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 like Voyager for Lemmy, reminds of Apollo for Reddit.
Apollo…
Sideload Apollo, you can still use it
I like Voyager but it’s optimised for phones.
I still use it on desktop. Definitely not ideal, but it works for me. I can’t even remember why at this point. Some feature that isn’t in the native interface. Before user tagging. Probably something to do with blocking or filtering.
I don’t see a reason to use Lemmy app on desktop though. Feels more natural to access Lemmy and Reddit through browser if I am on desktop.
Keyword blocking keeps me on voyager on desktop. Unless I’m making a new post (which I don’t like the voyager interface for) and then it’s back to the web UI
Sync is what I like. Used it for reddit, then the dev ported it over to lemmy.
I use Eternity.
Same. Does what I want.
I personally like Arctic.
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.
There are probably better apps but jerboa does it for me.
edit: not to say jerboa is bad
I like Jerboa because of how similar it is to RIF Is Fun
Just because I haven’t seen it here: I use Mlem and like it. I haven’t tried any other apps but from the comments here it seems no one else has tried Mlem so I’m not sure how it compares. I do enjoy the filtering of keywords. It’s indispensable these days.
I tried a lot of apps a while ago and liked summit (!summit@lemmy.world) the best after tinkering with the settings.

You can filter the search by various settings to have just a few selected results. I personally use Voyager on phone and computer.
Adding to this comment:
- filter by platform
- source: open (because why would you use a closed source app for an open network?)
- type: free (but consider donating to your app of choice)
- leave feature filters as they are
- order the table by last release (prefer actively maintained apps so new lemmy features get implemented fast)
I use eternity… It’s a perfectly ok Lemmy app 👍
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
Jeroba is nice
I love Boost, no idea if it’s ios
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.
