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

I am using Jerboa and Wefwef.

Can't really decide which one I like more.

But I am hoping to switch to Sync fully once that's out.

through Jibby Jammy from f-droid, it's pretty awesome.

Using m.lemmy.world as a firefox web app. I guess that's basically voyager nowadays. Working great! For the times when I can't stand the ios gui I use jerboa.

The instance that Im on has both voyager built in, and a front end that makes it look like old reddit. So I use voyager on mobile and that old reddit look alike on PC.

Right now I'm on old.lemmy.world

But I also have Jerboa on my phone and Connect on my tablet. I like Connect more than Jerboa, but both of them have some quirks when browsing and reading. I really prefer the experience of the site.

App.

At the moment, I just use Connect on my phone and Wefwef/Voyager on Desktop (I access it via Firefox Sidebar)

I'm using https://old.lemmy.world/ and waiting on Sync for mobile.

/kbin form the Artemis app beta 🤩

I use Thunder because it's the most M3 looking app but still pretty functional.

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

M3 referring to Material You?

Thunder, webUI for kbin.

Browser. I've tried Connect and Liftoff on android but I couldn't find a way to browse communities I hadn't subscribed to, probably because I'm dumb

I jump between voyager for lemmy and liftoff while waiting for sync for lemmy. They seem pretty good so far. Better that using a browser imo. I mostly use voyager because looking at and replying to messages is kinda annoying in liftoff compared to voyager.
