Android

Thunder is nice.

Swiping to do things really makes a clean UI.

I'm using both. I paid to have the ads removed on sync and the dev does great work but I think I prefer infinity. I'll probably just throw my donations going forward to this and my instance on the fediverse.

I keep flip-flopping between thunder and liftoff. I like the visual design of liftoff but thunder feels easier to use .... I could probably fiddle about with their settings and make one that last bit better than the other in either direction but I'm not sure wich way to go. (Posted from Liftoff)

I just downloaded infinity to give it a shot and I find the UI to be a little rougher around the edges. The most noticeable is the layout of posts on the feed - the icons dont look like they are consistent sizes and the lack of grouping compared to Sync (like having a box around both vote and vote count) makes it look more cluttered. I also think the default theme color (the intense blue color) kinda hurts my eyes because it's too high contrast maybe, so changing that was the first thing I did- I think having a milder default would provide a better out of the box experience.

I have no major gripes about the base functionality, they're both functional enough for me but the aesthetics of sync win for now. Also it seems like both sync and infinity don't collapse the comment you pressed and only the replies, making it seemingly impossible to collapse top level comments which inconveniences how I read threads, by collapsing top level comments as I go down the thread - long top comments stay expanded so I have to scroll past a lot more.

Those are my first impressions based on never using either sync or infinity (be it lemmy or reddit) before like this week.

Edit: Just downloaded Connect too, looks very similar to Sync in level of polish so I think those will probably be my top 2

Sync looks fine, so does Infinity, but I'd like to wait to switch over until there's an option to see both upvotes and downvotes separately, as is the case for certain instances

I'm trying Sync, Infinity and Thunder. I like Sync and Thunder because I like the polished UI. Infinity looks and feels kinda 'old'. But this is just me. All three deliver the feeling of coming home. They work like before, but with Lemmy features like images in comments. It's like Reddit but on the fediverse.

For the time being I'm sticking with Voyager. Sync is a lil too pricey and Infinity doesn't quite feel finished it's Lemmy migration (was my fav reddit app)

I have been rotating through most lemmy clients on android, and the truth is I haven't been satisfied with any of them, although Jerboa was best of them even though the search was a bit lacking. I used Infinity on reddit and was kinda bummed it wasn't coming here. I found out about this fork 3 versions ago and am not looking back.

Wefwef/Voyager still feels superior to me. Will still test sync for a bit but I couldn't find any unique selling point yet.

Boost For *Lemmy

So far Sync seems pretty smooth, but it's also kind of an ineffective use of screen space with too much space around elements.
