There's like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.
I use voyager which I know is available on iOS. There’s a lot of android options as well.
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.
I use voyager on android and I'm happy with it so far.
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
Tell me to didn't try without saying you didn't try.
I searched Lemmy in the app store. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why there are a bunch of third-party apps that connect to Lemmy. But it seemed like Voyager was popular, so I went with that.
I would read up on how the fediverse works if you don't understand why there are so many "third-party" apps.
These 2 things are not related though? Reddit is not part of the fediverse and had plenty of third party apps until they changed the API.
It does answer why there's no official app, which is the question.
There were many third party Reddit apps before Reddit had their official app. And you could argue that Jerboa is the official Lemmy app since it is made by one of the main Lemmy devs.
Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.
However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it's as close to "first party" as you can get.
Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.
That's because there's no "first party". Just protocols and people
I recommend trying a few of them out to see which one(s) you like:
Thunder has been great so far
I like the link previews. Not getting rickrolled again.
We're no strangers to love...
I've been using Jerboa, which does the job well enough.
If you used RIF for reddit it will be very familiar.
Eternity is good.
To name a few others, Liftoff, Thunder, Jerboa, Voyager are worth a look.
Voyager for Iiphone is the best I’ve found
Voyager for Android is the best I've found
Boost is great too
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.
I'm using Jerboa
Arctic is my daily driver.
I've only ever used sync since the sync Reddit stopped working (fuck those [Reddit] people). Haven't been back since. Also with ad block and a VPN, I don't get any ads on the free version.
i use jerbora the only issue no notifications and maybe idk how to setup
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.
Voyager has all the features. There are only a couple others that are full featured.
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
Loving Mlem on iOS
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 !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca 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'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
That's correct. When we know of more apps, they'll be added here: joinmbin.org/apps.
