Avelon
Scrolled way to far to find this! Best one on iOS hands down.
Thunder rn. The design is minimalistic and supports Material You. It lacks some major features though.
I'm using Avelon on Ios and I think it's great. I was using Voyager until some months ago.
Jerboa because you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. And it's FOSS.
Boost is still smoother and feels nicer though.
Connect is the closest to Relay which was my favourite Reddit app. It also doesn't have ads.
All I can say is that projects were many on iOS during the Reddit API debacle in June and that now, barely any gets updated.
I'm on Summit now, it's quite nice. I've managed to set it up to feel similar enough to RiF.
Eternity, for now.
Bean for reading and commenting. It has only one issue and hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later. When someone responds to your comment and you tap to see it, you don't always land on the right spot in the thread. If it's a short thread, you'll be fine, but in a long thread you just can't find where the comment is. In those situations I use Voyager, Thunder or Liftoff. Once Bean fixes that issue, it's going to be the perfect Lemmy client for me.
I tried Jerbora and now stick to Connect, haven't tried boost coz Connect has been great recently
Connect on phone, voyager on desktop
I recently switched to Eternity and I'm loving it so far. Only been using it a day, but I haven't run into any issues or anything to dislike.
I personally do not want to use any applications that have ads/tracking. I don't believe they have any place on Lemmy. I know already that I'm gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but I understand that these devs need to make money somehow. I just think it goes against the whole freer internet thing. Despite this, I don't really have a problem with them because they are contributing to the growth of Lemmy. And besides it is way better than using a centralised social media platform haha, so it will remain a personal choice.
I've tried a few for ios and landed on Bean.
Thunder. It was the best one out there for me during the early reddit downfall and now that it has everything I need featurewise I love it. Having watched it's devolopment I also feel a little attached to it.
