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, !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.
I honestly don’t get the “gotta clean up the code first” stance. Like sure, you don’t want to publish complete spaghetti code without comments. But like, it can’t be that bad right?
Besides, the point of open source is collaboration and so he doesn’t have to do all the “clean up” by himself.Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don’t actually want to publish the code.
I feel it’s used as a minipulation tactic.
- FOSS people don’t want to use closed source software.
- Lie and say you’ll “consider” open source-ing later even though you have no intention of ever doing so.
- Profit.
Mmhmm.
It’s not FOSS but it’s currently free and without ads.

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.
it wouldn’t let me post comments
Voyager (now as native app) 👨🍳😙👌
Yup, feels like Apollo before 😊
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.
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.
Try connect, I recommend it highly.
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
Please excuse my maybe stupid question, but did you manage to move your account from lemmy.world to another instance? If so, would you please share how you did that?
Not stupid, it isn’t straight forward, there’s a python script that helps with transferring subscriptions, posts and comments can’t be transfered though
Check out GitHub.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
You can use Lasim to download your profile settings and subscribed communities from Lemmy.world and then upload to your new account. You need a computer tho, it isn’t a mobile app.
For what it’s worth, posting from sync should be available this week.
How many posts on this topics are gonna be, can’t we put this to rest???
Welcome to the lemmy apps great war
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!
Android only FYI anyone looking for “infinity”
I am on android, and it isn’t in my app store either.
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy it’s available on f-droid, not the play store.
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.
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.
Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed
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
For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.
liftoff and infinity are great
I’ll stick with Connect, thank you.
I started with jerboa a few weeks ago and really wanted to like it most, but then I tried connect and never looked back, it was so good and polished before all the other apps were even barely usable. I haven’t found a single issue with it so far.
Connect is my favorite so far, but I can’t download images or videos with it 😐 I can ask to download things, but then they just never show up. Otherwise pretty happy with it.
Yeah I’ve had a few downloads timeout or disappear but I can usually tell if the little bubble doesn’t pop up that says ‘file saved’. In that case I’ve been opening things in my external browser. Most of the time it works fine for me though.
I’ve never seen the little bubble, lol. It’s just never worked for me :(
