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.

[–] 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.

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

Browser. Waiting for Sync!

[–] 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.

[–] 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

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

[–] 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

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.

Kbin on browser with scripts.

For myself I have KES, Move Comment Box To Top, Notifications Panel, and Subscriptions panel, all of which have done wonders for me. (and tagging @HipPriest)

[–] HipPriest@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

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

Any preference so far?

[–] 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.

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

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

App.

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

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mnmalst@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

@altima_neo https://mlmym.org/ is fantastic. Sadly it doesn't work with kbin. Maybe some day.

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] Amongog@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

/kbin form the Artemis app beta 🀩

[–] 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

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] Voyajer@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Using the KBin pwa

[–] CactusFog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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