Hi fellow sync-ers,

Having joined Lemmy recently, I have been having a ton of fun. However accessing Lemmy through my mobile browser has been an awful experience, similar to my past Reddit experience till I found Sync.

I'm not sure how much longer I can tolerate the browser experience, and am hesitating jumping on a app. Where's your head at about this?

Edit (4 days later)

I've been on Connect and has been 8/10 so far. Gonna dual use with liftoff after seeing the comments.

I did a 5 minute ctr+F to see which were the most popular apps/ interfaces. Not sorted by pos/neg, just mentions.

  • wefwef/ voyager - 46
  • connect - 43
  • Liftoff - 33
  • Jerboa - 23
  • Thunder - 16
  • Firefox - 13
  • Thunder - 16
  • Old.lemmy - 5
  • Alexandrite - 4
  • Vivaldi - 2

App - Thunder FTW

I really enjoy the double action swiping to up/down vote or to favorite/reply. Also, you can save your favorite default filter for the main feed.

on my laptop, i access the Lemmy web frontend through Tangram. on mobile, i currently just access it through Firefox, but i'd like to switch to an app once i find one i like

Currently just visiting on Vivaldi (mobile), but STOKED for Boost For Lemmy

Kbin on browser with scripts.

No other option really at the moment, but curious what scripts you're using?

Both, I guess, technically.

I have been using Voyager for lemmy.world. which is a progressive web app you can install to your phones homescreen. It is still is using the browsers engine for javascript, but it behaves as if it was a mobile app.

[–] HipPriest@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Kbin with PWA. Happy enough with that but interested to see what happens with the Artemis app as well

[–] 1ird@notyour.rodeo 2 points 2 years ago

Voyager for the time being.

It's a PWA.

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Another vote for liftoff. Has been great for me since I installed it.

[–] Keishee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I tried wefwef (now Voyager) but was annoyed by its account/instance selector I'm now using Liftoff, it's quite usable despite its meh design

[–] Techie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.

[–] Alfuh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I tried quite a few: Jerboa, wefwef, Thunder, Liftoff, browser (Brave)

Ultimately chose Connect which functions great and has some good customizations I appreciate

Patiently waiting for Sync

[–] Davidvanb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Browser. Jerboa just wasn't working well for me anymore.

[–] zpm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Mobile browser, it's a bit clunky but waiting for Sync. I haven't been back to reddit more than a handful of times since before the blackout. Patiently waiting for Sync.

[–] Richard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Primarily Memmy for iOS.

Voyager is nice too though on iOS. Connect on Android is nice also.

I may be new to the fediverse, but I’ve found kbin more visually pleasing than native lemmy website. That’s on desktop, on mobile, since there’s no native kbin app yet, I’ve added kbin as a WebApp to my Home Screen. I’ve heard good thing about Liftoff too.

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

I am writing this on Connect. Mostly works, but about one in 5 comments fails due to "wrong language". I haven't yet found any option of even setting comment language, so I guess it's autodetecting and failing at that.

I also miss Sync's filtering capabilities.

[–] BitingChaos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I keep going back and forth between Voyager (buggy) and Memmy (missing features).

If scrolling was fixed (iOS) and images stopped partially loading in Voyager, I would stick with that.

If Memmy supported favorites (without subscribing to a community), then I'd probably stick with that.

[–] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

App Memmy = image handeling is a bit buggy. Web wefwef/Voyager = has a freezing issue.

The should kiss.

[–] Zpiritual@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Using m.lemmy.world as a firefox web app. I guess that's basically voyager nowadays. Working great! For the times when I can't stand the ios gui I use jerboa.

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

95% app. 5% website

[–] wason@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Summit for Lemmy

[–] gaybear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

through Jibby Jammy from f-droid, it's pretty awesome.

[–] techguy86@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m using Bean and love it! I was using Memmy, and I still swap back and forth, but Bean has a real Apollo feel.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I am using Jerboa and Wefwef.

Can't really decide which one I like more.

But I am hoping to switch to Sync fully once that's out.
