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.

Jerboa on mobile. It feels a lot like the reddit client Joey which I liked a lot.

On pc I just use firefox \o

Summit, but it's good enough that I haven't tried many others.

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've had the least issues with voyager, its the fastest and least buggy ive used, but also the least customizable, just works tho which is nice

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

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

It just didn't feel right using a ui ive used for reddit, still felt like I was using reddit (which is what I wanted at first, but now I want it to look different because it feels different)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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.

Voyager on mobile, Photon on desktop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Im liking phtn app so far, tesseract is also nice for desktop

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

None-- I use the default website through Chrome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Settings for each individual user, easy to change, goto settings and theres one long menu item that says individual feed settings, then its just toggling show upvotes/downvotes on, some instances had it off by default

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.

All Android; Eternity because it's much more "Lemmy like" and is one of the own to actually not sure downvotes on my instance which have them disabled with Boost a very close second because I've loved launching the rocket for years (and unlike SpaceX, my rocket launches don't explode and are actually successful)

Desktop, I love DracuLemmy

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

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

Eternity. As lacking in updates it may be, still woks well, and it is super customizable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Boost in Android works reliably. I haven't really used anything else.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I downloaded thunder and voyager. The cards are way too small on thunder so I’m using voyager.

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

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

Using Summit on Android. I tried Thunder and Jerboa, but Summit has been the best.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 was a RIF user and therefore Jerboa comes naturally to me.
