What are some of the 'best' Lemmy apps for Android? (beehaw.org)

(single quotes around best for subjectivity) I'm trying to get all of my Android using friends and family into the Fediverse.

I'm an iOS user, so I have no idea about Android apps.

I really really wanted to use Jerboa. I love Jerboas and I love FOSS.

But I tried sync today and it's just better.

Really disappointed at the pricing model but I'm just ad blocking it in protest of the insane pricing.

As an app though, I'd happily buy it for a reasonable price given the quality.

Man, I really think you should either saddle up, don't block ads, or use a free, non-ad-supported alternative.

Sync is made by a single dev who uses it as his main source of income. It's not made by a corporation. Taking the fruits of someone's labor, that they have priced to make it worth their time, feels kinda shitty to me.

If you really feel it's so much better than the alternatives that you won't even use them, then pay what the person making it feels they need to keep making it.
