Was first using Memmy but it felt unfinished and abandoned. Then I switched to Bean. Itβs much better but still needs a lot of work. I was not aware there are so many Lemmy clients already. Iβm trying Voyager now and it seems very good. As a former Apollo user I feel right at home.

Is there some kind of comparison between these clients? Ideally, I'd want a web client with more customizability than the default one - in particupar, I'd like to be able to set the default view to show subscribed communities instead of the local ones. As I'm running my own instance, I don't have much in terms of local content

Shout out for Bean! It's a fantastic app that this former Apollo Ultra user thinks is fantastic.
Need Arctic to be added to the list. I personally use Thunder because of its unique UI, unlike most other apps that just look like different variations of Apollo. Special mention to Arctic and Avelon because they can embed and play gifs/videos instead of opening an in-app browser. Arctic can also scrub gifs which is cool. Artemis has a unique UI too but Iβm not on kbin so Iβll have to wait for lemmy support to fully use it.

I was using Jerboa and Thunder when Jerboa got buggy but this thread turned me on to Voyager which seems to work best amongst them, although I don't love the theme.
I'm using the standard UI on web and Jerboa on mobile, but I'm going to try alternate web UIs like Photon and Alexandrite and find a good one that also works as a PWA so I can use the same client both on my computer and on my phone. I'd much prefer to use the same client across computer, tablet and phone.
