Eternity, hands down the best,

open source = no ads or tracking

very cutomisable, smooth navigation, no major bugs. + supports older phones

For me it’s very buggy, although I still like it the most.

Does it mark read on scroll? I checked it out early but it seemed to lack that feature.

I personally don’t use the feature, but I just tested it and it seems to work. How well, I don’t know; it would require more extensive usage.

In case you end up trying Eternity again, the setting is under preferences -> post history.

The big turn off on eternity is that videos doesn’t play automatically (not sure its hidden inside the 100s of options to tweak the UI). Boost supports viewing videos directly.

The ad-supported free option is still there. But yeah, if you want premium, you’ll need to buy again.

Personally I use sync. I know it’s a touchy subject but it works flawlessly for me. I did buy the $20 no ads option so ads don’t affect me at all.

You don’t need to throw disclaimers, all FOSS bros need to understand that we can use whatever the heck we want, so they can.

Anyone can use whatever they want, ofc. But this is the opensource sub, lol

I used infinity for reddit, so naturally I switched to eternity.

There was a poll a week ago and it reached over 6000 votes. That won’t answer Why, but you get a general idea which clients people use.

That was before boost was released. I bet it’ll look different now.

They’re using sync. I think that has the same issues

I used Liftoff for quite a while. It just stopped working one day about 3-ish weeks ago. Couldn’t ever get it to work again. I might be an outlier, but if others had the same experience it may explain it.

It’s a good app, but it also hasn’t received an update in two months.

That’s a shame, well I guess I’ll keep using it till it stops working. Then I would probably be switching back to Eternity as I used to use Infinity

I’m using Eternity, because I used Infinity for Reddit before and it’s just the most familiar client for me.

It needs to be updated to include Boost… maybe in a couple of weeks…
