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 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
Using Jerboa app on Android…had a rocky start but it has updated a whole lot in the past weeks, getting close to 5/5 probably 3.5/5 right now
Even with reddit I seldomly used the browser on PC, if I’m home and on my PC I generally play games or YouTube/streaming shows rarely browsed reddit on PC
Jeroba is nice. Closest thing to Baconreader
Browser at home and Jerboa on the go.
Same here.
I use Connect for Lemmy, the UI design is great.
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.
@altima_neo https://mlmym.org/ is fantastic. Sadly it doesn’t work with kbin. Maybe some day.
App Memmy = image handeling is a bit buggy. Web wefwef/Voyager = has a freezing issue.
I’m using the “Connect” app on Android
Same here since it’s the closest we have to Sync at the moment. It also lets me block entire instances, which is great since Lemmy itself doesn’t have this feature yet.
I use Thunder because it’s the most M3 looking app but still pretty functional.
M3 referring to Material You?
Yep
Currently using CONNECT on the phone and browser on PC. More or less exactly the way I used to browse reddit really
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.
While other apps offer a nice interface I find the jerboa app by far the best app for actually posting and commenting /actually interacting
This is important because I find that interacting with communities is actually a much better way to get meaningful engagement of Lemmy than it was with Reddit (I.e: lurking)
App, funny enough never been here on the pc.
PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.
Browser. Waiting for Sync!
Browser basically 100% of the time.
I’m also browser-only. Never even used an app for Lemmy, I don’t need someone to see I have a Lemmy app on my homescreen.
I never once used an app for reddit - the few times I did access it from my phone I’d do so through Firefox, with “Use Desktop Site” enabled.
I did bookmark wefwef / now Voyager for Lemmy, and I use it when I use Lemmy on my phone (I like that it doesn’t need to be installed) - but I do that so infrequently it’s basically a rounding error.
