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
Voyager
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.
For now I’m holding myself over with Jerboa
Using Voyager, the really downside was the iOS inspired theming but, with latest updates android theming is supported. It’s still in beta but promising. Better than that native iOS look 😑
The “native iOS” look looks pretty good even on Android IMO
Using the KBin pwa
Kbin PWA on Firefox on Android. Was using Chrome but it won’t let me log in any more, invalid CSRF error.
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.
/kbin form the Artemis app beta 🤩
I’m actually interacting with the servers directly using my psychic powers.
Link?
Zelda, actually.
Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.
Liftoff
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
Browser at home and Jerboa on the go.
Same here.
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.
I was switching between Liftoff and Connect, but lately I’ve just been using Connect. It’s gotten a lot better in a short time.
web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
