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 voyager feel more like the alternative reddit apps (blue alien) and give a similar experience.

On desktop, I've been using Friendica.

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.

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

All Android; Eternity because it's much more "Lemmy like" and is one of the own to actually not sure downvotes on my instance which have them disabled with Boost a very close second because I've loved launching the rocket for years (and unlike SpaceX, my rocket launches don't explode and are actually successful)

Desktop, I love DracuLemmy

I'm quite happy with Jerboa on GrapheneOS, and on desktop I prefer to visit Lemmy via Tesseract.

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

[-] Delusion6903@discuss.online 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Jerboa on Android. I don't really visit Lemmy anywhere else.

I’m trying out Thunder and it seems great but I can’t figure out how to show the upvote counts. Not sure if it’s a bug or a setting I need to change.

[-] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Settings for each individual user, easy to change, goto settings and theres one long menu item that says individual feed settings, then its just toggling show upvotes/downvotes on, some instances had it off by default

[-] mastersamwise@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks that worked!

None-- I use the default website through Chrome.

Connect works for me

[-] FossilVerbrechen@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

phtn.app is modern looking. Its a client and not an app though

[-] genevieve 3 points 1 week ago

I like Voyager because I still miss Apollo.

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.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Voyager. Just very plain and nice.

[-] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

I use both Sync and Voyager.

Both have things I like and don't

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.

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

[-] stopforgettingit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

was using Sync, just installed Voyager today, still have to see which I like better.

[-] Novice_Idiot@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 week ago

Been using thunder for a while, it's good. I just miss notifications sometimes

[-] Teknikal@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I try to use Thunder but still mostly use my instance's tesseract UI when I need to do moderation as Thunder lacks them.

[-] anas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I tried both Thunder and Mlem, but I guess I’m too used to Apollo, and I prefer ~~wefwef~~ Voyager because of that.

[-] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

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)

[-] anamethatisnt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'm a big fan of using https:// in Mull on my Android, and in Firefox on my PC.
Never been a fan of installing more apps then necessary.
