I am very new to Lemmy, and I am using the Eternity app. But I am wondering which one you guys are using, and maybe there are better one’s than Eternity without me knowing
Voyager with the Android theme enabled, it looks quite nice and feels more polished than other clients
Voyager.
Me too. Voyager is a fine name but there was something dumb/charming about the name Wefwef.
Eternity is a solid one, was my main for quite some time until I used Voyager while waiting for Eternity to to update to work with the latest Lemmy at the time, and ended up sticking with Voyager.
I do miss the user avatars though, voyager doesn’t have those.
Had to scroll to the bottom for this Gem!! Eternity is rock solid.
I’m using Sync to write this comment :)
I switched from sync a while ago because it wasn’t updated anymore.
The dev has in the past taken steps away, but comes back when needed. And despite not being updated in a hot sec it’s still still the best mobile app IMHO.
Yes, I used it for a long time on Reddit. But lemmy did have some new developments that are not supported by sync and I got tired of waiting for the dev to fix it
Boost
I have tried almost all clients on Android.
Best In my opinion:
- Thunder
- Jerboa
- Raccoon for Lemmy
- Voyager
To me thunder has the best UI and UX overall, even though I prefers the “card view” feed from Raccoon and some functions of Jerboa.
Do you use thunder on iPad? How do you exit from a video link, eg youtube? There is no back or X or gesture.
I would suppose with the same gestures as the image ones but since you mention is not that then I would assume it could work with native iOS gestures? I’m sorry, do not own any Apple devices. I suggest asking on Thunder’s community or making an issue on Github.
Yep, tried everything and Thunder is the best for me.
I’ve moved from Boost to Thunder. It’s a great experience so far.
Did you rank these in a particular order, or is it just four that you like?
I used Jerboa when I first transitioned from Reddit, but eventually someone recommended Voyager because it is similar to the RiF app I used to use. I like the interface of Voyager more than Jerboa, and I’ve been using it for a while, but I’m still open to checking out other apps.
Did you rank these in a particular order, or is it just four that you like?
In preferred order.
Jerboa has everything you might need related to Lemmy functions, as it is the native app developed by the same Lemmy authors. But I feel the interface is not as good as Thunder’s. And as for Voyager, I dislike the interface because is reminiscent of old iPhone interfaces (even though you can change it something similar to Android). And as far as I remember Thunder’s post’s comments view is better for me. In my opinion Thunder has the better combination of Function, UI and UX.
I like and use Thunder. It’s cross platform on iOS and Android so I get the same consistent interface from my iPad and my android phone.
I am using boost for lemmy for some time now and am very happy with that app. I’ve tried jerboa, summit and thunder before but they felt somewhat incomplete at the time I used them.
Boost and got the paid version. It’s clean and responsive.
There’s a paid version?
That’s what I use, too. I think most of what makes Boost so great is that the developer initially made it for Reddit, so they put a lot of work into the user experience and it runs great. Plus since I primarily used it for Reddit, it feels very familiar to use it for Lemmy.
Mlem
Mlem on iPhone - I like it best
Does the simple webversion count? I am using the qwant browser on android.
Haven’t seen anyone mention connect

Closest to reddit is fun. When RiF got blocked was when I made the switch.
I used Thunder for a long time, but I have been giving Arctic a try lately and like it. I will likely give Mlem another shot after the next update. Voyager is another great one, but I have not used it for a while.
Overall, there are a lot of great Lemmy apps and I love that most of them did not get abandoned after the initial wave from the Reddit exodus died down. I think we have more high-quality Lemmy apps than there were for Reddit.
Jerboa hits that same sweet spot that RIF did.
