Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what’s the latest state of the above question?
What app do you use and why? I’m mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what’s your primary one?
Voyager works great for me.

Used Boost for reddit, now use Boost for Lemmy
iOS: Mlem
I used Boost after Lightning died, it works great and i have no desire to look for another one. I used boost on reddit too
Boost and Jerboa, the latter via F-Droid.
The website 😎
Saw Boost mentioned already, but also I think Tesseract deserves a shoutout for clean and modern web experience.
Jerboa and Raccoon for Lemmy
I’m using Mlem, and it’s worked good so far
Eternity was my favourite and I still use it sometimes, but now I’m mostly using boost.
I’ve been using Jerboa, but tempted to swap to Voyager.
Sync, all the way. I strictly used Sync for reddit after the first real enshittification (to me) of reddit a couple years back, and once the app was reworked for Lemmy I switched and haven’t looked back.
Like others have said, it looks great, almost fully customizable UI, works really well, and saves your place when you’re scrolling through comments on posts if you back out.
Jerboa allows me to moderate the giant Lemmy communities, and has been quite reliable, so it is what I am sticking to. The lack of autosave drafts upon going back or every 20-30 seconds is a major issue I certainly do not like.
Minor bugs like the comment nav strip collapsing some comments instead of navigating is annoying.
Also, since phones are big nowadays, I would seriously like if there is an option for a translucent up/down comment navigation squares on the left or right side middle portion of screen, offset by probably 50 pixels. Many people will appreciate this and other apps might copy it too and improve things for everyone.
Also, tap to load images might be a handy feature for some people and those moments when data speeds are atrocious.
I just use the default website in Firefox for Android.
There are dozens of us!
Love Thunder. It looks great and works great.
I’ve also been using Alexandrite on desktop since my server admins have it set up and prefer it over the default ui
