Hi all. I’m new here so go easy. What is the best way to enjoy and get the most out of Lemmy if I’m accustomed to the Reddit app interface? I’m trying Voyager but it feels clunky. I’m trying it in my browser too and at phtn dot app.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I’m using iOS

Edit 2: thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll give them a spin!

    For iOS, I use Mlem. It’s open source and updated regularly (the TestFlight version at least). It’s got a really nice interface. Lots of little customization options. Feels a lot like Apollo. My second choice is Arctic. A lot of great options, has push notifications. But isn’t open source (yet!) and feels like it’s slightly less polished than Mlem.

    I’m looking for Android equivalent to these two apps, but I’m not see anything remotely close.

      I found Voyager to be quite similar to Apollo. It’s available for both iOS and Android. Plus it’s open source.

        I’ve tried it! Both on iOS and Android. Maybe it’s cause it’s not native. There’s something about how it feels that isn’t the same as a native app.

          Ah yes, I believed it’s a webapp packaged as app. And it still follows iOS style even on Android. But maybe I am just a simple guy who favours function over form, I always like simple and functional design over polish.

            Yeah. Apps make the experience of mobile that much better. Voyager is a very good web app. Its just missing the snappiness of a native app.

            Raccoon for Lemmy is the closest I can find to what I want.

            Curious if anyone has any other suggestions for native and open source in Android.
