As per title, what app are you currently using? Why do you think it’s the best one? I’ve seen a lot of app being developed (just to mention a few: Mlem, Memmy and Thunder) and I can’t decide what to use
Just want to add my two cents here - https://wefwef.app is absolutely fantastic on both Android and iPhone and it’s a PWA. It’s better than any other client I have used (I have used most if not all available rn)
Wow, this looks just like Apollo!
Not really good on Android, the ui doesn’t match.
Author here, check back soon! I’m prioritizing core functionality and bugfixes for the next few days/week, but wefwef uses Ionic so once things settle down a bit it’s not that hard to get Android styles supported.
Post loading when add to Home Screen gets a black screen
This doesn’t happen for me, maybe try making it again?
Same thing sadly
Even turned off Hyperweb and content blocking
Hey, wefwef author here, sorry about that issue. I haven’t seen that. If you can provide a reproduction I’d be more than happy to look into it. https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef
I added it again and did the same thing. How can I provide my info?
Oh, just device info. I assume Android? What version? And then what name and version of the browser you’re using?
Should be able to find that in settings.
Oh no my bad I’m on IOS 15 iPhone 15.1.1
There are a bunch of options each with their pros and cons, here’s what I’ve found so far:
Mlem
- Feels very Apollo like with things like slide to upvote and reply
- Doesn’t seem to be able to handle inline images and media (so you sometimes miss post information)
- Switching to new communities is not intuitive (you have to click the community name and type with the “Subscribed” toggle pane open)
- No guides on how Markdown works
- No message inbox
Memmy
- Has an inbox (not something I’ve seen from the others)
- Has Apollo like slide interactions
- Easy to find and switch communities
- Text is a little too small
- Found a couple of visual bugs (obviously this is all very beta!)
Liftoff
- Seems to show all the post information you could want (community it was posted too, which community that user is part of, etc)
- Feels a little bit like the official reddit app
- No Apollo like slide interactions
- Some interesting choices when trying to find communities (showing the full sidebar)
- Colours are a little constrasty
- A couple of UI bugs
- I don’t love the rounded corners on everything out of the box
Thunder
- Pretty polished
- Slide interactions are great
- Nice Markdown editor
- Not found any graphical bugs
- Some UI elements (subbing / unsubbing from a community) aren’t always clear
- Written in flutter so may not give a true “native” experience
Personally I think I’m gonna stick with Thunder for a bit, but I’m swapping daily at this point.
Given that any development on these really only kicked into gear in the last few weeks everything these devs are doing is incredible, they’ve all come a long way in such a short time!
I can’t find a single one of those in the app store, all they all in beta or some developer mode?
Currently using Mlem and Memmy, but been finding myself using Memmy more often. I prefer the brown theme over the completely black/dark theme. Still some quirks to fix but the UI reminds me of Apollo so far.
Excited to try out Artemis since I also have a kbin.social account.
I like Mlem because it’s a native iOS app developed in Swift and SwiftUI for everyone to be performant, beautiful, and accessible!
But I’m on the Mlem Team, so maybe I’m a bit biased :P
Follow updates here: Mlem App for Lemmy
Is it only for IOS?
Edit: nevermind im am idiot who can’t read
Mlem is definitely one of the best I’ve tried! Great work guys!

Wefwef (https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef) is worth a look. It’s a PWA that is very similar to Apollo in looks. Pretty amazing what’s been done in a PWA

I’m using Memmy more than Mlem as I like the look and gestures better plus the “me” and “OP” tags are an improvement over Apollo’s (which is saying something). I’ve been contributing to the github on missing features. Also added the wefwef PWA as it’s messaging is good (Memmy’s isn’t complete yet). Although, Liftoff’s is feature complete from what I can tell.
The speed at which Lemmy clients have been developed is insane. Very impressed with the communities at work.
I’ve tried a few on the Android side and Thunder is best so far so that’s the one I would give a go first if I were you!
Have you also tried liftoff?
Liftoff is really good http://lemmy.world/c/liftoff
I really like the look of Liftoff but I can’t seem to interact as well with other instances it keeps saying I need accounts on other instances which seems to defeat the point of federation. Anyone else had this issue?
Hopefully it gets ironed out.
Same for me, even searching only allows you to chose from a dropdown with your instances only. So no good for me but a shame because it’s a very good one !
Have they released a IPA yet? I don’t have access to a computer right now so can’t build one
It’s on TestFlight if that works for you.

I use Memmy and I love it, although it is still in Beta release and may not be able to join the beta. The dev is super good at improving it and fixing bugs
Memmy for me too. Their philosophy is to make it operate like Apollo
I’m currently trying both Mlem and Memmy, they are both great! I feel like Memmy have more features but the interface of Mlem feels more like Apollo (♥️).
Same boat. I think I’ll prefer Mlem in the long run but the Memmy dev is just cranking out updates like nobody’s business so it’s a lot more functional right now.
Afaik the mlem dev is stopping development
