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.

Thunder. I like being able to customize, and it has just about everything.
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.
Mlem testflight supports it, but its a bit buggy I couldn’t make posts without crashing, havent checked the most recent update tho
I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven’t found a reason to change since.
Jerboa has always been great to me. Android. It uses old reddit style and reminds me of Baconreader
was using Sync, just installed Voyager today, still have to see which I like better.
Boost for Lemmy on Android with a customised Amoled black theme
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.
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 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.
I’m stuck with voyager now that I’ve invested lots of time into their tagging system.
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?

Sync on Android. I’ll go down with the ship, I guess. If ljdawson never comes back I’ll be forced to look into other options eventually, but for now it still works, despite some bugs. It just looks and feels the best to me, and I’ve yet to find another app that can exactly replicate how I have it set up.
I was a Sync user on Reddit. Thunder has reproduced that feel for me here. The one place it didn’t I contributed (2-column tablet mode)
I was in the same boat as you, but I discovered Summit this week. I feel like it fixes a couple of annoyances from Sync.
I use sync occasionally, and I found it has some features literally no other app has (or I’m too dumb to find them) like easy instance switching. It’s right there on the main screen, you just click instances, pick a federated instance, and boom, now you’re seeing stuff from that instance. I wish more apps has that.
Excellent, just the example I needed to prevent me from examining my own use of Sync. I picked it up straight off of RiF and it’s been mostly fine. Spoilers rarely work and sometimes it just straight up can’t “fetch the image,” but I can do the things I care about, like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks. 10 out of 10 for me.
[…] like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks.
Thunder can be used for that too, you blithering imbecile.
(Sync alumnus, only on Thunder because I moved to iOS. Sync is still the best 😢)
Thanks, dumbass! 🤣
I’m in the same boat. The ads have become terrible for me so I’m in the market for a new app anyway. I was hesitant to purchase a subscription because of the low number of releases.
Glad I didn’t

Same boat. I’m really happy with my current look and feel, and I have no reason to change at this time.
I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I’m on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.
https://www.lemmyapps.com/ has a “rating” column, to be compared with “last release”
I use both Sync and Voyager.
Both have things I like and don’t
Firefox.
Browser on pc, voyager on mobile
Voyager. Just very plain and nice.
Sync on Android
Alexandrite on desktop
Apollo was the best Reddit app on iPhone. Voyager continues its legacy
I loved Apollo! I randomly chose Voyager as my first introduction to Lemmy and it’s been great so far
