Hi all. I’m new here so go easy. What is the best way to enjoy and get the most out of Lemmy if I’m accustomed to the Reddit app interface? I’m trying Voyager but it feels clunky. I’m trying it in my browser too and at phtn dot app.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I’m using iOS
Edit 2: thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll give them a spin!
I tried a lot of apps a while ago and liked summit (!summit@lemmy.world) the best after tinkering with the settings.
I’ve used the web interface, Voyager, Mlem, Memmy, Thunder, and Avalon.
But Arctic is the slickest and closest to Apollo I’ve found.
Much appreciated
I was using Voyager, but it lacks notifications. So, now I’m using Arctic. It’s not perfect but it has notifications.
Another vote for Mlem.
Can someone who uses Lemmy apps explain why? I seriously don’t understand why so many people prefer app over just browser.
IMO it looks better and easier navigation than trying to use the web interface on my phone. But also keyword filters.
I use eternity… It’s a perfectly ok Lemmy app 👍
I like Voyager for Lemmy, reminds of Apollo for Reddit.
Apollo…
Sideload Apollo, you can still use it
I use Boost for Lemmy (paid) as that is what I used to use on Reddit, but I’ve been seeing the odd message recently of people saying it has been abandoned as there have been no updates. It still functions perfectly fine for me.
Dont use Boost, it has built in unnecessary trackers
How do you see this?
Download the app Exodus off of F-Droid. Or on its github
Fellow boost user here. Everything works fine, and I can’t think of any missing features. Can’t imagine what an update would involve honestly.
Jeroba is nice
I use Mlem on iOS.
It’s kind of subjective. I say try them out and see what you like but also remember there’s multiple Lemmy web UIs. I like using Interstellar with Mbin
I use Eternity.
Same. Does what I want.
You should also be sure to check out !lemmyapps@lemmy.world, where you can find discussion and connect with devs.
There is a pinned post at the top that lists all of the active apps. iOS especially has a couple that have not received updates in a while, although they may be still useful.
On a larger screen, you might benefit from using a web app. There are several good ones with very active development.
Sync is what I like. Used it for reddit, then the dev ported it over to lemmy.
I recently switched away from Sync to Voyager. Like you I’d loved sync for both platforms, but it’s been bugging for me for awhile, and didn’t realize it wasn’t being updated so I switched.
I’ve tried a bunch of apps, and Thunder is my favorite. I believe it’s available for both iOS and Android.
I was a big fan of relay for Reddit, and thunder is the closest I’ve found.
I’ll take a look. Thank you
