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 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

    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.

      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)

    Just because I haven’t seen it here: I use Mlem and like it. I haven’t tried any other apps but from the comments here it seems no one else has tried Mlem so I’m not sure how it compares. I do enjoy the filtering of keywords. It’s indispensable these days.

      IMO it looks better and easier navigation than trying to use the web interface on my phone. But also keyword filters.

    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 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.
