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’ve used the web interface, Voyager, Mlem, Memmy, Thunder, and Avalon.

    But Arctic is the slickest and closest to Apollo I’ve found.

    I was using Voyager, but it lacks notifications. So, now I’m using Arctic. It’s not perfect but it has notifications.

    Can someone who uses Lemmy apps explain why? I seriously don’t understand why so many people prefer app over just browser.

      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

      Adding to this comment:

      1. filter by platform
      2. source: open (because why would you use a closed source app for an open network?)
      3. type: free (but consider donating to your app of choice)
      4. leave feature filters as they are
      5. order the table by last release (prefer actively maintained apps so new lemmy features get implemented fast)

    There are probably better apps but jerboa does it for me.

    edit: not to say jerboa is bad

    I’ve experimented with numerous apps for Lemmy, but Boost for Lemmy has become my go-to choice. It truly has everything I need and is incredibly user-friendly—it’s the full package. While I’ve noticed it hasn’t received updates in a while, there’s no reason to fix what isn’t broken. I’ve also tried Voyager, Sync, Thunder, Eternity, and Connect, but none of them have convinced me to switch from Boost.

    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.
