So I have to ask why was this post which asked what is a decent client for Debian removed (per rule #3):

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1681507

while at the same time this “What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?” is not removed? Is it because the moderator created this thread & thus /above the law/, in effect?

I’m really liking Memmy on iOS. It takes some inspiration from Apollo.

I like both Memmy and Liftoff. Memmy is probably best for most people, though.

I am using mlem for iOS. I haven’t tried anything else yet though. (Also, mlem is still in testflight beta, but I think it will be on the app store soon)

I love to use thunder as my main lemmy client it's available for Android and iOS Both

Have tried all of the iOS ones, and Beans is by far the best!

Beans is tied for second for me. It has the smoothest scrolling but lacks some features of Memmy. I wish it wasn’t $30 (going up to$50 next week) for lifetime though. I’d buy it for $10, maybe $15, even as a second app, but $30/$50 is too steep provided Memmy is free and more future rich, as well as Voyager.

If you like smoothness and swipieness then you need to try Summit (Android).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't provide much value if you want to also moderate communities and all. It can a clean experience but it does lack a lot of basic features that are available on the web versions of any instances.

I'm equally and technically impressed by both Memmy and Avelon, cosmetically impressed more by Avelon (Memmy is also gorgeous), and emotionally more attached to Memmy since it was the first true native Apollo-like Lemmy adaptation and dev is super on-the-ball. Not that Avelon's is not I just can't speak to it since I haven't felt the need in my admittedly-lesser use of it compared to Memmy.

Both amazing apps and you really can't go wrong with either. I do really like Avelon's forced collapsing of all top-level comments' child comments which makes it easier to navigate the various apects people are commenting on at the top level and work your way down to more specific discssion based on your filtering of which top level comments address that which is of immediate interest to the specific readers' needs or preferred line of inquiry
