Best Lemmy App in 2024

Voyager works great for me.

I am fully on the Sync train. It does get a lot of hate here because it's not FOSS, but it was the best app around for Reddit, and the dev converted it for Lemmy. It's so far above and beyond everything else that I'm happy to pay for it. There's a free version with ads, and there's the expensive paid upgrade ($20). The dev regularly disappears for months, but when he surfaces, he'll roll out a massive amount of bug fixes and features.

Android user.

I used Liftoff until it broke with the API change a couple months back. The Dev has been AFK looking after twin kids. Hope they are going well.

Tried Thunder for a while but it kept crashing or forgetting what post I was looking at when switching between apps.

Using Voyager now and I am quite happy with it. I miss the All servers you have accounts with feed view from Liftoff but that is not a biggie.

I use Thunder. It looks nice, runs well, is actively developed, and the devs are very communicative and open to feedback.

Shout-out for boost

I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.

Jerboa
Using it since it's the app from a lemmy dev.
It's decent for my use.
Tho, some option simulating the multireddit option would be good. But it might be becoming a feature request for lemmy than a lemmy app there.

I love the Connect app(Play store link). It's incredibly feature-rich for being so early in the game.

Sync. Customizable, pretty, working without issues, dev keeps on updating. Really good app..

Boost is also great.

I tried most of them and am happy with Sync.

Can't comment on Apple devices.

I used Boost after Lightning died, it works great and i have no desire to look for another one. I used boost on reddit too

Used to use Eternity, but switched to Voyager. I like Thunder, but Voyager is better at pulling in pictures posted outside of Lemmy.

Early on I tried out other apps and they looked snappier and had many features but none I used.

Jerboa though has always worked and by default everything works exactly as I want and expect. So for me it can't be beaten.

Sync, all the way. I strictly used Sync for reddit after the first real enshittification (to me) of reddit a couple years back, and once the app was reworked for Lemmy I switched and haven't looked back.

Like others have said, it looks great, almost fully customizable UI, works really well, and saves your place when you're scrolling through comments on posts if you back out.

Sync, used it for who knows how long for Reddit, and none of the other options I tried before it was released for Lemmy came anywhere close to feeling as nice to use.

I personally use Thunder. It looks great.

I've been loyal to Sync. Few quirks that need to be resolved like support for Lemmy spoilers, but other than that it's been fantastic.

I used boost for Reddit and use Boost for lemmy since day one (of the app) I love it.

I use jerboa and so far my only gripes are being unable to unblock communities or users unless you go to the desktop page and the upvote system being a percentage instead of just an up and down counter.

I originally used boost as that's what I used for reddit but boost is crammed full of ads unless you buy the premium version.

Boost and Jerboa, the latter via F-Droid.

I used Memmy up until development stopped and now use Voyager. It feels the most like Apollo did so it's got my vote for best app

My use case is incredibly simple, but I really like Jerboa.

Jerboa devs take note

Jerboa allows me to moderate the giant Lemmy communities, and has been quite reliable, so it is what I am sticking to. The lack of autosave drafts upon going back or every 20-30 seconds is a major issue I certainly do not like.

Minor bugs like the comment nav strip collapsing some comments instead of navigating is annoying.

Also, since phones are big nowadays, I would seriously like if there is an option for a translucent up/down comment navigation squares on the left or right side middle portion of screen, offset by probably 50 pixels. Many people will appreciate this and other apps might copy it too and improve things for everyone.

Also, tap to load images might be a handy feature for some people and those moments when data speeds are atrocious.

Also separate the vote count as numbers again.

Jerboa and Raccoon for Lemmy

I’m using Mlem, and it’s worked good so far

Eternity

I find Boost for lemmy to work really well for me. I also use Voyager as a backup.

I use Jerboa. It's fine. It's the only one I've tried though.

I use boost and voyager

I realllyyyy like Jerboa, but the only thing i have to compare it to is the web interface. I've never tried the other apps.

In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn't returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.

So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it's been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.

Summit is the best option I've found, to replace RIF that I used to use back when I was using reddit.

Thunder. It feels most similar to what I used back when I was still using Reddit.

Used Boost for reddit, now use Boost for Lemmy

Sync is king

I'm on Boost after trying a lot of them. On my backup phone there's Raccoon

iOS: Mlem

Saw Boost mentioned already, but also I think Tesseract deserves a shoutout for clean and modern web experience.

I've been using Jerboa, but tempted to swap to Voyager.

Still using Sync and Voyager. Voyager so similar to Apollo and Sync also solid as their Reddit client.

I've been using Eternity for probably nine of these months

I haven't really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I'm perfectly happy with it.

I just use the default website in Firefox for Android.

Currently enjoying Arctic and Voyager. Arctic has potential to be my final app of choice.

Love Thunder. It looks great and works great.

I've also been using Alexandrite on desktop since my server admins have it set up and prefer it over the default ui

Eternity was my favourite and I still use it sometimes, but now I'm mostly using boost.

Summit is the best app I've tried, with Boost a close second. It's got tons of features and is updated frequently.

Boost!

There is no equivalent.

Thunder ❤️

I used to use that other site with Infinity, which was Infinity for Lemmy first, but over time, became Eternity, so that's what I've been using.

I've had the best experience with Summit. Went through quite a few before stopping here.

Like others I used Liftoff but had to move on when API broke it & dev is getting on with real life stuff.

Moved to Voyager. It's good but as an android I still find it a bit strange using what looks like iOS interface. I still get a bit lost when uploading a post & usually have to edit it a few times. No biggie, maybe I should post more & get used it it 😃

I still miss the Joey app from the other place.

I hop around periodically through iOS options, I’m using 2 main ones right now: Arctic and Avelon

I think Arctic is the best

The website 😎

Been using Lemmynade (!lemmynade@lemm.ee) and am super happy with it. My instance also has a really nice looking frontend that works as a PWA as well.

None of the *bin apps I've tried seem to really function well just yet, so I mostly just use the default PWA for the Mbin instance I'm on. It works well enough. Though I'd really love a standalone app, especially if it could handle loading URLs to other instances clicked from outside the app; being taken to a community I'm already subscribed to but not being able to vote or comment because the link I clicked went to the original instance instead of the one I'm logged into is annoying.

Boost is excellent. Very cheap to remove ads and it's just fast and minimal AF. The developer does a lot to maintain it also, it's not abandoned like some others

I used Jerboa and then Eternity, now I use Voyager which I think is very good and stable. I've never tried Thunder.

I tried a lot of them when the reddit exodus was new I settled on voyager and alexandrite. Voyager has a great app (which is just the web page converted to an app) alexandrite doesn't have an app but it's has the best experience for me.
