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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

I use both Sync and Voyager.

Both have things I like and don't

[–] Evotech 3 points 1 day ago

Voyager. Just very plain and nice.

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.

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

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.

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

Sync on Android

Alexandrite on desktop

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I like Voyager because I still miss Apollo.

[–] Shapillon 9 points 1 day ago

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] 4 points 1 day ago

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

I use Voyager on Android. It's a quality app that just works. On my iPad I use a safari plug in called sink-it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The user tagging and vote counter is the no.1 Voyager feature for me that isn't on any other app as far as I know.

Sync on Android. I'll go down with the ship, I guess. If ljdawson never comes back I'll be forced to look into other options eventually, but for now it still works, despite some bugs. It just looks and feels the best to me, and I've yet to find another app that can exactly replicate how I have it set up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I was in the same boat as you, but I discovered Summit this week. I feel like it fixes a couple of annoyances from Sync.

[–] Zanshi 2 points 15 hours ago

I use sync occasionally, and I found it has some features literally no other app has (or I'm too dumb to find them) like easy instance switching. It's right there on the main screen, you just click instances, pick a federated instance, and boom, now you're seeing stuff from that instance. I wish more apps has that.

https://www.lemmyapps.com/ has a "rating" column, to be compared with "last release"

Connect works for me

Apollo was the best Reddit app on iPhone. Voyager continues its legacy

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

Voyager on Android is the best.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Voyager duh

[–] obinice 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it's the perfect Lemmy client, I didn't have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.

God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍

I'm on Android. It'll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.

Voyager on iOS has worked well enough I haven't gone hunting for anything else. On desktop I like the Alexandrite front end.

Voyager on Android, far above all others

[–] Tattorack 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Currently using Voyager on my Android phone. I like it. Quite the upgrade over Boost (which I was using before, as I really liked Boost for Reddit in the before-times).

Don't like going into Lemmy on PC, though. It looks fugly as hell, and the UI looks like something from the 90s. I wonder if there's a different way of accessing Lemmy through my browser.

Voyager on iOS. It’s the best for my use case and I like the UI the most.

Summit is my favorite after testing Thunder, jerboa and Boost.
