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.

None-- I use the default website through Chrome.

Eternity for Lemmy, Android. Used Infinity before, so when I switched to Lemmy, I switched to Eternity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

Connect works for me

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

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.

Voyager. Just very plain and nice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I use both Sync and Voyager.

Both have things I like and don't

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks that worked!

Thunder. I like being able to customize, and it has just about everything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Currently using Arctic for iOS. I was using Voyager for a while, but the Arctic dev (devs?) are so good about bug fixes and adding new features, I had to switch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I have to get around to customizing it, thunder is mostly solid, a bit laggy sometimes, arctic is prob a better move on ios, I just wanted to get used to it, since piefed is forking thunder for their ios app and that will probably be my main eventually. Arctic is definitely more optimized for ios and the fastest I've used.

I just really love the default ui of thunder, it nailed what I want for lemmy usage, makes the ocassional lage/wrrors less of an issue. Also like consistent ui across devices, but I find it too annoying to type on my tablet to browse lemmy there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months 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)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

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