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

Browser. Jerboa just wasn't working well for me anymore.

Firefox Focus on mobile

Firefox on desktop

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

The should kiss.

Kbin on browser with scripts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No other option really at the moment, but curious what scripts you're using?

Voyager for the time being.

It's a PWA.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Currently just visiting on Vivaldi (mobile), but STOKED for Boost For Lemmy

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I tried quite a few: Jerboa, wefwef, Thunder, Liftoff, browser (Brave)

Ultimately chose Connect which functions great and has some good customizations I appreciate

App - Thunder FTW

I really enjoy the double action swiping to up/down vote or to favorite/reply. Also, you can save your favorite default filter for the main feed.

Connect for the time being, its not bad at all, I'll feel a little bad leaving it for Sync

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I tried wefwef (now Voyager) but was annoyed by its account/instance selector I'm now using Liftoff, it's quite usable despite its meh design

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

Primarily Memmy for iOS.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Both, I guess, technically.

I have been using Voyager for lemmy.world. which is a progressive web app you can install to your phones homescreen. It is still is using the browsers engine for javascript, but it behaves as if it was a mobile app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right now in firefox on a laptop. But I mainly use the Connect app. And will definately check out Sync when it releases.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m using wefwef on iPhone, nothing on my Android tablet yet. Waiting for Sync.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can't you just use wefwef on the tablet as well?

I may be new to the fediverse, but I’ve found kbin more visually pleasing than native lemmy website. That’s on desktop, on mobile, since there’s no native kbin app yet, I’ve added kbin as a WebApp to my Home Screen. I’ve heard good thing about Liftoff too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

95% app. 5% website

Kbin PWA on Firefox on Android. Was using Chrome but it won't let me log in any more, invalid CSRF error.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Also using the Kbin PWA from Firefox. It got me to switch over from Edge because performance was terrible in any magazine that did something as simple as change the color of the title bar for some reason. Worked fine in Chrome oddly enough. But I'd sooner use Firefox over Chrome.

Using the KBin pwa

Summit for Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m using Bean and love it! I was using Memmy, and I still swap back and forth, but Bean has a real Apollo feel.
