On iOS Iβm very happy with Memmy, I was on Apollo before and it feels similar design-wise.

Iβm on vger.app, which also feels a lot like Apollo. But Memmy is great too!

Lemmur is the best currently.
I've been working on a native android client called Jerboa recently, but I'm maybe 2 weeks or so away from a beta.
Damn, you're working on a lot of things.
Well if you think its unstable i guess its better to wait. But if its usable i can try it
YMMV. I've downloaded it but I can't login. I click add for the account and it just hangs. Probably depends on your phone's OS build.

I'm not sure what else exists, but I think your options are listed here.
Are you able to specify what didn't go well when you tried Lemmur
In my case, Flutter apps just don't do it at all. I don't know if it is my phone or a bug in the toolkit, but apps made with it are just too sluggish for me. I just use Lemmy's PWA capabilities on my phone.
My Jerboa client is still alpha level, but if you want, i can give you an apk to help me test it.
ooh thanks!
I didn't really like it tbh was looking for an alternative. And thanks dude for the comment

If you're on Android, I recommend Liftoff. Boost for Lemmy is also probably going to be pretty good when it releases, as the developer's Reddit app was phenomenal.
I just installed LiftOff as I was using the web PWA on my phone and it's a much nicer experience.
I'm waiting for the Sync app though, Reddit Sync was perfect for me!
My favorite right now is Mlem, itβs similar to Memmy but works better in my experience
Posted this from Mlem.
Iβm a former Apollo user and the inspiration is obvious in Mlem
Mlem is my favorite too but they have a long way to go to catch up to Memmy for most of the functionality. It feels very solid compared to Memmy, though.
Try Connect for lemmy if you're on android
The F-droid version of Lemmur is currently outdated and does not log in. Otherwise it is fine I think.
It's at 0.8.0 now on F-droid.

Was using Jerboa, I like Liftoff better. But I'll be moving to Lemmy Sync as soon as that's available.
I'm pretty happy with Jerboa on Android, although as a long time Boost fan I'm excited see their app for lemmy release
Connect is stunningly well polished for how little time it's been in development and the dev pushes updates incredibly fast. I'm probably going to switch to sync whenever it gets released bc it was my reddit client of choice but connect is doing quite well in the interim
Yeah why did this get promoted suddenly?
seems there is a bug
If you're on iOS, Mlem for Lemmy is afaik the only one written in Apple's native SwiftUI. Its IMO the one that integrates most smoothly with the feel of the platform and has the most potential, since it's written natively instead of in a cross-platform framework.

Someone seriously needs to build a GTK/Libadwaita client
If there were 3 of me, one of them would be building a desktop client using iced, the rust GUI toolkit.
Thanks for being one of you and doing what you do! I appreciate it :)

Try vger.app as a web app
This may dumb, but could someone just repurpose an existing reddit client? There's a few open source ones.
Compared to the visual part we see, the federated stuff in the background is likely 80% of the work in the app, reddit doesn't use activity pub so 80-90% needs to be different anyway and so it is probably nicer just to write all fresh code.
I'm basically reverse engineering my favorite reddit client to build the one I'm working on. I posted an apk below if you want to test an early alpha.
liftoff... wait, this post is two years old, nvm.
liftoff works best for me
On iOS Bean is in beta and working pretty well. Thereβs also Voyager that is a web app but you would never know it. Essentially a clone of Apollo.
