App, funny enough never been here on the pc.
Currently using CONNECT on the phone and browser on PC. More or less exactly the way I used to browse reddit really
web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
Voyager
I have jerboa installed but it was buggy so I mostly use a browser (Vivaldi)
I'm not a smartphone guy. I use a browser version on my laptop.
Liftoff
Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.
wefwef and safari
I just recently started using the app Thunder, but also old.lemmy.world as well. Feel almost at home until Sync is released.
browser.
Browser on on PC. On mobile, Connect or Lift-off; can't really tell the differences yet.
I was using Jerboa because i was used to Sync for reddit. But, I got a bit tired of hiw rough around the edges it is, so I switched to just installing my Lemmy instance fromt 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.
Mostly liftoff (now), sometimes browser.
Waiting for Boost
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.
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.
Firefox when I'm at my PC, and when I'm relaxing I switch between Connect on Android or Memmy on my iPad.
liftoff
Connect for the time being, its not bad at all, I'll feel a little bad leaving it for Sync
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.
I'm using an app at the moment
App Memmy = image handeling is a bit buggy. Web wefwef/Voyager = has a freezing issue.
Currently just visiting on Vivaldi (mobile), but STOKED for Boost For Lemmy
Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.
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.
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.
App. I like it so far.
Which app?
Memmy is nailing it for me. Brand new app and itβs already super smooth, intuitive and functional. Experience is close enough to Apollo that Iβm now fully onboard the Lemmy train.
Another vote for liftoff. Has been great for me since I installed it.
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.
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.
