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

Thunder

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

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

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

Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.

[–] 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.

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

[–] BackStabbath@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Switching between Thunder, Connect, and Summit.

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

Any preference so far?

[–] 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

[–] 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

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

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

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

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

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

Browser. Waiting for Sync!

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

Voyager for the time being.

It's a PWA.

[–] 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

[–] 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.

[–] Amongog@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

/kbin form the Artemis app beta 🤩

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

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

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

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

[–] 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

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

Summit for Lemmy

[–] 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.
