There is like 40 apps
I use voyager which I know is available on iOS. There’s a lot of android options as well.
Voyager gang.
I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.
It’s not perfect, but it’s the least sucky Lemmy experience I’ve had so far.

I use voyager on android and I’m happy with it so far.
I use Voyager on Android with the iOS theme.
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.
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.
That’s because there’s no “first party”. Just protocols and people
Ah, so you were looking for something that was “first party”?
Yes. But I think im starting to understand how this works
I recommend trying a few of them out to see which one(s) you like:
- Connect
- Boost
- Jerboa
- Sync
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.
Voyager for Iiphone is the best I’ve found
Eternity is good.
To name a few others, Liftoff, Thunder, Jerboa, Voyager are worth a look.
I like Connect, it’s been pretty good so far.
I had to switch to Jerboa because Connect kept glitching out on a bunch of posts where it would load the image for a second, then just give a blank screen. So you’d need to either keep clicking out and reloading to hope it worked, or load externally in a browser.
I’ve only ever used sync since the sync Reddit stopped working (fuck those [Reddit] people). Haven’t been back since. Also with ad block and a VPN, I don’t get any ads on the free version.
I refuse to use sync because the dev invalidated the old lifetime license and made me pay again to keep using it a few years before reddit went to shit.
I’m not paying them again for something I can’t trust won’t force me to pay again in the future.
Oh, that’s shit. I didn’t pay before (or now). That really sucks though. I don’t blame you.
Need help from the Internet? Make a statement.
I use the sync app and love it. Got it from the Google play store
Was a reddit sync user, now a lemmy sync user
I’ve tried a number of them and Jerboa has worked the best for me
I’ve been using “connect for lemmy” and i love it! Fully stopped using reddit on mobile because this app is so good!
Voyager has all the features. There are only a couple others that are full featured.
Does voyager have ads? I’m on Eternity and need to switch.
I don’t know. I block ads. Haven’t seen any evidence of them.
Friendly Social Browser is decent but I would recommend an actual app for it
