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

Primarily Memmy for iOS.

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

I'm actually interacting with the servers directly using my psychic powers.

I have jerboa installed but it was buggy so I mostly use a browser (Vivaldi)

[โ€“] yuki2501@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Browser. So far I haven't found an app that is user friendly, allows me to switch accounts, and doesn't log me out every 30 minutes.

Im using Alexandrite on desktop und Liftoff on mobile. Liftoff is great, I don't really miss much from the famous reddit apps.

[โ€“] KuroJ@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Firefox when I'm at my PC, and when I'm relaxing I switch between Connect on Android or Memmy on my iPad.

[โ€“] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Desktop browser on PC or tablet with multiple Lemmy instances pinned. I get different flavors of lemmy based on subscription. Also wefwef.app and old.lemmy. iOS Mlem and Memmy apps on phone.

[โ€“] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just recently started using the app Thunder, but also old.lemmy.world as well. Feel almost at home until Sync is released.

[โ€“] april4356@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

website on the desktop, liftoff on android.

wish i could use sync when it comes out, but there is no way for me to pay for the app on the play store.

[โ€“] Raisin8659@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago

Browser on on PC. On mobile, Connect or Lift-off; can't really tell the differences yet.

Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.

Sync for Lemmy internal build.

It's good, guys. Real good.

web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.

[โ€“] Zathras@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I've been hopping around between the different Android apps and PWAs however, I always seem to come back to Voyager (wefwef). My primary app on Reddit was sync and hope to return to it if it functions as it did on the other site. If not, I am enjoying Connect and Jerboa. Thunder, Summit, and Liftoff have small things I would like to see tweaked and/or they have minor bugs that they are still ironing out, but I am not yet sold on a specific app yet until we get further down the road.

Waiting for Boost

[โ€“] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Mostly liftoff (now), sometimes browser.

[โ€“] themizarkshow@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.

[โ€“] salarua@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year 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

I'm using an app at the moment

[โ€“] raubarno@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not a smartphone guy. I use a browser version on my laptop.

[โ€“] SVM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Browser. Waiting for Sync!

[โ€“] HipPriest@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] zpm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[โ€“] BitingChaos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[โ€“] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

The should kiss.

[โ€“] jared@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Kbin on browser with scripts.
