Ask Lemmy

I like Voyager but it's optimised for phones.

You can filter the search by various settings to have just a few selected results. I personally use Voyager on phone and computer.

There are probably better apps but jerboa does it for me.

edit: not to say jerboa is bad

I like Voyager for Lemmy, reminds of Apollo for Reddit.

I personally like Arctic.

I use jerboa

I love Boost, no idea if it's ios

I've tried a bunch of apps, and Thunder is my favorite. I believe it's available for both iOS and Android.

I was a big fan of relay for Reddit, and thunder is the closest I've found.

I've experimented with numerous apps for Lemmy, but Boost for Lemmy has become my go-to choice. It truly has everything I need and is incredibly user-friendly—it's the full package. While I’ve noticed it hasn’t received updates in a while, there’s no reason to fix what isn’t broken. I’ve also tried Voyager, Sync, Thunder, Eternity, and Connect, but none of them have convinced me to switch from Boost.

Sync is what I like. Used it for reddit, then the dev ported it over to lemmy.

I use Boost for Lemmy (paid) as that is what I used to use on Reddit, but I've been seeing the odd message recently of people saying it has been abandoned as there have been no updates. It still functions perfectly fine for me.

Jeroba is nice

I use Eternity.

What device are you on?

I use eternity... It's a perfectly ok Lemmy app 👍

Just because I haven't seen it here: I use Mlem and like it. I haven't tried any other apps but from the comments here it seems no one else has tried Mlem so I'm not sure how it compares. I do enjoy the filtering of keywords. It's indispensable these days.

For iOS, I use Mlem. It’s open source and updated regularly (the TestFlight version at least). It’s got a really nice interface. Lots of little customization options. Feels a lot like Apollo. My second choice is Arctic. A lot of great options, has push notifications. But isn’t open source (yet!) and feels like it’s slightly less polished than Mlem.

I’m looking for Android equivalent to these two apps, but I’m not see anything remotely close.

I used Voyager for a long time, but have been using Arctic for a while now and will probably stick with it. It’s UI/UX isn’t quite as refined as Voyager, but it has feature parity and feels much more like a native app. I’m pretty sure Voyager was originally a web app and in some ways doesn’t behave like a native iOS app. It’s solid though and is actively developed.

It's kind of subjective. I say try them out and see what you like but also remember there's multiple Lemmy web UIs. I like using Interstellar with Mbin

As an ex reddit is fun app user, Summit has a comparable interface that I like.

I was using Voyager, but it lacks notifications. So, now I’m using Arctic. It’s not perfect but it has notifications.

I use Mlem on iOS.

Can someone who uses Lemmy apps explain why? I seriously don't understand why so many people prefer app over just browser.

Welcome!

You should also be sure to check out [email protected], where you can find discussion and connect with devs.

There is a pinned post at the top that lists all of the active apps. iOS especially has a couple that have not received updates in a while, although they may be still useful.

On a larger screen, you might benefit from using a web app. There are several good ones with very active development.

Another vote for Mlem.

Voyager clunky? No ways dude
