Title + Why you like that client?
I am using eternity from some hours and my fav is liftoff.
Boost just launched today. Loved it for Reddit
Boost gang!
The big turn off on eternity is that videos doesn’t play automatically (not sure its hidden inside the 100s of options to tweak the UI). Boost supports viewing videos directly.
Eternity, free and open source, but also because I’m used to Infinity when it was still cool.
Jerboa, because it just works and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
Liftoff
Using Connect, it was the second app I tried during the time there were a lot of connection issues with Jerboa (the errors weren’t their fault, but they weren’t handled as gracefully as I would’ve liked at the time). No complaints really, so I’ve stuck with it.
Boost for Lemmy just released, works great so far!
Perhaps biased because I’m so used to Boost for Reddit
I just started using it an hour ago and I already paid the $3.50 for ad free (one time purchase, by the way) and I’m uninstalling all other apps I was trying. Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, Connect… All dead to me. 😆
Jerboah actually. Its the most complete, stable and looks very good. Used Thunder but it lacks features and is kinda buggy. I was hyped about Infinity, but I only really needed Infinity to have private subscriptions and multi accounts, which I dont have on Lemmy.
Jerboa doesn’t have proper search functionality.
So search by text? Is there an app that has it?
I mean its search is limited to finding communities and we can’t really search for posts, users or comments using keywords. Sadly, among FOSS apps only eternity has a decent search functionality but it’s still under development and lil buggy. Liftoff does categorize searches but doesn’t have the functionality of searching within communities. So far only Boost, Sync and Connect seem to have it and none of them is open source.
Very interesting! I will give Eternity another chance.
I use Connect and I’ve liked it. being able to block communities I don’t want in my feed is easy and I get the impression that other apps don’t have this feature. I can also block posts by keywords which is also nice not having to see post after post about Elon or furries
I came from rif is fun and so I’m using Jerboa now. I don’t need a fancy UI, I need minimalism.
Jeroba because it’s dev made and it was like the only one when I got on Lemmy. And it’s actually good. Recently started using Eternity as well because I was using Infinity as my main client for reddit.
Eternity. I was using infinity for years for reddead and having an in-situ replacement is nice.
Considering this is the FOSS sub maybe the people suggesting Boost and Sync might want to suggest something else… It’s like people suggesting dairy cheddar for someone asking for a good lactose free cheese 🥲
But yeah, Jerboa is a popular client and one of the OGs as far as I know.
I personally enjoy Jerboa which is AGPL-3 and has a very sleek interface while being cross platform. Also felt a lot more complete than Jerboa did back when I tried it in July but im sure both are more similar nowadays
Jerboa, it’s kind of ugly but, yk, never change a running system. Just works.
last time people thought that we tried disenfranchising non white men
what
how did this go from “use jerboa it’s pretty good” to something about racism
Boost for Lemmy
Jerboa, was the only maintained one when I joined and I’m used to it now
