To me it seems like the landscape for Lemmy apps are sort of stagnant. I'm using Voyager and Mlem but I'm not sure if Voyager will get an iOS 26 makeover due to it's cross platform nature.

So what are you using?

Voyager, it made it much easier to switch to lemmy after years of using Apollo for Reddit

    Voyager all the way. It’s simple and fast to use. Never had any issues.

    I'm using Mlem since its testflight.

    For now, I'm quite satisfied with the app store version

    Another on Mlem. I actually like it better than Voyager and I was an Apollo lover

    I tried mlem after this comment and actually liked it a bit more than voyager. I wish Compact comment view could be customized though, I want to view upvotes instead of replies

    Yep, when Voyager had an issue with the iOS 26 Beta (blank pages), I've tried Mlem and it worked just fine. And you can configure it that it basically looks like Voyager - just a tad more modern.

    Mlem is the best so far for me

    Voyager has been 100% solid for me.

    Same. It’s like a knockoff Apollo

    I think it's based on Apollo source?

    What's cool is it's also on Android (I have one of each). Apollo was never on Android. And it's neat, being on Android and you open Voyager and you're using an iOS-looking app in Android. It's not the first. I also have Apple Music on both of them, and yeah, that's iOS design language through and through. Some Google apps are Android-themed on iOS, and that's fine... for the people who use them. I really don't, except Gmail.

    Mlem on iOS and Thunder on Android.

    The website through the web browser. Works well. :)

    I almost never use web apps on my phone.

    Why not? Web apps usually require less permissions than actual apps.

    Voyager not getting an iOS 26 makeover is more reason to keep using it

    Arctic, but the TestFlight expires in 13 days, and the AppStore version was last updated 7 months ago. I'm not complaining, as it is free. However, it's the only app I've tried that has the swipe back option that Apollo had, and I find that really useful. If you want to return to the last post you viewed, from the feed screen you simply swipe from right to left.

    Do any other apps have this feature now?

    Does Voyager cost for basic?

    Swipe back feature works pretty much like Apollo did.

    Image treatment is a little weird sometimes.

    Works fine on iPad as well as iPhone.

    Thanks for the reply. I've tried it before and I tried it again just now and for the life of me I could not find a way to swipe to return to the previous post from the main feed. If there is a setting I am missing I'd love to be proven wrong.

    Voyager can do this but I’ve never gotten it to work intentionally. I see it happen probably once a day when trying to swipe to upvote a post but I can’t seem to recreate it intentionally.

    Edit: I figured it out! You have to swipe from past the edge of the screen. It is hard to do with a case on.

    Thanks. I tried with a without a case just now with not the TestFlight and the web app and still couldn't get it to work! I also have a glass screen protector I wonder if that is messing with it? Anyway, the way Arctic has it implement it works every time.

    Was on Memmy for Lemmy. Now Arctic.

    I alternate between Voyager and Mlem. Both of them are great, although I feel that voyager is snappier.

    Connect for lemmy, gets updates from time to time. The developer is active around here and does a great job.

    It's very similar to Rif

    Jerboa, its a pretty simple Frontend

  • source
  • Arctic on iPad because it has a nice split screen layout. Voyager on phone because more features and more polished.

    I have 2 of them. Voyager and Thunder. Thunder I use pretty much as you’d expect to use a Lemmy app. But on voyager I can easily block posts containing specific words, so I have a politics block list. The one I use when I just want Lemmy. The other I use for Lemmy minus the politics overwhelm.

    I use Memmy but haven’t tried others. Should I switch to Mlem?

    Memmy Is dead, i am surprised it still opens for you.

    Oh that sucks! I just remember the guy who was coding it or whatever was trying so hard and he did so many fixes when I first got it FOR FREE and it was so endearing. But I guess I can switch over to a better one if he doesn’t care about it anymore. If he does, then I will die using Memmy.

    Using Blorp! I’m also the creator lol. But the goal is one unified Lemmy experience for every platform, while simultaneously delivering a beautifully scaled interface to every screen size.

    Here’s the iOS App

  • source
  • I'm using Voyager. I don't really care if it doesn't get the Liquid Ass interface. When I was still on Reddit, I was testing an app (Lander) that used it. It looked so bad on iOS 18, but on the 26 beta, it looked a little better. Very crash happy though.

    (I like Liquid Glass, but I'm not gonna use that name. I say "Liquid Ass" with nothing but love. It looks great to me!)

    Anyway, I like how it looks. Like how Apollo used to.

    Anyone who uses something different, why? What's it got over Voyager? Android and iOS answers valid — I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and a Galaxy S10. The -E version with only two cameras and the side mounted fingerprint reader/track pad. Currently rocking Voyager on both. But always open to change!
