Thunder! It is
- FOSS
- Cross-platform (Android/iOS and you can even build for desktop or web)
- Has some neat features that I haven’t seen in other clients, like a really customizable FAB, material you theming, multiple anonymous instances, ping time and version info for instances, supports 0.19 including new features like instance blocking, an advanced share that can create a microblog style image to share posts
- Very good accessibility
- and lots more.
Coming from Relay for Reddit, I feel very at home in Thunder!
Unfortunately thunder dont show profile pics or community pictures, which has lead to people eating the onion couple times.
Out of curiosity, can you give an example of this? I would think the “real identity” of people on Lemmy wouldn’t matter nearly as much as on a people-focused platform like Mastodon or Twitter/X. Plus, icons can be faked and there’s no concept of a verified identity, so the username is the best indicator of identity anyway.
For example, it is pretty important to realize the post you are reading is from c/theonion, and the most effective way is to see the community picture on top of the post.
Also I find in general more image makes the UI more vibrant and inviting for me.
I am using Voyager & Eternity and both have no ads.
Same with Connect.
I use eternity chase its Foss and easily available in the fdroid store
And they are free
I think your ads got hacked.
- Voyager for Lemmy
- NextDNS to kill basically all 3rd party ad networks and tracking
I use Connect for lemmy, it’s really great and ad-free.
I’ve tried all the other popular apps, and keep coming back to Connect.
The main features that pull me back are profile-specific settings so I can set up different accounts without having to reconfigure everything every time I switch instances, and the ability to customize post card quick actions, specifically the Mark As Read quick button combined with the persistent Hide All Read toggle. It’s just so convenient, I keep coming back even though it deletes my account info every time it logs me out.Connect rarely makes it on these lists, but I think it’s fantastic.
Your lemmy app has ads???
Thunder gets regular updates and is open source and ad free.
Second this. Thunder has been great
I really like Voyager.
Voyager
It’s a FOSS privacy respecting Lemmy client.
It’s available on Android and IOS
You can also try it as a PWA: https://vger.app
Another one URL I use: https://wefwef.app/
The OG
i bought boost the first day because i loved boost for reddit but, honestly, i’m loving eternity even more these days.
it’s on neo store/fdroid and the repo is here: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity
Kinda sketch if they’re not on the official fdroid repo
Thunder
This is why ad blockers should always be used. Small devs don’t have relationships with advertisers or control over what ad networks will do.
Or you can pay once and be done with them. I think the price of a burger is not a big ask for something you use every day.
I do both.
Even the FBI recommends ad blockers for security.

Eternity is great! free, no ads, and no lag while scrolling. it also supports swipe to go back from posts.
I’m so used to navigating in Eternity at this point that all other apps seem clunky and unintuitive
