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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Firefox Focus on mobile

Firefox on desktop

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

I’m using wefwef on iPhone, nothing on my Android tablet yet. Waiting for Sync.

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Any preference so far?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Voyager for the time being.

It's a PWA.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Right now in firefox on a laptop. But I mainly use the Connect app. And will definately check out Sync when it releases.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Jerboa on mobile until Sync is ready. Nothing at all on desktop!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm using an app at the moment

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Connect for the time being, its not bad at all, I'll feel a little bad leaving it for Sync

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Cycling between Voyager, Jerboa and Thunder. Still have to try Sync

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Primarily Memmy for iOS.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Using the KBin pwa

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

M3 referring to Material You?
