their “Explore” tab is great.

      Adding my thanks for the suggestion too - avelon looks great! I started with Memmy and I moved on to Voyager and Lemmios. Both are great but both have problems. Loving avelon so far!!

      Avelon is phenomenal. Especially the hide bars on scroll feature. No other app has this. I wonder if it’s hard to develop? I remember the developer of Apollo had quite a few bugs with it in the beginning.

      At least on iOS, I prefer Avelon the best as it’s the most iOS native feeling app. A close second for me on iOS is Mlem. Both I still use from their betas, but both are now in the App Store as well, go give them a try if anyone hasn’t already!

      maybe its a settings thing but for me voyager keeps showing me posts i’ve already seen even they should be marked as read, while avelon keeps showing me new stuff. otherwise they are both wonderful.

      You could argue that 25% for sync is quite something, and almost double that of the next largest competitor.

        I am using it, it’s okay, not as good as Reddit Is Fun was.

        but I have to say I am not as evangelical about pushing open source and lack of telemetry, so I don’t care about unintrusive ads as a free-tier, nor do I care a lot about collecting usage data to improve the app

    I’m waiting for Boost since the reddit exodus. I’ve condemned myself to mobile browsing particularly to be loyal to boost and also the enjoy how much better 3rd party clients are when it’s finally live.

    I went back to using Jerboa since I got pretty tired of the ads in Sync. I understand why they’re there, but it’s still kinda annoying.

      The $20 to go ad free was worth it to me 🤷🏽 Sync is just too good

      Where are the ads? I’ve not seen one, and I don’t have any ad blockers enabled…

    As of late I’m using Jerboa. It was the first thing that popped up when I searched “reddit alternatives” on Bing.

    I used memmy and was happy with it but my blocked instance filter kept disappearing, so now I’m on voyager. It’s not bad but it takes time to get used to it.

      I tried Voyager, but just couldn’t get over the inverted vote colors. Couldn’t find a theme that had it “right”.

        Imagines load with poor resolution in Voyager for me. I dunno why. I love it otherwise.

    I’d use it but I can’t log in. My password is probably too long as it’s randomly generated by my password manager.

    Fwiw can’t login to sync either. It’s all jerboa for me.

      I always wondered why I couldn’t log in using Voyager either. I also use an auto generated password from my password manager, could be related to lengths or a certain special character.

      I also had problems logging in with sync. For me, it was the instance input.

      Somehow, after i filled out the instance, username & password inputs, the form blanked the instance name when submitting.

      I didn’t notice at first.

      Entering the instance name again made it work.

    I use whatever in FDroid. In FDroid there is only Jerboa.

      In my F-Droid, there’s plenty of other! Eternity, Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, Voyager, Lemmur and Combustible when I search for “Lemmy”. Maybe you don’t have all/the same repositories enabled? I’m using Liftoff at the moment, which is great so far, but I haven’t settled yet. I want to try using some of the other ones before I’m sure. For reddit I used Joey, and I would consider switching to Joey for Lemmy if it existed.
