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?

Voyager hands down

https://vger.app/

[-] Az_1@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

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.

[-] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

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

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.

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.

[-] Blaze@piefed.zip 11 points 2 months ago

Seconding Summit, it's a good one

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

Third for Summit

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago

Fourth for Summit.

Say what you like, Summit Squad are nothing if not dedicated.

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Summit is peak!

[-] Sunshine@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago

That's the client I use alongside Mlem.

[-] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

Thunder. The only one which is FLOSS, on F-Droid, updated, and actually good.

I’ve been pretty happy with Blorp. They have mobile and web clients available

[-] Hominine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

+1 for Blorp, moved there from Voyager after seeing active development.

[-] moseschrute@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] lorski@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

You are doing a great job, thx!

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Is it possible to show downvotes? I wonder why so few apps have it.

Thanks a ton. I was really struggling with the transition when using a few of the above mentioned apps…before I settled on Blorp.

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Is it possible to move profile button down to the bottom?

Mlem - replaced Voyager for me.

[-] Az_1@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

Boost!

The best by far. He had a great app for that other shit site.

Try it, you'll like it. Guarantee.

[-] Az_1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Steve@communick.news 2 points 2 months ago

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.

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.

May be unpopular, but I haven't found anything that works better than jerboa. It's maintained by the Lemmy devs. It's simple, open source, customizable.
