What's your favorite Lemmy frontend/UI?

Sync for days

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;
}

I just got back into Lemmy and Alexandrite is nice. Boost just launched in beta on Android and seems solid and pretty to boot.

I’ve settled on Memmy (which I think is iOS only). I like that it’s pretty true — maybe 100% true — to the Lemmy web app’s features but with more of a designer’s eye, I guess. Just a lil’ polish. Not trying to be something the backend isn’t ready for.

Boost. Always has been, always will be.

I really like photon. It is very multi-alt friendly, and I can run my own instance of it locally.

old.lemmy.world

I refuse to change

I like Liftoff.

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.

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.

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

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.

Voyager and lemm.ee for me.

Thunder

Eternity for Android and Alexandrite (at https://a.lemmings.world) on desktop.

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!

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.

As an avid Boost user for years, I've been using Connect because it was billed as the closest thing to Boost. However, now that Boost is out I've found myself sticking with Connect. I've just grown to love the look and feel of it.

Jerboa. It was billed to me as "RIF for lemmy" and that's right on the money. It lacks community browsing right now, though, I go to the web UI for that.

Started with sync, but actually prefer Boost.

I really liked Mlmym (the port of the classic Reddit front-end). Unfortunately its main mirror (http://mlmym.org) has disappeared

I tried many but since Boost came out it has been a game changer.

For me there are two big ones: Alexandrite and Photon. Photon is the most feature complete but Alexandrite fills the screen better imho.

Mobile apps, Sync and Boost.

I am on iOS and I use Liftoff. I actually don’t particularly like the looks of it but it is the ONLY app that can do swipe right anywhere to go back.

It is also the only app which allows for a very large text size span. Most apps just have ultra tiny text on the largest settings and that is just unusable on a mini phone.

There are lots and lots of apps but almost all of them fail on the basics.

i use wefwef/voyager and thunder

I like Eternity very much

I really like Photon so far, but I had to tweak the Dark Reader settings a little, as the default look was way to high contrast for me.

I bounce between Eternity and Jerboa. Both are really great and I'm happy to see progress being made on them. It's nice to have options!

I'm accessing via kbin through Firefox, with a shortcut 'installed' through the Firefox feature on Android. Started on Kbin, the UI wasn't terrible and didn't change
