Racoon for lemmy Grayjay for video Antennapod for podcasts
Racoon for lemmy
This is the 1st time I decided to check about this (I have heard that name before here), after a 1st glance it looks a lot like Boost for Lemmy, and since Boost seems to be the best working client for me at this moment (image and posts load for example is way faster than Summit, Voyager and Eternity), in terms of speed Sync for Lemmy is faster, but it is so broken with my current instance that is not worth to use it anymore.
I might install Raccoon soonish :)
About the racoon recommendation have you tried other Lemmy apps? Curious what made you choose racoon
I have tried one other app which was Jerboa for lemmy but found Racoon easier to use so I stuck with it ever since.
I’m using Thunder.
- Jerboa
- Firefox
- Feedly
- Home Assistant
- Ghost Commander
- Joplin
- Moon+ Reader Pro
- Avenza
- Kodi
- Twilight
Honorable mentions to Newpipe and Termux.
Firefox is absolutely horrendous on mobile. A lot of websites don’t render properly, or when scrolling everything jumps around. Browsing Facebook is especially bad. Also UX is a lot worse than competing browsers.
I disagree about the UX but that is probably just my preference. I use Facebook marketplace sometimes and it seems fully functional, no jumping around or whatever. Every now and then I have to use desktop mode but only on like government sites. Maybe it’s because I use an ad blocker that I don’t notice the problems you report.
- Voyager for Lemmy

I see you’re a person with great taste in Android apps. Thanks for introducing me to Medito! I need to chill.
Just curious how people really enjoy twitch. I can’t spend time just watching people play games or doing stuff while I could be doing things
I sometimes watch IRL streamers from parts of the world I’ve never been to. I’ve never been to New York City but due to watching streams from a bike messenger I feel like I know the city quite well.
That’s actually nice

Honorable mention to Kinestop, finally being able to use my phone on a vehicle? It was the last place where I would dare to doom scroll!
I seriously could go on… I have too many apps.
I’m pretty basic:
- Sync
- Chrome
- Antenna Pod
- Guardian newspaper app
- Google Play Books
- Libby
Why sync over the other lemmy apps?
I don’t think I even use 10 apps, I use like 3 of them
- Jerboa for Lemmy
- Firefox w/ unlock origin
- WriterP for note taking
- Message/Gmail/other system apps
- Anylist
- Catima

- Lawnchair launcher
(In no particular order)
