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 vyager feel more like the alternative reddit apps (blue alien) and give a similar experience.

    Eternity. As lacking in updates it may be, still woks well, and it is super customizable.

    Sync on Android. I’ll go down with the ship, I guess. If ljdawson never comes back I’ll be forced to look into other options eventually, but for now it still works, despite some bugs. It just looks and feels the best to me, and I’ve yet to find another app that can exactly replicate how I have it set up.

      Excellent, just the example I needed to prevent me from examining my own use of Sync. I picked it up straight off of RiF and it’s been mostly fine. Spoilers rarely work and sometimes it just straight up can’t “fetch the image,” but I can do the things I care about, like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks. 10 out of 10 for me.

    Connect for Android was my jam, but now that I’m on Mbin I’m liking Interstellar (which also works with Lemmy).

    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 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.

      It also feels more natural. It seems it was actually written in swift. Other apps feel like they were written in some framework, which causes inconsistencies from the rest of iOS.

      It’s also in constant development. I’m on the TestFlight and contribute via bug reports if I find any. I love seeing the new updates.

      I tried it for a while, but it left the rotation, I barely checked the customization options on that one tho, ill give it another try, when I had media not shwoing up or working on the other apps it still worked in Arctic everytime.

        Something that only it seems to have, versus the others I compared it to, is a “headline” view for the feed. It’s essentially an extra compact version of the compact view, putting the post’s community name in line with the upvote, downvote, comment counts and post age. Only saves a bit of space compared to the comparison I made a few minutes ago in trying Thunder’s compact view, but most of all it makes the feed less cluttered, in my opinion.

          I enjoy customization more than using stuff sometimes, so I’m really enjoying all the options these apps have, voyagers got relatively less customization but I like that too, kinda like both extremes of heavy customization and being forced to use a certain ui thats been optimized.

    Voyager on iOS. It’s the best for my use case and I like the UI the most.
