So, I was lurking using sync for Lemmy and I came upon this post.

What happened to the development with these apps? I’m not that active on lemdro.id or other instances. But apps like Sync and Boost have been updated in a year or 6 months respectively. With Boost I’m not surprised Mayo tends to be slow. I was more shocked with sync. My question is do you guys have any recommendations for other Lemmy clients?

Edit Please do not harass the devs.

Edit 2: I’m testing out thunderbird.

    I know that this is stupid and petty, but I dislike Voyager, because it’s essentially a web app. I prefer native or near-native apps (things like Flutter or React Native). I tried it out and it’s pretty nice UI/UX-wise, but I still prefer Arctic on iOS, because it’s an actual native app written in SwiftUI, and thus closer to Apollo for Reddit (which Voyager tries to imitate).

      I am not an iOS user in any way. Does Voyager actually look/feel different than a native Swift app in any way? Or does it just bother you to know, in the back of your mind, that it is not native?

        That’s why I said that this is stupid and petty, but the thought alone makes my blood boil. And it’s not the same as with normal Electron apps on desktop, I also hate those, but for different reasons. Voyager looks just like a native iOS app, which makes this even worse for me, as I’m allergic to this kind of HTML/CSS/JS imitation of native UI libraries. Something about it just feels so wrong to me as a developer, I don’t know.

        But I recommend you don’t actually listen to me, just use whatever you like.
