Eternity is good.
To name a few others, Liftoff, Thunder, Jerboa, Voyager are worth a look.

I recommend Boost, even thought it has some proprietary stuff and ads. I used it on Reddit so it was a smooth transition.
Welcome welcome! There are a lot of apps to choose from, check out here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/
Jerboa is my choice, but what you settle on depends on what features you want.
Arctic is my daily driver.
I used memmy.
Loving Mlem on iOS
Jerboa is the "official"
I know you put in scare quotes, but I have to note for newcomers: as an open software built on an open web standard, 3rd party apps are first class citizens for Lemmy

I've tried a number of them and Jerboa has worked the best for me
I use Boost for Lemmy
Voyager has all the features. There are only a couple others that are full featured.

I don't use apps. I like the web interface (except for the fact that it doesn't work on my PC.....can't figure out why). So I can't help you there, BUT, seeing as you're new this whole thing, and seeing as it can it be overwhelming, might I suggest you take a gander at [email protected] when you get a chance?
A couple of things you'll take note of that are a bit different than over at reddit. First off, we don't masturbate into shoeboxs for years on end, and then allow the semen to accumulate, thus producing disgusting horrific clumps that need radioactive gloves to dispose of.
We don't do the whole "What's in the safe?" posts.
We're missing a lot of the niche communities, and we're missing the audience to house them.
And finally, everybody has already agree'd, I am the ultimate supreme master, and everybody has to give me all their money at all times. So, be prepared to cough it up, newbie.
Fun fact, only one of my previous statements is an outright lie! Can you spot the imposter?
I like the web interface (except for the fact that it doesn't work on my PC.....can't figure out why).
Do you happen to be running an outdated system, by chance? I've got a really old Chromebook that's past its lifecycle and doesn't get updates anymore, and it has problems displaying most Lemmy instances properly as a result.
It's a Windows 7, that I haven't updated in years. The browser is probably older than most people here would be comfortable with. Sometimes websites will say things like "You need to update your browser", but then the browser works just fine on their site.
Lemmy is the only one that legitimately doesn't work right. It just has a spinny circle that never loads. Just spins forever.
Yup, that's probably the issue then. My Chromebook is running a version of Chrome from like 4 years ago, so most Lemmy instances have broken formatting that stops loading anything beyond a broken header.
It's kinda weird, because Lemmy is generally a pretty low-tech platform, so I'm not sure what about the web UI causes problems with older browsers. Not my area of expertise, so I'm afraid I don't have much in terms of a solution, lol.

I'm sorry for not answering OP's question but I have a similar question. Is there an app that has been mentioned here support mbin (kbin folk)?
i think there is only interstellar
Oh thanks, it is only for Android for now right?
yes
That's correct. When we know of more apps, they'll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.
Thanks, hope more to be added.
Thunder has been great so far
It loves to freeze up randomly while scrolling and take fucking forever to become responsive again (usually I just kill it), but ignoring that, it's a pretty solid app.
No way to reply to direct messages, though. Gotta pull up the instance site. So other than that...
I like the link previews. Not getting rickrolled again.
We're no strangers to love...
Friendly Social Browser is decent but I would recommend an actual app for it
There's like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.
I've tried a few, voyager fits what I need.

I'm using Jerboa
I recommend trying a few of them out to see which one(s) you like:
- Connect
- Boost
- Jerboa
- Sync
I liked Jerboa, but after a lemmy upgrade, Jerboa took too long to support the new protocol, so I switched to Voyager. I would probably be using Jerboa again noe if there was a simple way of exporting my blocks et al. back to Jerboa.
Unless an app is doing something weird, your blocks should be tied to the account and not the app.
I still use Jerboa. I'm a fan.
See the website https://join-lemmy.org/apps
.
Sync allows user tagging, but it's a feature of the Ultra version since those tags are stored on sync's private server. Ultra got a few other perks such as in-app translation, text extraction (from pictures / screenshots) etc., but it's rather pricey.

I use voyager which I know is available on iOS. There’s a lot of android options as well.
Voyager is good in some ways but I think Mlem is better in a bunch more ways. I really dislike that in voyager when you are typing a comment you can’t pull down to see the thread or anything at all as it tries to delete your comment. Why in the world would I want to delete my comment by pulling down like that? So many apps do that, like YouTube.
I find mlem better in all ways except is has all sorts of annoying haptic actions and weird alerts, but they seem to be attenuating with each update
I use Voyager on Android with the iOS theme.
Voyager gang.
I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.
It's not perfect, but it's the least sucky Lemmy experience I've had so far.
Voyager

Many of the third party Reddit apps switched to Lemmy when the API got locked down. I'm using Sync for Lemmy, but there's plenty others.
