Voyager is fantastic. I started with Memmy and settled on Voyager for a while. But Iβm trying Avelon right now and itβs smoooooth. The swipe back function works much better on Avelon, and their βExploreβ tab is great.

Oooh, shiny. Thanks for the suggestion, itβs beautiful
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 itβs hard to develop? I remember the developer of Apollo had quite a few bugs with it in the beginning.

I like the fact that no client has a majority
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
Try liftoff, it's as close as possible to RIF.

This can be blessing and a curse.
This made me so happy to see people talking about my poll! This is exactly why I wanted to make it! :)

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'm also a former boost user, for now I'm using liftoff
Is Voyager worth it? I don't mind Jerboa
I use Voyager PWA myself it's pretty good
I like both, and I say use what you're comfortable with.
Eh, Jerboa is okay, but the typing is janky. I might switch away from it just for that reason.
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.

Have been loving Sync Ultra since release. Recently added Summary feature and link previews are awesome.

I've been enjoying connect
I would like to see how this poll was shared because that could introduce bias for example sharing it in communities where users of a specific lemmy client are in the majority
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 Iβm on voyager. Itβs not bad but it takes time to get used to it.

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.

Eternity is too low on the list imo.
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.

Using connect cause it's the first one that popped up on a search when I originally switched. Can anyone give me good reasons to use a different one on this list?
Voyager is basically a clone of Apollo, with support for both Android's and iOS's UI styles. Apollo was one of the best Reddit experiences, and it often won awards every year. Also, Voyager is pretty damn polished, it's super reliable, and it has one of the most complete Lemmy feature sets.
If you're an Android user who has never used Apollo, it's worth a look to see what all the hype was about. If you're on iOS and miss Apollo, Voyager is kind of a no brainer.
Only problem is that the app and play store builds still don't have push notifications implemented. Also no mod tools quite yet.

I alternate between voyager and Avelon. I like that Avelon has better swipe options. Swipe back from anywhere is a must imo.

I am looking for an alternative to Jerboa. While I like it, I would prefer an app with moderation tools and without the weird backspace bug when writing posts/comments. Does anyone have a recommendation for me?
