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.

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.

Boost in Android works reliably. I haven't really used anything else.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I have used others and to me nothing else has the right blend of stability, performance, good defaults, and ability to customize. Boost is best on android.

I downloaded thunder and voyager. The cards are way too small on thunder so I’m using voyager.

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

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 6 points 5 days ago

I was a RIF user and therefore Jerboa comes naturally to me.

[–] genevieve@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

I like Voyager because I still miss Apollo.

On desktop, either the vanilla PWA for Lemmy, or alexandrite.app. I Really like alexandrite.

On the phone, I flip between Thunder, Summit, Sync, and Connect. Gotta keep a tab on how they develop, and I like them all, for different reasons.

Edit: my current preferred client on mobile is Thunder. Like you say, it feels like a modern way of browsing Lemmy, it's really good.

Connect works for me

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.

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Summit, but it's good enough that I haven't tried many others.

[–] boxfulloffoxes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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 use voyager but I’m gonna try thunder now

[–] Novice_Idiot@lemmy.wtf 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

None-- I use the default website through Chrome.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I used eternity for a long while, but it is buggy and development is slow (if not dead?). So I switched to the Voyager android app and never looked back.

[–] Teknikal@eviltoast.org 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] dave@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

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

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

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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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 4 days ago

Thanks that worked!

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
