Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.
I second Memmy. I’ve tried the others available currently, including wefwef and Memmy is my favorite. wefwef is second, but an actual native app still feels better imo.
Agreed. I love wef wef but still has some weirdness being a web app. Memmy is my favorite installed app.
I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.
Another Memmy user here - if you’re a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!
for android users theres wefwef/voyager
Memmy is very polished! I’m astonished how well they’ve designed the app. It’s very familiar to anyone who has used apollo but, dare i say it, better!
It’s on the AppStore too now. Go go go!

Memmy feels like Apollo did. I like it.
I’m currently using Memmy and it’s nice to navigate. Unfortunately, it crashes fairly often for me.
Seconded Memmy here. I was originally using mlem and Memmy but I’m afraid Memmy has taken the league in my books. Honestly already at this point, it supersedes Apollo in some ways (like customisation of themes).
I’ve been usign memmy for a few days, its really cool!
Sync for Lemmy (android)
I’ve been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don’t get me wrong they’re both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year’s subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
Same
It’s unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it’s mind blowing the dev pull this off.
It inherits all the lessons learned with Sync for Reddit until it died.
I’m so happy it’s here, made the transition so easy with the effort they made to make the experience so similar to browsing reddit.
Sync and Boost are indeed outstanding, just like they were on Reddit. My two favourites, no doubt about it
I left Reddit when they killed RIF. In Lemmy, I wanted something similar and tried Jerboa and Connect. Those apps didn’t really feel like RIF no matter how much I customized it. Sync really is the definitive replacement for the RIF experience. I gotten my version to look and feel like it exactly.
Sync is the reason I’m here, and the reason why my Reddit account is practically dead. For me, Sync was Reddit, and without it I have no reason to stay.
Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
It’s a web based clone of Apollo
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.
Me too - it has weird quirks that at this stage may be turning potential users away.
To be fair though, it’s something that’s been put together very quickly. I think it’s had 2 updates even just in the last 24hrs, to resolve some of these teething problems (and accidentally introducing more). I’m happy to stick with it and be patient; it’s still in beta and would be unreasonable to expect a fully functional product at this point.
Some frustrations will also be coming from the decentralised nature of Lemmy. I’ve noticed issues with using my lemmy.world account or looking for content on lemmy.world from a different instance, and this isn’t really a fault of wefwef or anyone to be honest (as .world is really struggling with excess load atm). It’s early days, it’s going to be rough, we just need to be patient and mindful.
Yeah that’s a good point, I do see updates are coming fast 🙂 I won’t give up on it.
Any plans to make it an iOS app that you know of?
Memmy is great too!
It’s a PWA which means you can install it on any phone
They are actually planning on submitting to the App Store, but it’s still going to be a pwa
Little update for anyone stumbling across this: it’s now called Voyager (https://vger.app) and is also available as a native app (web wrapper, but still):
- iOS: App Store Link
- Android: Google Play Store
I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Great app!
Same here. I never thought I’d love a webapp so much, but here I am…
Wefwef is now Voyager and has native apps for iOS and android as well as web app (WEP) and yes it’s still the best option imo
+1 for Liftoff
I’m another Liftoff user!
I’ve also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I’m using Liftoff a lot.
I like using liftoff, especially the everything feed since I have multiple lemmy accounts
Does this function shows ‘everything’ of all the accounts you have in one feed?
I like Liftoff and Jerboa. I flip between them depending on my mood.
Is there a way to copy the posted link to an article straight from the feed in Liftoff? When I hit “copy link” it copies the link to the post on lemmy. I do not want this.
for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app’s community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.
Using it right now. Very nice interface, especially comment field
I love the formatting tools
that are placed at the bottom
And enable easy text fancification
By far the best interface on android so far. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy and Boost for Lemmy as well.
I prefer Sync because of the font, the design, and the way the options are arranged.
I agree. So far it’s the best one I’ve used on Android. It has things like settings for font sizes.
UPDATE: I find myself using Liftoff more now. I couldn’t exactly tell you why. The only things it’s missing is an option to make the comment font larger.
Voyager for lemmy is awesome
Where do you get that app from?
google play store
Ah I see. I don’t have access to that store. And connect is not on f-droid store because ot’s closed source. I wonder why using a closed source lemmy app if we have open ones.
not him, but I think closed source doesn’t inherently means bad
It is becoming each day more critical to choose open source over closed source. It’s a matter of security, privacy and concentration of power
Really liking thunder, now that it can view profiles and edit comments.
deleted by creator
How does one view profiles in Thunder?
Currently only opening post author profiles is possible, long tap a post, or tap their name in the post view. Same is coming for comments.
for me liftoff is the least buggy and runs smoother than thunder or jerboa
How to find sublemmy, I mean, community, on liftoff app ?
There is a search on bottom. Search a name then switch to community tab. Or just select it from posts.
Only thing, it cant search more than one instance at once (I think). Otherwise best app imo
I just look through all until I find something I like
Idk, i use Eternity (Infinity Fork).
I love eternity! Although it’s probably because I was so used to infinity beforehand.
I tried jerboa and liftoff as well and they were fine, but eternity just has that familiar feel
A bit biased since I am the creator, but using Lemmios has been pretty sweet!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmiosapp@lemmy.world
Is it on the app or play store (not seeing it on play store or online). Would like to give it a try.
It is current just in TestFlight (so iOS only) and the link is https://testflight.apple.com/join/BF7pq1hn
Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.
Android user here, I’m quite happy with Connect for Lemmy
The official community is at /c/lemmyconnect
+1 on connect. The things it can’t do well, namely searching, I do in wefwef
‘Connect’ seems to be quite good.
So I just got here to Lemmy, and only briefly have checked out some of the apps, but Connect is my favorite so far. It looks good and let’s me hide posts.
Is it just me or is there no mod tools or chat messages in connect?
Why is my text white in a white comment box? I can’t see all my typos until I post.
For me personally, Jerboa is the best Android Lemmy app that I’ve tried, and I have tried several of them. I’ll just be glad when Sync for Lemmy is released.
I have tried Jerboa, and have just tried liftoff. I prefer the UI of Jerboa and it’s in fdroid also!
Tried Sync, Liftoff, Connect and Lemmotif (I think that’s all the free ones on the playstore as of August '23), and I am always preferring Jerboa.
Yeah I like Jerboa. Development has been pretty fast too.
Same, I’ll be on Jerboa until Sync launches. I can’t wait.
I am using Connect for Lemmy. It is straightforward.
deleted by creator
I like connect, considering thunder or infinity though
