On mobile, I'm using the Voyager app, which lemmy.world has installed as an alternative front end. Seems to work great.
On desktop, I'm using the amazing Alexandrite UI (https://alexandrite.app/) which solves all of my interface annoyances with the regular Lemmy UI (infinite scroll, opening posts without losing place in the feed, easily accessible communities list).
I love how flexible Lemmy is proving with its UI options... there really does seem to be something for everyone!
Jerboa for Android
For now I am using connect for lemmy. Which is great! And grown in Canada.
I second this. Been using Connect for about two weeks, and I think it's really solid. I would give it an 8.5/10 in its current state.
Using Connect as well. It's working great so far.
Voyager (former wefwef) quickly turned out the best. Good updates every day just made the experience the best. Go to their webpage from your browser of choice and install it from there.
(vger.app for those wondering)
I'm using Connect until Sync is available.
Highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. I've been using it practically since I started, and it's been consistently great (as long as your instance is up of course)
I am writing this through Connect. It's the closest thing to Rif I found, for Lemmy. I've had some login issues at the beginning, but that seems to have been solved.
Using Voyager, the really downside was the iOS inspired theming but, with latest updates android theming is supported. It's still in beta but promising. Better than that native iOS look ๐
The "native iOS" look looks pretty good even on Android IMO
Mostly browser. But when I'm off the computer, I use Liftoff.
Liftoff as well. While it's definitely missing some features sync had, it's pretty decent for an early app.
Thunder. I tried every single Android app, and this is the only one without any major issues.
You should try Voyager again. It wasn't the best day one when migrating from Reddit but right now I feel it's turned out to be undisputed.
I use Connect for Lemmy, the UI design is great.
Using Jerboa app on Android...had a rocky start but it has updated a whole lot in the past weeks, getting close to 5/5 probably 3.5/5 right now
Even with reddit I seldomly used the browser on PC, if I'm home and on my PC I generally play games or YouTube/streaming shows rarely browsed reddit on PC
App - Jerboa, mainly. I tried a few others and kept Liftoff installed, but keep going back to Jerboa.
I've been using Liftoff on Android. It's way better than mobile browsing but no where near the same level as Sync. Biggest pain points are searching and subscribing to new instances as well as an insane amount of cache builds up and never clears on its own.
Currently I can't load my subscribed instances but I think that's a temporary bug...
I am eagerly and patiently awaiting Sync for Lemmy release.
Jerboa on mobile and WebUI on PC
I use Connect for Lemmy ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect ) on my mobile and Photon on my Desktop ( https://photon.xylight.dev )
Jerboa for Lemmy for me. Pretty smooth experience.
I was switching between Liftoff and Connect, but lately I've just been using Connect. It's gotten a lot better in a short time.
Connect for now. It isn't perfect but pretty good. Feed isn't as smooth (images load in later kicks your scrolling up) and you can't open links in it automatically.
Web interface for now while I wait for Sync.
Browser of course! Sorry, but I'm just a Firefox Supremacist. I don't know why you have a bad experience with browsers, I've been enjoying using browser for everything. What exactly don't you like? Also what OS and browser are you using?
I'm using Voyager, it's simple and my design of choice.
For now I'm holding myself over with Jerboa
Liftoff was the first app I tried, still very happy with it and mostly using Lemmy through it.
Voyager checking in, pretty decent apart from common freezes while scrolling.
Browser, wefwef. Former Apollo user very happy with this interface.
Jerboa app. It is working well
I use the browser with the old.reddit look, and Connect on Android until the Sync app comes out.
While other apps offer a nice interface I find the jerboa app by far the best app for actually posting and commenting /actually interacting
This is important because I find that interacting with communities is actually a much better way to get meaningful engagement of Lemmy than it was with Reddit (I.e: lurking)
Using Voyager, formally WefWef.
It's constantly getting updated and they welcome feedback so I would definitely recommend lol
Thunder
I have jerboa installed but it was buggy so I mostly use a browser (Vivaldi)
Primarily Memmy for iOS.
Voyager is nice too though on iOS. Connect on Android is nice also.
