Best Lemmy App in 2024 (lemmy.world)

submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

I used Memmy up until development stopped and now use Voyager. It feels the most like Apollo did so it's got my vote for best app

I personally use Thunder. It looks great.

I use boost and voyager

In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn't returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.

So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it's been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.

Sync. Customizable, pretty, working without issues, dev keeps on updating. Really good app..

Boost is also great.

Jerboa
Using it since it's the app from a lemmy dev.
It's decent for my use.
Tho, some option simulating the multireddit option would be good. But it might be becoming a feature request for lemmy than a lemmy app there.

I am fully on the Sync train. It does get a lot of hate here because it's not FOSS, but it was the best app around for Reddit, and the dev converted it for Lemmy. It's so far above and beyond everything else that I'm happy to pay for it. There's a free version with ads, and there's the expensive paid upgrade ($20). The dev regularly disappears for months, but when he surfaces, he'll roll out a massive amount of bug fixes and features.

I haven't really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I'm perfectly happy with it.

I love the Connect app(Play store link). It's incredibly feature-rich for being so early in the game.
