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 use Voyager on Android. It’s a quality app that just works. On my iPad I use a safari plug in called sink-it.
I’m a bit confused. Looking at the App Store Sink it appears to only be for Reddit/Twitter and not Lemmy or am I missing something?
The user tagging and vote counter is the no.1 Voyager feature for me that isn’t on any other app as far as I know.
I was swapping back and forth between that and mlem for a while, I like the custom interaction bar in mlem. Feels nice to finetune, but voyager just works and has plenty of settings to get the necessary customizations. I like that the issue for me is that they are all good, so I just end up using them all.
I’m stuck with voyager now that I’ve invested lots of time into their tagging system.
Thunder on Android. Alexandrite on PC.
Absolutely Thunder for android. Easy, customizable, and is very similar to the app I used for reddit called Relay. Dunno how an apk could be better for using Lemmy.
Jerboa on Android. I don’t really visit Lemmy anywhere else.
Connect for Android was my jam, but now that I’m on Mbin I’m liking Interstellar (which also works with Lemmy).
Connect is the most like the reddit is fun client. How i like to shitpost and see content

Summit is my favorite after testing Thunder, jerboa and Boost.
I’ve tried almost every Android app for Lemmy, and holy heck, do I love Summit the most. It does everything I need it to and more. It looks great. It’s responsive. And the dev is amazing. They respond to bugs, issues, and feature requests lightning fast. No ads. Not FOSS, which is the only thing I’ve seen anyone gripe about.
Been using it almost exclusively for a year or so now, and I can’t praise it enough.
Thank you guys so much 🥲
I seriously worry about coming off creepy or insincere, or else I would shower you with praise more constantly! Your app has made my experience here so much better, and I’m grateful for the things you’ve added to it, sometimes I’m sure, just for me.
You’ve always been really friendly and helpful and lightning fast fixing any issues, and you obviously put a lot of time and work into developing and maintaining the app, and you don’t ask for money or have ads or anything.
None of the other apps are bad or anything, but I still think yours offers the most and the best for me, and how I don’t see Summit near the top of every best Lemmy app posts is crazy to me.
Using Summit on Android. I tried Thunder and Jerboa, but Summit has been the best.
Boost in Android works reliably. I haven’t really used anything else.
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.
Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it’s the perfect Lemmy client, I didn’t have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.
God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍
I’m on Android. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.
Steve Jobs is already in hell though, he ain’t getting your money either way
Haven’t looked around for a while, but I’ve settled on Voyager.

Sadly, F-Droid tries to share the actual binary not a link to it via F-Droid (a la Google Play).
I have the reference application, Jeroba, installed but I don’t really like it and haven’t seen it updated for a while.
I was a RIF user and therefore Jerboa comes naturally to me.
I downloaded thunder and voyager. The cards are way too small on thunder so I’m using voyager.
You can make them fullsize? They can take up your whole screen if you want in thunder lol
Eternity. As lacking in updates it may be, still woks well, and it is super customizable.
Apollo was the best Reddit app on iPhone. Voyager continues its legacy
I loved Apollo! I randomly chose Voyager as my first introduction to Lemmy and it’s been great so far
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.
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
Thanks that worked!
Currently using Voyager on my Android phone. I like it. Quite the upgrade over Boost (which I was using before, as I really liked Boost for Reddit in the before-times).
Don’t like going into Lemmy on PC, though. It looks fugly as hell, and the UI looks like something from the 90s. I wonder if there’s a different way of accessing Lemmy through my browser.
