I started off using Voyager, swapped to Mlem because of slight differences I preferred. Recently found out Thunder for Lemmy is available on the apple appstore and it instantly became my favorite. I like how unique the ui is compared to other, it seems better suited for browsing and posting on Lemmy, while the others feel better for the initial transition from Reddit. Very suprised it has barely any downloads or reviews when its easily the best Lemmy app on IOS.

Thunder reminds me of the more "modern" alternative front ends for lemmy some sites have while mlem and voyager feel more like the alternative reddit apps (blue alien) and give a similar experience.

On desktop, I've been using Friendica.

Currently using Arctic for iOS. I was using Voyager for a while, but the Arctic dev (devs?) are so good about bug fixes and adding new features, I had to switch.

I just really love the default ui of thunder, it nailed what I want for lemmy usage, makes the ocassional lage/wrrors less of an issue. Also like consistent ui across devices, but I find it too annoying to type on my tablet to browse lemmy there.

I have to get around to customizing it, thunder is mostly solid, a bit laggy sometimes, arctic is prob a better move on ios, I just wanted to get used to it, since piefed is forking thunder for their ios app and that will probably be my main eventually. Arctic is definitely more optimized for ios and the fastest I've used.

Thunder. I like being able to customize, and it has just about everything.

Boost for Lemmy on Android with a customised Amoled black theme

Jerboa on mobile. It feels a lot like the reddit client Joey which I liked a lot.

On pc I just use firefox \o

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven't found a reason to change since.

Jerboa has always been great to me. Android. It uses old reddit style and reminds me of Baconreader

Browser on pc, voyager on mobile

Eternity for Lemmy, Android. Used Infinity before, so when I switched to Lemmy, I switched to Eternity.

Voyager on Android, far above all others

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Was using the Voyager app. But now I use the Voyager PWA version through the Hermit app.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I use both Sync and Voyager.

Both have things I like and don't

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Voyager. Just very plain and nice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Still exploring but why I like Voyager over Mlem is that Voyager can load embeds where Mlem doesn’t seem to have that option. I don’t like to have to tap to see content.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Mlem testflight supports it, but its a bit buggy I couldn't make posts without crashing, havent checked the most recent update tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

was using Sync, just installed Voyager today, still have to see which I like better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I used connect for nearly 2 years, I like the way it looks and operated and was fairly happy, however after an update this week that introduced a shit load more bugs and didn't really fix any of the outstanding ones I finally got sick of it.

So this week I have been using Voyager all week, think I'm gonna jump around a few different ones and try and find a new place to stay.

phtn.app is modern looking. Its a client and not an app though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I like Voyager because I still miss Apollo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Summit, but it's good enough that I haven't tried many others.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Connect works for me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Infinity is/was my favorite for Reddit on Android, and Voyager is close enough. Just frilly enough, images/videos embed okay (though need some improvements to saving/downloading), and it just works.

Someone forked Infinity and made a Lemmy client, called Eternity: https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/

Sidenote, Feditext has become my favorite iphone app for Friendica, Mastodon, and Pleroma (supports misskey/sharkey too but I dint have an instance) I tried fedicat and metatext, fedicat is my least favorite with one menu/page for every single feed/profile/notification options. Metatext is sinilar to feditext but lacks some discoveribility features. Like that we're getting more apps that support multiple apps.

Been using thunder for a while, it's good. I just miss notifications sometimes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I use connect it works as well as any reddit 3rd party client does. Tried a few other but I like connect best.

Arctic on iOS Closest to Apollo that I've found.
