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

Firefox Focus on mobile

Firefox on desktop

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

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.

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] 1ird@notyour.rodeo 2 points 1 year ago

Voyager for the time being.

It's a PWA.

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.

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

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

Any preference so far?

[–] jared@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Kbin on browser with scripts.

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

The should kiss.

[–] activator90@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Peglar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

App. I like it so far.

I'm using an app at the moment

[–] salarua@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year 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

[–] 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.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

Primarily Memmy for iOS.

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

[–] 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.

[–] Goodie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year 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.

Using the KBin pwa

[–] pickle_party247@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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

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

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

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

[–] loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.
