I was looking for a place to share my two favorite Mastodon and Lemmy clients, they are called Voyager Connect Boost for Lemmy and Moshidon for Mastodon (if you are really serious about privacy I recommend Connect still)
(the official Mastodon app works fine though, you just can’t follow new hashtags from it)
They are very good, try them out sometime 👍 (I’ll update this post whenever my opinion changes)
Liftoff is by far my favorite, though that’s android only I believe
Not anymore, both liftoff and thunder are now on both iOS and Android.
I’ve tried so many, and Liftoff is my favorite too.
liftoff is pretty cool. in fact you can “subscribe” instances is really cool
How do you mean?
i can browse lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc without any change on setting, just click at the @lemmy.ml. and i can add them to easily switch like this
That does look nice
Liftoff is available on iOS too! It’s probably the exact same app, but I find the interface a bit too cluttered for my tastes. But it is packed with features!
The ability to subscribe or interact with other instances without having to switch accounts is unparalleled. It’s what keeps me on Liftoff.
Is that not a thing everywhere? I believe that’s how I’ve been using Voyager on iOS
Thanks for telling me about Voyager, I feel like I finally found the app for me!
Sync for Lemmy. Tried Liftoff before Sync was available, and it just wasn’t comparable to my Reddit experience. Sync just feels so great to use.
Infinity for Lemmy is great
I tried Arctius, it looks good but misses a few features. Maybe I give it another try in the future.
I use Liftoff, it is good but the design is a little bit boring, but Liftoff is very useable as a daily driver and works fine.
I discovered Connect yesterday, it is a good match if you want a good design and features. It has a new post button like Liftoff. I like this. Connect seems to be a good match for me.
Voyager was not my case, did not like it. Tastes are different. Same for Sync
For Mastodon, I use Moshidon. I like it very much
+1 for Connect
The only thing I am missing right now, is the ability to increase the icon size and community name under the post title 🤔
Do I overlook something?
You have any opinion on Moshidon vs Tusky? I found out about Tusky first. Just installed Moshidon so haven’t really had a lot of time to try it out and compare.
Moshidon is better if you want to check if pictures have alttext. Moshidon can show the public timeline of other instances in your feed too. You can get more input this way. Try it out, play around with both and decide which one fits most for you 🌞
I’ve been switching between Voyager and Memmy. Both are really good!
I really like Infinity for Lemmy! But Voyager’s impressive too
On the web I really like alexandrite. It makes good use of a wide display and I really like being able to favorite communities so it’s easy to remember the ones I want to visit regularly.
I honestly never had an issue with the default desktop site, but damn, when you have an open ecosystem, we get cool things like Alexandrite, Photon, and mlmym!
Alexandrite seems like what New Reddit was going for but failed miserably at. I like it.
Second Alexandrite if you’re on a desktop
I really like thunder at the moment but voyager is a beautiful app
I cycle between Thunder, Summit and Sync, they all have similar vibes.
Same line up of clients that I use, though I do toss in Connect every now and then just to check on how its doing. It’s been super exciting to see the Lemmy mobile app ecosystem progress thus far!
More apps then content hah
I like Thunder too because it has a beautiful and unique UI, unlike the rest that just look like different variations of the same layout, such as Mlem, Memmy, and Voyager.
Thunder was my main until I noticed some extra battery drain on my android. I bet it’s gotten better since but it was pretty killer at the time about a month ago

I really like Ice Cubes for mastodon. And for Lemmy I’be been working on my own client for a few weeks now called Gravity, feel free to check it out on TestFlight.
Downloaded to do some testing 👍
Does exist any possibility to use your client also with Kbin? Thanks :)
Not at this point. The Kbin API is really different than other lemmy instances’. If I were to add this it would require a stack dedicated to Kbin support, and it’s not on my roadmap for the moment. Maybe when I’m done with all the basic features.
I’ll let you know!
Voyager is amazing and it’s my main for Lemmy, but I don’t have any issues with the official Mastodon app. Is there something the other Mastodon apps do that the official one doesn’t?
The official Mastodon app doesn’t support following hashtags, for some reason (the Mastodon website does, but the app doesn’t)
I haven’t had an issue with following hashtags with the official app. I can even get a list of hashtags I’m following.
Well, I’ve been giving Mammoth and Ice Cubes a try instead of the official app, and I don’t think I’m going back to official. They can both see way more posts, and translation actually works.
The lack of discovery features are why I never really got into Mastodon, but it seems like the third party apps got that right.

Voyager’s been my favorite lately but today I installed Avelon and I’m LOVING it.
With a few minor tweaks it’ll take the lead.
Yeah, I’m enjoying Avelon a ton.
Just installed it and wow it’s smooth! I may need to get used to the comment section font though. I’ve tried a few apps that haven’t taken me from Voyager, but this one might
I’m using Megalodon for Mastodon. I still can’t decide what to use for Lemmy.
Another appreciation to voyager. Visually feels like we never left the place that shall not be spoken.
For mastodon ivory sucked me into their paid model. The app is just so nice but long term don’t like the idea of paying monthly for an app that I don’t use a lot. Need to find an alternative on iOS
I really like Ice Cubes for Mastodon. Give that one a look if you haven’t.
Never seen this one. Looks nice !
It lacks a bit of the polish of Ivory, but it’s feature set is second to mine. Quote boosts and multi tag built right in are killer
