I started off using voyager, swapped to mlem because of slight differences I preferred. Recently found out Thunder for Lemmy is available on the apple appstore and it instantly became my favorite. I like how unique the ui is compared to other, it seems better suited for browsing and posting on Lemmy, while the others feel better for the initial transition from Reddit. Very suprised it has barely any downloads or reviews when its easily the best Lemmy app on IOS.

Thunder reminds me of the more “modern” alternative front ends for lemmy some sites have while mlem and vyager feel more like the alternative reddit apps (blue alien) and give a similar experience.

    Sync on Android. I’ll go down with the ship, I guess. If ljdawson never comes back I’ll be forced to look into other options eventually, but for now it still works, despite some bugs. It just looks and feels the best to me, and I’ve yet to find another app that can exactly replicate how I have it set up.

      I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I’m on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.

      Excellent, just the example I needed to prevent me from examining my own use of Sync. I picked it up straight off of RiF and it’s been mostly fine. Spoilers rarely work and sometimes it just straight up can’t “fetch the image,” but I can do the things I care about, like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks. 10 out of 10 for me.

        I’m in the same boat. The ads have become terrible for me so I’m in the market for a new app anyway. I was hesitant to purchase a subscription because of the low number of releases.

        Glad I didn’t

        […] like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks.

        Thunder can be used for that too, you blithering imbecile.

        (Sync alumnus, only on Thunder because I moved to iOS. Sync is still the best 😢)
