What client do Android users use for Lemmy these days? I’ve been using Jerboa from the start but it’s a bit basic and lacks any good search functionality. So I want to try some others. What do other Android users recommend?
Things I like about Jerboa:
- It just works. It’s pretty simple.
- It has actual private browsing in app. You never have to leave the app and it knows how to never save your history.
- It can do the above even when setting your main browser to Firefox (so as blocking works even in open links in app).
Things I don’t like about Jerboa:
- Text entry is oftentimes buggy.
- Lack of any decent search for communities or in threads.
- No draft capability.


As a primarily iPhone user, I get a thrill using Voyager on my Android phone. It’s basically an Apollo clone, and Apollo was iOS only (for Reddit). IIRC Voyager is based on its released source code. The Apollo dev was never gonna code for Android, but he didn’t stop others from doing so, and they did. I also like the client. On iOS, I use it for my Piefed account because of its support for that branch (fork?) of Lemmy. On iOS for this account, I use Mlem, which I believe is iOS only.
I’m happy with Voyager on Android, but I’m certainly open to alternatives. I want to keep one app that can switch between the two, so it needs Lemmy and Piefed support. I also like the comfortable interface with previews, the ability to blur/hide NSFW on a toggle (like if I’m out in public vs at home), and swipe controls (upvote, downvote, reply, and save). Easy access to blocking is also important (e.g. on this account I browse /all).
