There’s like 40 of them lol. I personally like Voyager, but there are a bunch of really good options.
https://join-lemmy.org/apps is a better list
Absolutely not. It hasn’t been updated in forever and is missing a bunch of good apps. The one above automatically updates based on the releases, it’s sortable, searchable, etc.
I really like boost
I used RIF in the before times, and boost is the closest thing I’ve found to duplicate that experience.
Same, RIF to Boost. It’s been a great transition.
many of them are archived, outdated or simply removed. that list needs a total recheck.
Last commits shows the one that haven’t been updated for a while
I use Voyager for iOS. It’s basically an Apollo clone.
And for Android, check out Sync, it works great.
The developer is a really nice guy and is very communicative with folks, he ran Sync for reddit for years before reddit became enshittified - why we’re all here to begin with.
Arctic is my daily driver.
Boost is great too
Ftw
There is like 40 apps
Voyager for Iiphone is the best I’ve found
Voyager for Android is the best I’ve found
See the website https://join-lemmy.org/apps
.
Sync allows user tagging, but it’s a feature of the Ultra version since those tags are stored on sync’s private server. Ultra got a few other perks such as in-app translation, text extraction (from pictures / screenshots) etc., but it’s rather pricey.
I use sync and yeah it’s paid, but I thought it was worth it
I do as well, just wanted to state all the facts.
That list is pretty outdated. A better resource for new users is https://www.lemmyapps.com/
i use jerbora the only issue no notifications and maybe idk how to setup
Need help from the Internet? Make a statement.
Tell me to didn’t try without saying you didn’t try.
I searched Lemmy in the app store. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why there are a bunch of third-party apps that connect to Lemmy. But it seemed like Voyager was popular, so I went with that.
I would read up on how the fediverse works if you don’t understand why there are so many “third-party” apps.
These 2 things are not related though? Reddit is not part of the fediverse and had plenty of third party apps until they changed the API.
It does answer why there’s no official app, which is the question.
Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.
However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it’s as close to “first party” as you can get.
Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.
Ah, so you were looking for something that was “first party”?
Yes. But I think im starting to understand how this works
Totally fair, and there are actually some official or “first party” apps of parts of the fediverse, like the Mastodon app, which is (or at least was) somewhat subpar when compared to third party offerings, but I believe was put out mainly to give new users a starting point.
Eternity is good.
To name a few others, Liftoff, Thunder, Jerboa, Voyager are worth a look.
You take it wrong, MF’ER!
I’ve been using Jerboa, which does the job well enough.
If you used RIF for reddit it will be very familiar.
Jerboa is the official app. It is minimalistic and just works, but lacks features.
Thunder for me is a good alternative.
They both are Material You if you care.
I like Connect, it’s been pretty good so far.
