Brand new to the platform. Just wondering if I have to use my browser each time. Thanks. Ps. F reddit mods
There’s like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.
I’ve tried a few, voyager fits what I need.
I really like boost
I used RIF in the before times, and boost is the closest thing I’ve found to duplicate that experience.
https://join-lemmy.org/apps is a better list
Absolutely not. It hasn’t been updated in forever and is missing a bunch of good apps. The one above automatically updates based on the releases, it’s sortable, searchable, etc.

Connect gang rise
See the website https://join-lemmy.org/apps
.
Sync allows user tagging, but it’s a feature of the Ultra version since those tags are stored on sync’s private server. Ultra got a few other perks such as in-app translation, text extraction (from pictures / screenshots) etc., but it’s rather pricey.
That list is pretty outdated. A better resource for new users is https://www.lemmyapps.com/
There is like 40 apps
I use voyager which I know is available on iOS. There’s a lot of android options as well.
I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.
It’s not perfect, but it’s the least sucky Lemmy experience I’ve had so far.
Voyager
Voyager is good in some ways but I think Mlem is better in a bunch more ways. I really dislike that in voyager when you are typing a comment you can’t pull down to see the thread or anything at all as it tries to delete your comment. Why in the world would I want to delete my comment by pulling down like that? So many apps do that, like YouTube.
I find mlem better in all ways except is has all sorts of annoying haptic actions and weird alerts, but they seem to be attenuating with each update
I use voyager on android and I’m happy with it so far.
I recommend trying a few of them out to see which one(s) you like:
- Connect
- Boost
- Jerboa
- Sync
I liked Jerboa, but after a lemmy upgrade, Jerboa took too long to support the new protocol, so I switched to Voyager. I would probably be using Jerboa again noe if there was a simple way of exporting my blocks et al. back to Jerboa.
I still use Jerboa. I’m a fan.
Unless an app is doing something weird, your blocks should be tied to the account and not the app.
Thunder has been great so far
I like the link previews. Not getting rickrolled again.
We’re no strangers to love…
It loves to freeze up randomly while scrolling and take fucking forever to become responsive again (usually I just kill it), but ignoring that, it’s a pretty solid app.
No way to reply to direct messages, though. Gotta pull up the instance site. So other than that…
I’ve been using Jerboa, which does the job well enough.
If you used RIF for reddit it will be very familiar.
I use Voyager for iOS. It’s basically an Apollo clone.
Boost is great too
Ftw
I like Connect, it’s been pretty good so far.
I had to switch to Jerboa because Connect kept glitching out on a bunch of posts where it would load the image for a second, then just give a blank screen. So you’d need to either keep clicking out and reloading to hope it worked, or load externally in a browser.
I think that might be fixed now - there were some image related fixes in a recent version.
I’m using Jerboa
Many of the third party Reddit apps switched to Lemmy when the API got locked down. I’m using Sync for Lemmy, but there’s plenty others.
i use jerbora the only issue no notifications and maybe idk how to setup

I’ve only ever used sync since the sync Reddit stopped working (fuck those [Reddit] people). Haven’t been back since. Also with ad block and a VPN, I don’t get any ads on the free version.
