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

      I was swapping back and forth between that and mlem for a while, I like the custom interaction bar in mlem. Feels nice to finetune, but voyager just works and has plenty of settings to get the necessary customizations. I like that the issue for me is that they are all good, so I just end up using them all.

      I’m a bit confused. Looking at the App Store Sink it appears to only be for Reddit/Twitter and not Lemmy or am I missing something?

    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.

      Excellent, just the example I needed to prevent me from examining my own use of Sync. I picked it up straight off of RiF and it’s been mostly fine. Spoilers rarely work and sometimes it just straight up can’t “fetch the image,” but I can do the things I care about, like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks. 10 out of 10 for me.

      Same boat. I’m really happy with my current look and feel, and I have no reason to change at this time.

      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.

      I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I’m on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.

      I was a Sync user on Reddit. Thunder has reproduced that feel for me here. The one place it didn’t I contributed (2-column tablet mode)

      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.

      I loved Apollo! I randomly chose Voyager as my first introduction to Lemmy and it’s been great so far

    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.

    I’m using Eternity, I haven’t tried more so I can’t compare, but I liked Eternity enough to don’t have the need to try others.

      Absolutely Thunder for android. Easy, customizable, and is very similar to the app I used for reddit called Relay. Dunno how an apk could be better for using Lemmy.

      I’ve tried almost every Android app for Lemmy, and holy heck, do I love Summit the most. It does everything I need it to and more. It looks great. It’s responsive. And the dev is amazing. They respond to bugs, issues, and feature requests lightning fast. No ads. Not FOSS, which is the only thing I’ve seen anyone gripe about.

      Been using it almost exclusively for a year or so now, and I can’t praise it enough.

          I seriously worry about coming off creepy or insincere, or else I would shower you with praise more constantly! Your app has made my experience here so much better, and I’m grateful for the things you’ve added to it, sometimes I’m sure, just for me.

          You’ve always been really friendly and helpful and lightning fast fixing any issues, and you obviously put a lot of time and work into developing and maintaining the app, and you don’t ask for money or have ads or anything.

          None of the other apps are bad or anything, but I still think yours offers the most and the best for me, and how I don’t see Summit near the top of every best Lemmy app posts is crazy to me.

    Haven’t looked around for a while, but I’ve settled on Voyager.

    https://github.com/aeharding/voyager#readme

    Sadly, F-Droid tries to share the actual binary not a link to it via F-Droid (a la Google Play).

    I have the reference application, Jeroba, installed but I don’t really like it and haven’t seen it updated for a while.

    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.

      Ton of alternate frontends mentioned here, I like phtn.app, you can loginto multiple accounts from different instances, tesseract is also nice.

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

      Voyager is my go to. But it doesn’t load Redgifs for me. Which isn’t a deal breaker as I do most of my browsing at work, but there are times when no one’s looking so it’d be nice to have.

      Give Arctic a try. Just a little bit smoother and some great customisation options.
