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.

      Same. The dev is very active and open to suggestions. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and it’s working great.

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

      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 have used others and to me nothing else has the right blend of stability, performance, good defaults, and ability to customize. Boost is best on android.

      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.

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

    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.
