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
For now I am using connect for lemmy. Which is great! And grown in Canada.
I second this. Been using Connect for about two weeks, and I think it’s really solid. I would give it an 8.5/10 in its current state.
I’m gonna give Connect a go! Thanks for the recc
And I’m guessing you’re here at Sync due to past loyalties, and may jump ship when Sync is up and/on Connect experience goes down?
Surprisingly no actually. I used RIF on Android and Apollo on iOS. I just joined the sub because I wanted to see what apps people were using too when I migrated like you, and I had seen a lot of people recommend Connect across multiple threads so seemed like a strong contender.
I may try some others in the future, but I see no reason to do that at the moment because I’ve been having a pleasant experience so far. Let me know what you think if you give it a try!
App. I like it so far.
Memmy is nailing it for me. Brand new app and it’s already super smooth, intuitive and functional. Experience is close enough to Apollo that I’m now fully onboard the Lemmy train.
Mostly browser. But when I’m off the computer, I use Liftoff.
On mobile, I’m using the Voyager app, which lemmy.world has installed as an alternative front end. Seems to work great.
On desktop, I’m using the amazing Alexandrite UI (https://alexandrite.app/) which solves all of my interface annoyances with the regular Lemmy UI (infinite scroll, opening posts without losing place in the feed, easily accessible communities list).
I love how flexible Lemmy is proving with its UI options… there really does seem to be something for everyone!
Wow, Alexandrite is awesome. If it rolls in an account switcher, it seems like it’ll be just about perfect for me.
(dev here) I had an idea for how I’d build a profile switcher recently, it’s something I want to implement soon.
