What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨3dmvr@lemm.ee⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

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.

Currently using Arctic. I was using Voyager for a while, but the Arctic dev (devs?) are so good about bug fixes and adding new features, I had to switch.

  I really love the default ui of thunder, it nailed what I want for lemmy usage.

  I have to get around to customizing it, thunder is mostly solid, a bit laggy sometimes, arctic is prob a better move on ios, I just wanted to get used to it, since piefed is forking thunder for their ios app and that will probably be my main eventually. Arctic is definitely more optimized for ios and the fastest I’ve used.

Thunder. I like being able to customize, and it has just about everything.

Still exploring but why I like Voyager over Mlem is that Voyager can load embeds where Mlem doesn’t seem to have that option. I don’t like to have to tap to see content.

  Mlem testflight supports it.

I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven’t found a reason to change since.

Jerboa has always been great to me. Android. It uses old reddit style and reminds me of Baconreader

Sidenote, Feditext has become my favorite iphone app for Friendica, Mastodon, and Pleroma (supports misskey/sharkey too but I dint have an instance) I tried fedicat and metatext, fedicat is my least favorite with one menu/page for every single feed/profile/notification options. Metatext is sinilar to feditext but lacks some discoveribility features. Like that we’re getting more apps that support multiple apps.

I use both Sync and Voyager.

Both have things I like and don’t

I used connect for nearly 2 years, I like the way it looks and operated and was fairly happy, however after an update this week that introduced a shit load more bugs and didn’t really fix any of the outstanding ones I finally got sick of it.

So this week I have been using Voyager all week, think I’m gonna jump around a few different ones and try and find a new place to stay.

I use connect it works as well as any reddit 3rd party client does. Tried a few other but I like connect best.

Arctic on iOS Closest to Apollo that I’ve found.

Voyager on Android, far above all others

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.

  Someone forked Infinity and made a Lemmy client, called Eternity: f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/

  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.

  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 huntig for anything else. On desktop I like the Alexandrite front end.

  Give Arctic a try. Just a little bit smoother and some great customisation options.

  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.
