I'm only using connect because it has the hide read/scrolled past post feature. With all the other apps I've tried and I've tried them all they always show the exact same post for like a day straight because they don't go away when I have already looked at them.
- How do you do that? hide posts you've already seen
  
  Tap the hamburger icon, select settings, enable "Hide read post", save settings.
- Same, gonna switch to boost asap.
  
  What makes boost so good?

I went to the playstore, and looked for boost. Although it's not yet released, it already lists the data that will be collected (quite a lot).
Meanwhile jerboa states that it collects and shares no data. It has room for improvement, but it's fully functional and fits my needs for browsing Lemmy.
- Jerboa seems to work fine for me. Reviews complained about minor issues and crashing but I haven't experienced any of that.
  
  Didn't have any crashes, the only small issue I have is that scrolling isn't always very smooth, although it's better with the latest release.
  
  For me, scrolling was very laggy on jerboa. Liftoff is silky smooth.
  
  When I first started it was super buggy and couldn't even login properly but checked in after a while and its working pretty well now. Ig those are old reviews before they fixed all the issues.
- Connect doesn't collect or share any data either. I've personally had a better experience with Connect than I had with Jerboa.
  
  I only had issues with jerboa when they were unable to update the instance. Now that that's done it's been fine for me.
  I like the way jerboa handles the UI better than Connect. I've used WefWef as well and I keep coming back to jerboa.

Wewef is my go to. It is so far the fastest and it gets updates frequently. Also love the swipe to vote and swipe to replay.
- Its very basic. The mobile web version has loads more feature
  I'll use it when it already has block user and block community.
  Btw. Connect for lemmy has block Instance . The only current app to have that feature as far as i know

I use liftoff and I like it.

I'm using Thunder and I love the look and feel but it's obvious that it's still in alpha with all the broken/missing features

What about Connect?
- Honestly I probably will still get sync pro for Lemmy but Connect is really good and depending on how things go I might keep it.
  
  Connect has some annoying quirks but overall has been pretty good.
  Though not gonna lie, the Lemmy web interface isn't really that bad either. It's not an app to be sure, but at least it runs pretty smooth.
- I'm happily using Connect. I doubt I'll be switching to Boost or Sync when they arrive, since I wasn't using them for Reddit however, if Relay for Lemmy becomes a thing I could be interested.
- Connect keeps getting left out on these and it makes me a little more sad because I know I'm going to easily forget it the second sync drops.

I have only tried jerboa and is currently using the PWA. Is there any of the apps that looks like RIF, and has dark mode support?
- People say liftoff is the most RIF like
  
  Thanks. That seems like a good fit for me.
- I have jerboa, and it's in dark mode. But maybe that's sobre pre set thing of my phone
  
  Just checked, and it's in dark mode for me as well, so that must have been added/fixed in an update. But I was recommended to try Liftoff in the meantime, and do prefer to use that right now.

Using liftoff rn but I have boost for lemmy scheduled to download when it releases

Memmy and Mlem gang checking in.
- Memmy s+ tier app
- There you go!

I'm using Liftoff atm, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to try Sync when it comes.

I'm rocking with the PWA for now but you better believe I'm signed up for that Boost release

Me: can't decide between Connect, Liftoff and Jerboa. I'll try Sync and Boost on release day

Love Sync, but liftoff has potential too.

I am gonna try sync but I really like liftoff so I'm not sure I will make the switch

I'm waiting for Slide, I might even try to help the development but idk shit about android apps so maybe it's better I don't touch it lmao.
Slide has the best customization I have seen for any reddit app hands down.
- Slide was great. Is it being actively developed for Lemmy or are you just hoping?

  The last commit was 2 days ago which shows promise. It's not the same author, but slide was on source anyways so the more publicity and contributors it gets, the better.
