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?

I can't get away from Sync. Maybe it's about time I do another sweep, but last time I evaluated them I couldn't make anything else look and feel as nice. Lots of customization options too.

Same. But mark read has been broken for a while and at $20+ for no ads or ultra dev really needs to be on top of these updates to justify the price. My ultra expired a few weeks ago, but I'm not paying again unless he stops treating this like reddit. Reddit was pretty stable so didn't mind the long gaps with no updates. But at 5x the cost ...update

Yeah, that's a fair complaint. I didn't know mark read was broken but that's not great. I also wish it properly supported all markdown formatting. Especially with the Media Bias Bot being prevalent the broken spoiler tags are annoying.
