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 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
Ok, thanks
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.

spoilers still don’t work
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
I use eternity… It’s a perfectly ok Lemmy app 👍

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 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.
Jeroba is nice
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
Thanks!
I use Eternity.
Same. Does what I want.
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
I personally like Arctic.
I use jerboa
