I need your opinion and suggestions on the best Lemmy client to use.
P.S., I currently use Voyager as my client.
Welp, I’m on voyager too lol
😎
The search is powerful!
Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.
Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.
Mlem is a lot better than Voyager. Better features, faster, has fewer errors messages. At least for me.
I loved Apollo and appreciate Voyager but it doesn’t respect hiding read posts very well so I turned to Mlem which is now my favorite. The v2 beta is even better, adding easy markdown formatting and some nicer UI enhancements (the vote counter scrolling up or down on vote is a nice touch).

It does, it’s just not consistent. Mlem is. I still have Voyager and check it every once in a while.

Nope
Thanks for the feedback.
No one here using Jerboa??
It’s fine but if you compare Jerboa side to side with Sync, you see that Sync is much smoother.
Yep, the only decent mobile client.
Use use jerboa! I like the fact that you can see downvotes although I’m not sure if it’s specifically a jerboa thing or some apps just don’t do it
I tried a bunch of apps last year and settled on jerboa. My only complaint is the inability to default sort comments by old.
I found one person that reply to me using it.
I use it. Had tried Voyager for a day or so, but came back to Jerboa.
I’m curious about Eternity, since I am a Infinity user. Haven’t tried it yet.
I started using thunder when I got my current phone, which I do prefer but I liked Jerboa too.
I settled on it after trying Sync
when I tried it, it lagged like no other app does. it genuinely had 10-20 fps
Thunder. Special mention to Arctic for its ability to embed and play gifs/videos in-app.
👍🏼
Eternity for Lemmy
That’s my client of choice
Many of them recommend this client too.
Connect is cool, no ads, buy-me-a-coffee support
It features powerful filters that allows me to stay away from current usa politics (by keywords) and from websites I wouldn’t consume content (by URL)
I find its layout more legible, be it overview or listing communities etc. Also features direct links to overall instances, ability to switch accounts or browse other instances as guest
Dev is open to requests / suggestions (and bug reports) in c/lemmyconnect, tho their availability is spotty
Still a pretty solid app, with these filters being the one feature I need IRL. Fuck trump, fuck x.com, etc etc.
I’ll give a try soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
It’s been my choice since day 1.
I use connect as well, great app
I loved infinity for reddit so I’m on eternity for Lemmy (a fork of infinity). The other I use is Jerboa. Haven’t enjoyed anything else I’ve tried, not that I’ve tried everything.
Love it! I think I’ll settle for Voyager.
I just use Jerboa since that was the most mature app when the Reddit drama happened. I haven’t tried other clients because it’s Good Enough™ for me
Good for you, mate.
If you’re on android I can highly recommend Eternity. Open source and a fork of Infinity for Reddit; which is still going as a paid service post Reddit API débâcle. I loved Infinity prior to Reddit being a bitch and Eternity is just as great
How about on iOS? 🥲
Tried all, ended up using Summit.
Wow, that’s the new thing for me!
Summit is a wonderful app, and the dev is super helpful. Can’t recommend Summit enough.
Same. Summit is amazing and since starting to use it a year ago I haven’t even wanted to try anything else again.
And for reference I used to use baconreader for a decade over on Reddit. Summit has a similar vibe for me.

Summit bug (you posted the same comment three times)?

I’ve used Memmy, Avalon, and settled on Voyager because Apollo just scratched that itch like nothing else. There’s not really any terrible choice other than web/no client app.
So at the very end you choose Voyager, right?
Yeppers, Memmy is delightful and Avalon is really beautiful but Apollo aka Voyager was what I was always seeking
Noted. Thanks for the suggestion, mate.
I used to use Boost for Reddit so I naturally started using Boost for Lemmy when it came out. But for some reason I wasn’t quite satisfied with it.
I’m currently on Thunder and have been liking it a lot. Don’t really hear it talked about much though.
👍🏼
Voyager is the best for me. Used Apollo for Reddit for years on my iPhone, so Voyager on Android just feels familiar and comfortable. Like sleeping in your own bed.
I’m using iOS but still feel comfortable to use Voyager in my iPhone.
Mlem
👍🏼
If you’re on iOS, Arctic made some big updates that make it arguably better than Voyager IMO. The biggest thing that got me was color picker themes, so you can literally make your own theme (and save and share them). Also the markdown is pretty great now. Voyager is still pretty solid and very good performance and features.
I see. Glad to hear your opinion.
