What is the best app to browse Lemmy
I currently use Blorp
I heard Jerboa is also good which one are you using? Best if app is available on fdroid
Voyager for me.
Me too, lack some features I like from other apps like Boost, like ability to block people/communities from the homepage but still the best overall.
You can, long hold the username or community and a quick menu appears.
Wow, thank you! Been using Voyager on both my tablet and phone pretty much since day one and only now learn about it.
Yea, I only found out about it a month or so ago.
I bounce between Boost & Voyager. Will be checking out Blorp myself, thanks!
Big fan of Thunder app. Great FOSS option and has tons of customization options!
honestly Thunder doesn’t get enough love in posts like these. you often expect FOSS apps to not be very good, but I can’t imagine using anything other than Thunder at this point
Could not agree more! Thunder is actually better experience than some of the paid apps I used for Reddit… You know when they still had an option for a non-shit tier mobile experience 😬
Summit is absolutely wonderful
Another vote for Summit. Does everything I need it to and more, and has a very active developer. It’s available on the play store but I get it from github via Obtainium. https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy
Is summit foss?
On its github there is no license.
Yes! I linked the android release page, here is the source github https://github.com/idunnololz/summit

I’m trying Blorp right now, since I do not want to figure out how to side load Jerboa onto my Android. (Thanks Google you bag of dicks.) So far Blorp is great, my only complaint being I wish three was a way to increase text/font size because I am old now and my eyeballs don’t work as well as they did.
Blorp dev here. I think you should be able to increase this via some system setting, though admittedly I’ve only tested this on iOS. The goal was to read whatever os preference you set for font size, but if this isn’t working for people, I may need to add an app level override.
I made the native font bigger on my phone and it fixed it. Thanks!
Waterfox, it’s a fork of Firefox with no AI slop.
You don’t need an app, just open it in browser.
I use Thunder, and I am very happy with it generally.
I used to use (and paid for) Sync for Lemmy previously, but I had the impression bugs didn’t get fixed, so I switched away from them.Summit’s an easy recommendation.

AGPL3.0, according to this repo.
Yep!
Sync
I’m using boost
I use connect. No other reason than it’s the first I tried and I’ve not been annoyed enough to switch.
Jerboa. It was the first one I found working and installed, and didn’t see a reason to change unless it stops working - like RiF before it. If it aint broke why switch.
I’ve been using interstellar (alexandrite on desktop) for some time and rather like it. Nice clean and useful UI, a bit buggy at times. Only other one I tried was voyager but wasn’t a huge fan.
