Dropping this recommendation because I’ve been looking for a reasonably good iOS Lemmy app for a year. They’ve all been bad (IMO), but this is so far the closest to how good Apollo for Reddit was, in terms of features and polish. It is also FOSS which is great. I haven’t tried the Android version, but since the apps seem to just be containers for the web app (vger.app), I imagine it’s just as good over there.

The one feature I noticed missing is user avatars.

I don’t know the developer or anything. Just glad to not have to use the browser to use Hexbear.

      Oh how did I miss that missing feature? I don’t post too often so I’ll just use the browser if I really need to use an emoji lol

        One dumb question, the only thing that keep me from using Voyager is that the interface looks a lot like any Iphone app, it does look like that in Android?

          There's an option in Themes to change to an "Android" mode which helps a bit, but it still looks iOS-y with that bottom bar.

          But it was based on Apollo which was made with the explicit purpose of being as stock Apple looking as possible so it's no surprise. It doesn't bother me at all.

    How does one manually add hexbear to login? I can't seem to figure that out.

    Update, eh, nevermind. The default selection of servers is incredibly sus. Lots of servers we've defederated from for very good reasons. I'll just skip this app and keep using the website. It works perfectly on Firefox on Android anyway.

      There's always Jerboa if you need an android app, though it still can't access hexbear emojis.

      You have to explicitly type hexbear.net. It doesn’t show up in the search, which is sus but might be a matter of Hexbear not being whitelisted, as opposed to being blacklisted.
