On my macbook I just go on firefox and use the lemmy.world site
on my phone i do have a bunch of apps installed but im pretty much exclusively using memmy, i just check in on the other ones to see how development is going
Genuinely, I just use the site itself either on desktop or my phone. I've tried Jerboa, Summit, and Thunder, and while they're all good (Thunder was my favorite), the base webpage (with the darkly-compact theme) is more than good enough for my needs. That this is true is a great achievement on the part of the Lemmy devs, in my opinion.
Wef right now. I was using jerboa but not always working. Wef is feeling like home to me.
Mostly connect on my phone, haven't browsed much on desktop. Waiting on boost for lemmy though since I used to use the reddit version a lot.
I’ve tried all the apps and honestly they are all great. I use memmy mainly as I much prefer the UI. The only app I haven’t tried is mlem because it would not let me sign in and gave me an error whenever I tried

Android, summit.
So far web has been the best for me. I hope the apps can get really good eventually but everything seems to be the most reliable through a browser.
Just a browser for now - set up Firefox Beta on my phone and put the icon where my reddit app used to be. I have Lemmy, Kbin, Squabbles and Tildes bookmarked here and constantly open in tabs, so that it's separate from my regular browsing and I can just switch to ut similarly to opening RIF i the past.
Might switch to apps when they mature a bit more, but for now I'm actually enjoying the browser experience.
Been trying a bunch of apps but I think I’ve settled on wefwef. It’s very well-made and is basically Apollo for Lemmy.
Liftoff
Mobile browser, thunder and connect, atm.
Connect on Android. Waiting for Sync to come, supposed to be in the next 6 weeks I read.
I came from the official Reddit app and started with Mlem, then Memmy shortly after.
Kinda accidentally stuck with Memmy and haven’t touched Mlem for a few days. Makes me wish I’d tried Apollo when I actually used Reddit but it doesn’t matter cuz I’m not going back anyway.
I did sign up for Sync though so I’ll probably give that a chance when it becomes available.
The beta of Mlem for iOS
I’ve been jumping between Mlem and Memmy. I prefer Mlem (especially after their update today) but for now, Memmy is more stable so I use it when Mlem is being buggy
Mixture of Memmy and Mlem apps
Same. Can’t decide which one I prefer.
