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 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
Jeroba is nice
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
I was using Voyager, but it lacks notifications. So, now I’m using Arctic. It’s not perfect but it has notifications.
I use Mlem on iOS.
Another vote for Mlem.
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.
I’m also interested.

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
The best useful source: https://www.lemmyapps.com/
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)

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 personally like Arctic.
I use jerboa
