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

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.

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.

[–] 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.

[–] chicagohuman@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

I'm using an app at the moment

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

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

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

The should kiss.

[–] salarua@sopuli.xyz 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

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

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

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

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

I tried wefwef (now Voyager) but was annoyed by its account/instance selector I'm now using Liftoff, it's quite usable despite its meh design

[–] guttermonk@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

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

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

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

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

[–] 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.

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

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

[–] Nilex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

M3 referring to Material You?

/kbin form the Artemis app beta 🀩

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years 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.

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

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

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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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

Thunder, webUI for kbin.
