    I searched Lemmy in the app store. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why there are a bunch of third-party apps that connect to Lemmy. But it seemed like Voyager was popular, so I went with that.

      I would read up on how the fediverse works if you don’t understand why there are so many “third-party” apps.

      Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.

      However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it’s as close to “first party” as you can get.

      Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.
