I’m finding that I like bits and pieces from the various available frontends, but I haven’t heavily gravitated towards one in particular.

If you have gravitated towards a specific UI, which one and why?

      Used Sync at the other place with Boost as the primary backup. Doing the same here plus keeping Jerboa around.

    On mobile it’s Voyager. On desktop it’s the default Lemmy UI with the darkly-compact theme. The latter definitely feels like a modern old.reddit.

    I’m also using these CSS overrides (using the Stylus extension on Firefox) as darkly-compact’s line-height is too small and videos/GIFs stretched too much:

    .post-listing {
    line-height: 1.5 !important;
}

video {
    width: 25vw !important;
}

      Photon’s so clean. From a pure design perspective, it might be my favorite.

      But after trying Alexandrite, I started missing the paneling. It seems really easy to lose your location on Photon since you gotta click into everything.

      Haven’t decided between Photon’s nicer UI vs. Alexandrite’s more convenient UX.

    I’m still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I’ll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.

      Lmao same. A couple months ago it would crash sometimes (which might have been an issue with me or my device), but not anymore. I haven’t tried anything else, but jeroba has served me well so far 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

    Alexandrite on desktop. Thunder and Liftoff for mobile because they do not look like a clone of Apollo that all the other apps seem to try to emulate.

      yeah are we the only ones that think apollo is clunky and gross and everyone emulating it is the same?

    If you used Infinity for Reddit, then Eternity for Lemmy is right for you. That’s what I use.

      I like Voyager. But the last week or so, it’s been saying update available. I go to the settings and tell it to update. The app kinda flashes and restarts, and then within a minute it says update available again.

      Has anyone else has this happen?

    I’m enjoying Mlem for iOS. Quite a few display options and customizations, and runs smoothly. I haven’t totally decided on it yet though, as I am still testing quite a few.

    Edit: This post got me to try out some of the apps again, and I think I may actually use Avelon on iOS for now. Seems to be closer to Apollo, which I enjoy.

      Seconding Thunder as it is the only Android app I’ve found that I like the design of and doesn’t lag whenever scrolling through loads of image posts.

    If you aren’t dead set on running FOSS only Boost is a slick running app on Android. Good filtering features and blocking. Everything loads clean and fast. The unpaid version has ads but they are unobtrusive. I barely notice them.

    Alexandrite on desktop.

    Switches up the doom scrolling feel of mobile and makes it feel more like a tool you can use to consume and interact with people and posts. Big part of that is desktop. But alexandrite is rather nice too!
