I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.

P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.

Sync has had serious issues in the past such as an easily triggered, reproducible, guaranteed crash on open, with the dev not putting out a fix for months. This neglect goes back several years, to back when Sync was a Reddit client. Most infamously he disappeared for over a year when his UI refresh wasn’t well received.

The app is great (I’m only on Boost due to user tags requiring a paid subscription in Sync), but his response time to issues is glacial. And it doesn’t help that it’s by far the most expensive client if you want it ad-free, and features that used to be free now require an even more expensive subscription to use on top of that.

First I’ve heard of any show stopping bugs. Been running fine for me (lemmy and reddit) and countless others. Maybe some niche incompatibility with your device.

The crash I referenced was caused by having the scrollbar enabled IIRC, and it was fixed earlier this year. It made it impossible to launch the main activity without crashing, so users were sharing workarounds to launch directly to the settings screen without loading any communities so they could disable the setting.
