Looking for the best FOSS android app for Lemmy.
I use Eternity because I heavily used Infinity, the Reddit app that it’s forked from
Eternity ftw
I just use jerboa
Eternity is great! Best UI in my opinion.
Jerboah is the oldest but best.
Thunder is my favorite with Voyager a close second.
Voyager is way more popular, but I don’t like it’s iOS-like UI, so I went with Thunder
voyager is easiest to use.
eternity is most customizable.
i use both.Just downloaded Eternity after using Jerboa for a while. This is so much better, even more so since I used Infinity for reddit.
As some others, I use Jerboa. Tried a few others, but happy with it.
My top choices:
- Jerboa and Eternity are native Android apps (the first uses modern technologies like Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, the second one has a lot of Java code and the UI is made with XML layouts for activities/fragments);
- Voyager is portable web app built with React in Typescript, with mobile flavours made using Ionic capacitor;
- Thunder is a cross-platform app built with Flutter in Dart (like Liftoff and Lemmur were in their days);
- there are other FOSS apps like Combustibile (native/Java+XML) or Muffed (Flutter)…
I just want one that opens the lemmy links properly when I click on them from within in posts. I have all links selected in open default apps.
That’s an interesting point… Jerboa should handle Lemmy handles correctly in the form
!element@host
.Also hyperlinks in the form of https://host/u/name (or https://host/c/name) are intercepted and opened in app.
I’m not its maintainer but I read its source code and IIRC those cases are handled…

Voyager is nice and gets updated frequently
Ive only used jebora. Till I saw this one in a few posts. Kinda digging it. Its a tad more “modern” feeling. I guess. Thanks.
No problem. I liked it initially for the modern feeling too and then came to enjoy the gesture based controls
Summit is what I use.
Jerboa with Dracula theme of course.
Boost and Voyager
I like Eternity
