How are you accessing Lemmy now? Browser or app? (lemmy.world)

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

The instance that Im on has both voyager built in, and a front end that makes it look like old reddit. So I use voyager on mobile and that old reddit look alike on PC.

I use Thunder because it's the most M3 looking app but still pretty functional.

Right now I'm on old.lemmy.world

But I also have Jerboa on my phone and Connect on my tablet. I like Connect more than Jerboa, but both of them have some quirks when browsing and reading. I really prefer the experience of the site.

App.

At the moment, I just use Connect on my phone and Wefwef/Voyager on Desktop (I access it via Firefox Sidebar)

I'm using https://old.lemmy.world/ and waiting on Sync for mobile.

Using the KBin pwa

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kbin PWA on Firefox on Android. Was using Chrome but it won't let me log in any more, invalid CSRF error.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Also using the Kbin PWA from Firefox. It got me to switch over from Edge because performance was terrible in any magazine that did something as simple as change the color of the title bar for some reason. Worked fine in Chrome oddly enough. But I'd sooner use Firefox over Chrome.

Browser. I've tried Connect and Liftoff on android but I couldn't find a way to browse communities I hadn't subscribed to, probably because I'm dumb

I jump between voyager for lemmy and liftoff while waiting for sync for lemmy. They seem pretty good so far. Better that using a browser imo. I mostly use voyager because looking at and replying to messages is kinda annoying in liftoff compared to voyager.
