Voyager. I tried a few others but Voyager has a very slick UI and all the features I want.

[-] lando55@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

wefwef 4 lyfe!!

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Same. It was a seamless transition from Apollo (RIP)

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago

Same. Even on android the gestures are better than all others.

[-] HaywardT@lemmy.sdf.org 39 points 5 months ago

Voyager - it was on f droid and it works.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 26 points 5 months ago

Tesseract because I made it. lol

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 5 months ago

Jerboa because it's the closest I have found to RIF other than Liftoff, which no longer works since most instances have updated to 0.19 and above.

The dude working in it had a kid (made an announcement for it) and then hasn't seemed to work on it since. Which is understandable, I guess. Kids ruin everything. 😩

[-] Salix@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Isn't Jerboa an Android native app? I don't think they have a web app like how Alexandrite or Photon are.

Photon because cool design

[-] Gregu@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

That’s my go to app for desktop

[-] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

I use Photon on Android Firefox in light mode. Shocked the hell out of me, too! I use dark mode for everything else.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Alexandrite is the best web front-end for me because of the 2-column view.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Jerboa. Because it's fully open source and it's the first one I installed and I have yet to have enough of a problem with it to look for alternatives. (The left-right swipe features are... not a good thing, but they're not bad enough to make me want to switch.)

Can't you just turn that off in the settings?

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Yes! I didn't even think to check until now. Thank you, kind stranger!

[-] Grangle1@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I'm a Jerboa user too. The left-right swipe is my only criticism as well, mainly because it can be sensitive when you're just trying to scroll up or down.

[-] Xirup@yiffit.net 10 points 5 months ago

Hey OP, I love you! I never used a Lemmy WebApp because I see no sense in it, but I tried Photon because of some comments in your post and holy fuck I have missed so much! It's incredible that I can even have two accounts at the same time from different instances without changing the URL!

The amount of people not knowing what a "web app" is, is seriously concerning.

Anyway, I tried "old" and Alexandrite, but I just ended up sticking with the default. I find "old" ugly, and on Alexandrite, I couldn't find my saved posts. Maybe it has been fixed since, but the default one works for me best.

Boost on Android. Used it for reddit, use it for Lemmy now that it swapped over.

[-] Brokenbutstrong@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Voyager as an iOS pleb

[-] BendyLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

[-] ZeroCool@vger.social 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I use Alexandrite on desktop but I'm excited about Lemmy-UI-Next which (IIRC) is being developed by one of admins of lemm.ee. It looks very promising.

For mobile I'm using Voyager (this account is actually on the instance for supporters.) I've tried everything available for iOS but Voyager is my daily driver, nothing else comes close to ticking as many boxes as Voyager does for me. I have Apollo sideloaded on my phone and it's incredible how much progress Voyager has made toward replicating the experience which is exactly what I want in a mobile app for Lemmy. The only thing it's missing is my favorite Apollo theme (Outrun).

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 months ago

I don't

I use mobile clients and occasionally the main interface

Arctic and Mlem for iOS.

Arctic is my primary, it was the first that I know of to include admin tools, the single developer is super accessible and on top of for resolving bugs and does a good job at supporting markdown both in the editor and the viewer.

Mlem is my backup if I need to access 2 different spots on the Lemmy-verse. It has a great viewer and interface but is missing a markdown editor.

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Photon on desktop (although it's excellent on mobile too), however I use Boost on Android, and Voyager on iOS. Native apps always feel a little more cohesive

[-] Temperche@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago

Thunder because it's sleek.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Firefox, because I fucking hate apps.

[-] johny_joe_1975@discuss.online 4 points 5 months ago

Alexandrite and phtn.app

[-] darcmage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

Voyager but keeping an eye on the development of Raccoon.

[-] ladnopivo@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. I'm also using Voyager, but Raccoon looks promising. 🦝

[-] Nyanix@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

Eternity, loved it on Reddit, love it on Lemmy, bless the Open Source community for keeping it alive

[-] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

old.lemmy.world

Looks exactly like old reddit

~~Sync. It seemed to have the closest feature set to RiF early on and I've just stuck with it since then. I try other apps occasionally. They all have their strengths but Sync feels the most polished.~~

edit: Sync has started the inserting ads into my feed. Maybe they always have and I just didn't see them because I use DNS based ad blocking? They have an ad free version, but it's too much at $20. Even worse, the "ultimate" edition uses a subscription model, or is $99. For a Lemmy app? Insane. Guess it's time to change apps.

[-] Weirdmusic@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Not only does it just work but it's beautiful

[-] DontMakeMoreBabies@kbin.social 3 points 5 months ago

I made a Lite App with Hermit because I don't really trust random app developers? I'm somewhat of a crazy person.

[-] Audacious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Paid version of Boost. I could mute things without having an account, because I couldn't decide on which instance to select. Filters didn't reset either when I finally got an account. Non-account browsing was limited to lemmy.word pov though. I'll still shop around if an app catches my eye.

Eternity cause it feels like I never left Infinity

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Boost. It's cute and I like light mode.

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Damn am i the only one who uses Connect? Lol

[-] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I don't use it much on the desktop but when I do just the normal web interface. On Android I use Boost, because that's what I used previous to Lemmy.

[-] antler@feddit.rocks 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Voyager as a PWA (Android). No need to actually install everything, but still feels the same.
