Seeking suggestions for VoiceOver-friendly Lenny clients for iOS/iPadOS

Greetings… sort of new to this whole Lenny thing. I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro Max and am looking for options that would allow me to read posts on Lenny, post to communities & that works well with VoiceOver. At the moment, I’m writing this using an app called Voyager, but it has some accessibility issues, so I figured it might be a good idea to toss this question out there and hopefully get some responses. Anyone had experience with apps for Lenny on iOS/iPadOS, especially when it comes to accessibility? Inquiring minds wish to know… Thanks for reading this, and looking forward to your comments.

Give Thunder a try. I use it on Android with TalkBack and it works really well. And from what I understand, the app is built in Flutter. So should work properly on iOS as well. I was instrumental in helping develop the accessibility of the app at least on Android and some of that work should carry over properly if not all of it.
- Using Thunder to post this reply… from my few minutes use of this app, I definitely have to praise the accessibility. definitely a better experience than Voyager has.
  
  Glad to hear it's working. Have a look in settings and there is an accessibility profile that disables some features and enables other ones that make TalkBack at least work a lot better and so may help with voiceover as well.
@thatblindsquatch Testing out the idea of posting a comment directly from my Mastodon feed. Assuming this works, I imagine I could also follow the community directly from the same feed, therefore opening one less app in the process.
- I can confirm that it works. Yes, possibly a good option as well.
@thatblindsquatch I am trying to figure this out as well. I am using Friendica. When I check the url, it says I'm still in my instance, friendca.world. I se the posts from this group, but I don't know how to write my own post or boost ones that I like. There is a "like" option, but I'm not sure that's the same thing. I am very new to this, having come to Friendica when I learned that Facebook was discontinueing their Basic Mobile site.
- I think you mention the instance? I am not sure! maybe this post will steer you in the right direction? https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-3-friendica/ @dandylover1 @thatblindsquatch
  
  @WeirdWriter @thatblindsquatch Thank you. This looks quite interesting
