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

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.

Have you tried Liftoff? I've never had any issues with it.

I do like Thunder, but it's harder to navigate to people's profiles and communities.

yeah, same. from all the ones I tried, I stuck with Liftoff. seems like the most functional and simplistic one to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup. Things like easily editing posts or getting extra context menus up, or sorting feeds by Top Hour or 6 Hour - Liftoff can do this but Thunder can't.

~~The only feature that I can think of that Thunder has that Liftoff doesn't is swipe actions.~~

Edit: Liftoff has swipe actions! I missed the update.

I did, at some point settings got lost between updates and then a later version crashed on startup, that's when I switched.

Ditto. Thunder is amazing. Connect had lots of bugs for me..

Thunder all the way. I tried Connect, Liftoff and Jerboa and they just didn't work the way i liked. Thunder is filling the void of sync for me.
