I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i’m new to Lemmy and looking for a good client to use it with. I’ve been using Sync which is what i used to use with Reddit but i’ve noticed that it isn’t getting updates now. Any other good mobile apps I can usr Lemmy with?

Still using Memmy even though it‘s a broken pile of rust now. The UI is still the best for me.
I’ve tried Jerboa, then Sync, then Summit, and now I’m using Thunder. There were always small things that annoyed me enough to start looking for a new client after a few months, but I’ve had this for… a year or so now? It’s very customizable, so that’s nice.
Eternity hasn’t been updated in a while, but it still works great.
I guess I’m the only one here actively using Boost. I like it. Been using it since long before it was a Lemmy client, haha!
I use boost. I find sometimes videos don’t show but other than that it’s been good.
I use Jerboa, is fine. Haven’t tried anything else so don’t know what I might be missing.
Thunder is cross-platform, and IMO has one of the best looking UIs.
Eternity is great
Used to be my main and fav client (after Jerboa), but it hasn’t been updated in a year and Summit is just plain better and almost as customisable
Connect is great, extensive filtering available. I use it as my main and jerboa as backup.
Voyager hands down
How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes in it? It doesn‘t do it on iOS on default which is weird.
You mean the app that inserts ads to itself into links you share, by default? Yes it can be switched off but why does this need to be there in the first place?
There’s a problem that it seems to use a lot of memory, because it’s a web browser in disguise. As a consequence, any time another app needs memory, Voyager is killed by Android and starts again from the main page, forgetting what I was doing. Oftentimes it’s enough to switch to the actual browser and back again for Voyager to restart, which is ironic for a link-aggregator app.
Its animations are janky for the same reason, and get in the way of some functionality like collapsing comments.
Voyager’s UI is great, mainly because it’s not flashy, but a native app with that UI would be a lot better. RedReader for Reddit is much smoother to use.
I’m quite happy with Voyager, never used anything else.
Maybe you should use something else in order to see the larger picture. It‘s hard to know what you really want when you don‘t compare.
Took a look and love it, mostly because it looks like an iOS app but on Android. I’ve really missed iOS app design and this is just refreshing lol.
For me it reminds more of some rather spartan apps that are economic with their interface — namely RedReader for Reddit. No fluff in the UI. Which is why I like both these apps, however Voyager would be better if it was implemented natively instead of in React or whatever it uses.
At least in iOS, it reminds me a lot of what used to be the Apollo app for Reddit. Voyager is fantastic and currently includes working, but limited Piefed compatibility.
Voyager is a direct copy of Apollo. Which is good because Apollo was awesome on iOS before Reddit forced it and many other apps to cease development. Assholes
Thunder. The only one which is FLOSS, on F-Droid, updated, and actually good.
Im using Summit. Its really nice and the developer is active and listens to the community!

I replaced Sync which is what I used for Reddit, for Summit. No issues at all and actively developed, unlike Sync. It’s clearly taken a lot of inspiration from Sync’s feature set and I am very happy with it.
That’s the client I use alongside Mlem.
Seconding Summit, it’s a good one
Third for Summit
Fourth for Summit.
Say what you like, Summit Squad are nothing if not dedicated.
Summit is peak!
Mlem - replaced Voyager for me.
Same thing I asked about Voyager: How do I enable seeing downvotes weighted against upvotes? It‘s a dealbreaker if I can‘t.
I’m trying this app out now based on your comment, and so far it seems really nice. I may replace Voyager with it as well.
I’m on android and the app seems to be iOS only sadly, but thanks anyway. Will remember this one if I ever switch to iOS.
Boost!
The best by far. He had a great app for that other shit site.
Try it, you’ll like it. Guarantee.
Tried boost for reddit but I didn’t like the ui and it seems like they’ve still got the same ui on the Lemmy version
As in the other comment… You can change all types of UI settings.
Layout, fonts, title font colors, comment font colors, etc.
Honestly, so much available, it’s actually a little overwhelming for me.
The current Lemmy version is very customizable. I think it has seven basic types of views, which are further customizable how you like. You can kinda make it look like whatever you want.
Indeed. Actually more choices than I can even deal with… yet, great!
I’ve been pretty happy with Blorp. They have mobile and web clients available
+1 for Blorp, moved there from Voyager after seeing active development.
Blorp dev here. Thanks for the support! Not only is the app actively maintained, but I do my best to lurk in the comments and help people with any issues.
Is it possible to show downvotes? I wonder why so few apps have it.
Oh, I forgot to mention the desktop app!!
You are doing a great job, thx!
