Hey I figured I'd make a post and see the state of current lemmy appage, since I'm looking for a good one. So far I've used Jerboa, Thunder, Eternity, and Voyager.

Eternity seems to be a dead project, it's full of bugs and hasn't recieved an update since The Exodus

Thunder seems ok and is what I'm using right now, but I can't seem to send direct messages, and can't "Don't blur NSFW preview on NSFW comms" which sucks. The messaging is the dealbreaker for me.

Voyager I used momentarily but the UI was not my favorite.

Jerboa seems OK if unpolished (which is ok to me) but I don't trust the rabid idealogue that makes it and using another instance of his site is one thing, but installing an app is another. Has it been audited to confirm lack of spyware?

Ideally through this I can find one with instance blocking, DMs, and a decent UI. What're your experiences with the current state of lemmy apps?

These are my favorite apps in preference order right now:

Summit
Boost
Eternity
Voyager
Thunder
Sync (seriously the damn mark as read on scroll needs to be fixed to be on top 2 again...)

I'd tell my issues with each client just as I did with Sync, but I don't want to sound mean... (Also they are very specific for my usage and my device I guess), so I chose to keep things positive because we have plenty of pretty good clients! :)

Of course I am missing some other clients but those are the ones that stick in my "Social" folder the most time.
