I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i’m new to Lemmy and looking for a good client to use it with. I’ve been using Sync which is what i used to use with Reddit but i’ve noticed that it isn’t getting updates now. Any other good mobile apps I can usr Lemmy with?
Eternity is great
Connect is great, extensive filtering available. I use it as my main and jerboa as backup.
Voyager hands down
There’s a problem that it seems to use a lot of memory, because it’s a web browser in disguise. As a consequence, any time another app needs memory, Voyager is killed by Android and starts again from the main page, forgetting what I was doing. Oftentimes it’s enough to switch to the actual browser and back again for Voyager to restart, which is ironic for a link-aggregator app.
Its animations are janky for the same reason, and get in the way of some functionality like collapsing comments.
Voyager’s UI is great, mainly because it’s not flashy, but a native app with that UI would be a lot better. RedReader for Reddit is much smoother to use.
I’m quite happy with Voyager, never used anything else.
Took a look and love it, mostly because it looks like an iOS app but on Android. I’ve really missed iOS app design and this is just refreshing lol.
For me it reminds more of some rather spartan apps that are economic with their interface — namely RedReader for Reddit. No fluff in the UI. Which is why I like both these apps, however Voyager would be better if it was implemented natively instead of in Flutter.
At least in iOS, it reminds me a lot of what used to be the Apollo app for Reddit. Voyager is fantastic and currently includes working, but limited Piefed compatibility.
Thunder. The only one which is FLOSS, on F-Droid, updated, and actually good.
If you liked RIF you’re gonna like Jerboa.
NB: The jerboa dev is one of the lemmy devs and it works great for lemmy, but it is never gonna support piefed.
Blorp has been amazing for me, thats what I am using rn.
2nd blorp!
Im using Summit. Its really nice and the developer is active and listens to the community!

I replaced Sync which is what I used for Reddit, for Summit. No issues at all and actively developed, unlike Sync. It’s clearly taken a lot of inspiration from Sync’s feature set and I am very happy with it.
That’s the client I use alongside Mlem.
Seconding Summit, it’s a good one
Third for Summit
Fourth for Summit.
Say what you like, Summit Squad are nothing if not dedicated.
Summit is peak!
I’ve been pretty happy with Blorp. They have mobile and web clients available
+1 for Blorp, moved there from Voyager after seeing active development.
Blorp dev here. Thanks for the support! Not only is the app actively maintained, but I do my best to lurk in the comments and help people with any issues.
You are doing a great job, thx!
Mlem - replaced Voyager for me.
I’m trying this app out now based on your comment, and so far it seems really nice. I may replace Voyager with it as well.
I’m on android and the app seems to be iOS only sadly, but thanks anyway. Will remember this one if I ever switch to iOS.
Boost!
The best by far. He had a great app for that other shit site.
Try it, you’ll like it. Guarantee.
Tried boost for reddit but I didn’t like the ui and it seems like they’ve still got the same ui on the Lemmy version
As in the other comment… You can change all types of UI settings.
Layout, fonts, title font colors, comment font colors, etc.
Honestly, so much available, it’s actually a little overwhelming for me.
The current Lemmy version is very customizable. I think it has seven basic types of views, which are further customizable how you like. You can kinda make it look like whatever you want.
Indeed. Actually more choices than I can even deal with… yet, great!
May be unpopular, but I haven’t found anything that works better than jerboa. It’s maintained by the Lemmy devs. It’s simple, open source, customizable.
I use Raccoon. It’s on Fdroid. Pretty neat UI :)
What is happening with Raccoon? There is no update in a long while now.
I main Connect since LiftOff died and Jerboa has been breaking more and more.
I use Voyager (and boost, and sync before that). I like Voyager (now that I’m used to it), but I wish the medium sized thumbnails in compact mode were slightly larger.
I think there’s a way to make that happen. Sorry I don’t use apps, I just played around with it in the past, but I recall not liking it until someone told me how to make the images larger - buried VERY deep in the customizations somewhere - and then afterwards it became my favorite app (except I don’t actually use apps, but IF I did, it would be Voyager. Or Thunder. And with full sized images that don’t cut parts out.)
