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.
Voyager on iOS has worked well enough I haven’t gone hunting for anything else. On desktop I like the Alexandrite front end.
Voyager is my go to. But it doesn’t load Redgifs for me. Which isn’t a deal breaker as I do most of my browsing at work, but there are times when no one’s looking so it’d be nice to have.
Give Arctic a try. Just a little bit smoother and some great customisation options.
I’m using Eternity, I haven’t tried more so I can’t compare, but I liked Eternity enough to don’t have the need to try others.
I already used Infinity for Reddit (which Eternity is based on) so it made the migration from Reddit to Lemmy really smooth for me.
I like Eternity but i have two problems with it:
Cannot upload images from the appSo, uh… 🤦♂️
It doesn’t format spoilers properlyComments, yes. In Thunder there’s a button and you just do a press.
BRUH WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
HOW DID I NOT FIGURE THIS OUT
https://www.lemmyapps.com/ has a “rating” column, to be compared with “last release”
Jerboa on mobile. It feels a lot like the reddit client Joey which I liked a lot.
On pc I just use firefox \o
Summit, but it’s good enough that I haven’t tried many others.
I’m quite happy with Jerboa on GrapheneOS, and on desktop I prefer to visit Lemmy via Tesseract.
I just started using phtn.app on desktop, saw it on a lemmy comment recently, supports multiple account login, havent tried tesseract on desktop, was setting up a friendica, but got lazy (like how you see comments along with the post on the feed, but you gotta manually sub to everything)
You had me going there! I thought Tesseract was something to do with OCR.
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?

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.
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 used eternity for a long while, but it is buggy and development is slow (if not dead?). So I switched to the Voyager android app and never looked back.
Jerboa on Android. I don’t really visit Lemmy anywhere else.
Still exploring but why I like Voyager over Mlem is that Voyager can load embeds where Mlem doesn’t seem to have that option. I don’t like to have to tap to see content.
On desktop, either the vanilla PWA for Lemmy, or alexandrite.app. I Really like alexandrite.
On the phone, I flip between Thunder, Summit, Sync, and Connect. Gotta keep a tab on how they develop, and I like them all, for different reasons.
Edit: my current preferred client on mobile is Thunder. Like you say, it feels like a modern way of browsing Lemmy, it’s really good.
