Im using Alexandrite on desktop und Liftoff on mobile. Liftoff is great, I don't really miss much from the famous reddit apps.
I have jerboa installed but it was buggy so I mostly use a browser (Vivaldi)
Currently using CONNECT on the phone and browser on PC. More or less exactly the way I used to browse reddit really
App, funny enough never been here on the pc.
Voyager
Liftoff on mobile. Don't get to sit at a PC for web browsing much. If sync feels like it did on reddit. I will switch to that and customize it exactly how I want it again.
Same here. Liftoff does what I need it to do for the time-being, but will be switching to sync whenever it is ready to go
browser.
Waiting for Boost
web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
I'm suffering through Jerboa, heavily anticipating Sync since it'll change everything for me
Browser on on PC. On mobile, Connect or Lift-off; can't really tell the differences yet.
I'm not a smartphone guy. I use a browser version on my laptop.
Browser. Waiting for Sync!
Firefox when I'm at my PC, and when I'm relaxing I switch between Connect on Android or Memmy on my iPad.
Liftoff
Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.
Mostly liftoff (now), sometimes browser.
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.
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.
I was using Jerboa because i was used to Sync for reddit. But, I got a bit tired of how rough around the edges it is, so I switched to just installing my Lemmy instance front page as Firefox "app" on my phone and realized it's not that bad as a UI, so sticking with it for now.
I'll probably try apps again in the future but I feel more open to "installing" good web apps now. Incidentally I tried the same trick with Reddit's mobile interface after Sync stopped working and realized it's also not so awful as I remembered. I did prefer Sync but I'll see how it goes with this method. So it's mobile web interfaces on Android for me for now.
Having said that, in both cases I think I'd prefer a more "simple HTML" type experience like old reddit over these dynamic SPA things they both have going.
I just recently started using the app Thunder, but also old.lemmy.world as well. Feel almost at home until Sync is released.
wefwef and safari
liftoff
Another vote for liftoff. Has been great for me since I installed it.
Jerboa on mobile until Sync is ready. Nothing at all on desktop!
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.
Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.
I'm using an app at the moment
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.
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
