I only remember switching to Voyager because I was having problems with images and other such things loading when I was using Jerboa when I first jumped ship to Lemmy.
In my heart it's still wefwef, complete with the little rainbow background lemmy.
Sync
Firefox on all the platforms I use.
Same! "open in new tab", history, and bookmarking are the big winners for me. I have Jerboa just to see what things look like on another platform tho.
Thunder has become my main, has the least issues for me, been meaning to customize arctic since its a bit quicker being native. Thunder will sometimes take a bit to post a comment.

Voyager, because it was the most mature and feature complete app available when I left Reddit and I don’t fancy switching again without good reason.
It was a bit of a learning curve initially, coming from RiF, but I’m used to it now and rarely encounter any issues.
Boost here.
I actually still use Boost for Reddit because it's so incredible and unbeatable (especially for moderating), but I decided to lean more open-source otherwise.

Summit. It's the best
Agree, and I have tested a bunch of them so far. It's just so clean!
I use Boost. I tried a few others, and wanted to pick an open source option, but I never found one with UI I was satisfied with.
Just saying, I'm a huge Boost fan (donated, even) and still use its Reddit app to this day. Thunder is marvelous.
Do not use Boost, it is tracking you and selling your data.
Use Jerboa or another trackingless alternative
The app clearly explains that there are two options: a free version with ads and tracking or a paid version with no tracking or ads. Myself and lots of other users are happy to pay the developer for their work, and enjoy Boost with zero tracking or data selling.
If you prefer other apps, or if you only use FOSS, then don't use Boost. It is not and has never claimed to be FOSS. But for me, it's a great app, and having tried 10+ other lemmy clients, I was happy to pay for Boost. I just much prefer the ui and don't think it's wrong to pay a few bucks to a developer who makes an app I like.
Voyager on iOS, Firefox on PC
Connect here. I like how It feels.
I’m also in voyager.
Just the web interface for me - it does everything I want, so I have an instance of Firefox on my phone dedicated to social media, with always open tabs for Lemmy, Discuit, Tildes and Pixelfed.
Old reddit/mlmym on desktop and Sync on Android for me.
The standard Lemmy Web UI on desktop. Eternity on Android.
Firefox in Linux.
PieFed in Firefox on the desktop and Chrome on Android, because this way I can make it full screen there.
It's so cool to see so many different ways to experience Lemmy.
Eternity (infinity for Lemmy)
Was using connect for nearly two years but more and more issues are being introduced and old ones not solved despite a few updates this last month. So currently I have moved over to Voyager, I prefer the way connect is laid out etc but Voyager actually works and as a bonus I can moderate from it.
Boost baby!
Launch the rocket! 🚀

Wish I could have used Thunder but it didn't support older phones (think it was related to something about a certificate with Flutter???). I just use Connect now and customized it to be how Baconreader was for me. Been a great app so far.
I tried a few and settled on Voyager. I like it a lot.
Been using Connect, and currently trying Summit (very nice interface).
I might give Thunder a try.
