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

Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.

[-] 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.

[-] SpeedLimit55@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BackStabbath@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

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.

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

[-] Wabbitsmiles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Any preference so far?

[-] riotrick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Dinerty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm using an app at the moment

[-] salarua@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] dissociationmuseum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

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.

[-] Davidvanb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Trapping5341@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SVM@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Browser. Waiting for Sync!

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Alfuh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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

[-] CactusFog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] Zpiritual@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[-] pickle_party247@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.
