Try the first one! If you don't like it, start from the top and go down the list again!
Infinity for reddit mentioned trying to keep developing and if they can't get API access, they said pivoting to a lemmy client is on the table. They posted this in their sub on reddit.
Exciting since I infinity for reddit is a fdroid only client that rawks!
Sync dev is weighing their options too.
Sync for Lemmy would be amazing
Also RedReader
My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API.

We should have Sync for Lemmy!!
Would love to see 3rd party reddit apps migrating to Lemmy platform at some point.
Same, I'm especially hoping to see Infinity for Lemmy someday.
The dev is actually considering it! I certainly hope he finds the time too.
infinity for lemmy

Added. Thanks!
lemming github leads to 404
Thanks! Seems like the project might be abandoned along with Slide. I've moved them to their own group.
Thunder is now available in the Google Play Store.

Added! Thanks!
No problem. Thanks for doing your part to keep Lemmy thriving!
Wow I was going to comment that lemmur is another android app for Lemmy but then I realised it was shut down in February. Does anyone know what the "political differences" are that are cited as one of the reasons for the discontinuation?
I don't know the exact motivations of the Lemmur developer, but 2022 surfaced a lot of community break-points here and it is no secret that the main Lemmy developers at least tolerate if not partially endorse some pretty insufferable people on the Lemmy instances they run.
For those of us who are new here, can you elaborate?
Lemmygrad.ml is all I need to say 😑
That actually just raised more questions lol
Prime example being that you've been tolerated here.
Using Jerboa and Liftoff
Why are you using two different apps?
I have several. Most are new and still need a lot of work. They keep updating quickly, so it's nice to try multiple to find which one works best. At some point I will settle on just one.
Simple, testing
Which one from the above list do you like most? (Asking because I don't want to try all of them)
I prefer Connect!
I tried Connect first but it seemed to default to All view and I just wanted to see Subscribed. I also tried Lift Off but it didn't link to profiles on Mastodon correctly, and finally I tried Jerboa and it does everything right, smooth, and I like all the interface buttons. There were other things I tested too but I just like Jerboa overall.
breaking news:
It's pretty limited so far but I just found this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
label which are foss and which are not!!
Thunder & Liftoff are available on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo
Thanks! I added them!
Well Jerboa is also available on the IzzyOnDroid repo and it is usually faster to update compared to F-Droid.
