(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.

All apps require some customization for my preference. Once I'm done with customizing, there's hardly any difference between apps. I'm currently using Connect, because it's very customizable. I like the list view and the option not to preload pictures to save on data.

Voyager is also pretty good, but the webapp seemed to conflict with my browser. Maybe that's fixed in the native app.

I don't understand why anyone likes card view at all. It's pretty much the reason why I was locked to using a third party app for Reddit in the first place when they "updated" the site back in 2018.

I think card view in a native app mainly works well for communities with high image/video content, other communities are okay either way.

When I used to use Reddit on my desktop's browser the styling would typically be list view, because that was something which I was used to.
