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 vyager feel more like the alternative reddit apps (blue alien) and give a similar experience.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    I tried both Thunder and Mlem, but I guess I’m too used to Apollo, and I prefer wefwef Voyager because of that.

    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.

    Lemmy on desktop, though it has issues. Logs me out when opening a post, seems to occasionally roll me back a page too far when backing out of a post, and the UI can be scrolled out of sight on firefox.

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

    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.

    I’m trying out Thunder and it seems great but I can’t figure out how to show the upvote counts. Not sure if it’s a bug or a setting I need to change.

    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.

      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.

      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.

        I’m in the same boat. The ads have become terrible for me so I’m in the market for a new app anyway. I was hesitant to purchase a subscription because of the low number of releases.

        Glad I didn’t

        […] like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks.

        Thunder can be used for that too, you blithering imbecile.

        (Sync alumnus, only on Thunder because I moved to iOS. Sync is still the best 😢)
