Just installed what popped up first in F-Droid search (Jerboa) and not feeling like I need something else - everything just works and UI/UX feels natural.
I have Sync and Jerboa, and I must say, Sync is polished and smooth and makes it more simple to use. I haven’t tried the Infinity for Lemmy but I might test that one out, too.
I have been giving all the apps a go as well. I was using RIF for over 5yrs prior to the switch. I grabbed the sync app as soon as it was available and was so impressed that I immediately bought ultra, mostly to support the developers. I know it’s steep, but maybe as more users start using lemmy the price will come down a bit.
So far I am very impressed with sync. I love how granular the controls are even to the point of having different settings for different logins. Account switching is super easy between several alts that I have and I am really looking forward to being able to import my community subscription to my back up instances in the near future. More than happy with my purchase and I hope the developers continue their outstanding work.
I am using multiple apps right now. Sync feels really smooth. Summit also comes close in terms of fluidity I feel. I like Thunder and Liftoff as well. Waiting for more improvements on Thunder.
Sync is pretty good but its font options are awful on my phone. If I set the comments font size to “huge”, it’s still smaller than e.g. the clock in the notification bar. And then it’s an unreasonably large jump from “huge” to “header”.
It needs a simple font size slider instead of preset mystery values. As it is, it’s just uncomfortable to use.
Not sure if Sync for Reddit had the same problem since I used other clients more.
Try going into setting and modifying “Base font size” then based off that modify comment and post font sizes accordingly? I had the same issue and the base font size allowed for more precise modification
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.
Really loving Sync. I would be happy if I had to use it forever, but I will swap to Boost if that ever comes out because I’m just more familiar with it.
I am happy with Jerboa. I used to use Boost and Infinity for Reddit. I tried out Infinity, Voyager, Sync and connect. So far, Jerboa has been the best experience for me.
