For mobile users (Apple iOS):
5. Download Testflight from the App Store. Then download any of these Lemmy iOS apps, such as Mlem. Other great apps are Wefwef (runs in browser too!), Memmy (lots of functionality) and Thunder (resembles Apollo).
For mobile users (Android):
5. Download any of these Lemmy Android apps.
For DESKTOP users, optional:
5. Download any of these Lemmy desktop UI looks.
