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.

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

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.

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

[–] Wabbitsmiles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Any preference so far?

[–] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Another vote for liftoff. Has been great for me since I installed it.

[–] guttermonk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] Keishee@lemmy.world 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

[–] Weaponized_Stupidity@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

Kbin on browser with scripts.

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.

[–] Richard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Primarily Memmy for iOS.

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

[–] coffeebiscuit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

The should kiss.

[–] Alfuh@lemmy.world 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

Patiently waiting for Sync

[–] riotrick@lemmy.world 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.

[–] chicagohuman@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Jerboa on mobile until Sync is ready. Nothing at all on desktop!

[–] activator90@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

Cycling between Voyager, Jerboa and Thunder. Still have to try Sync

[–] sndrtj@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Dinerty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using an app at the moment

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Summit for Lemmy

[–] gaybear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] techguy86@lemmy.world 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.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Zpiritual@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.
