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
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.
I’d also kill for default comment sorting, if you’re taking requests.
Awesome! Great work so far.
Thanks! :)
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.
Firefox when I’m at my PC, and when I’m relaxing I switch between Connect on Android or Memmy on my iPad.
Liftoff on mobile. Don’t get to sit at a PC for web browsing much. If sync feels like it did on reddit. I will switch to that and customize it exactly how I want it again.
Same here. Liftoff does what I need it to do for the time-being, but will be switching to sync whenever it is ready to go

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
Primarily Memmy for iOS.
Voyager is nice too though on iOS. Connect on Android is nice also.
I use Connect for Lemmy ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect ) on my mobile and Photon on my Desktop ( https://photon.xylight.dev )
wait what people actually use photon
I haven’t yet found a UI that I like. I’ve been trying Alexandrite for the past couple of days, but Photon has stuck for now.
btw I’m the photon developer
Jerboa for Lemmy for me. Pretty smooth experience.
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.
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
/kbin form the Artemis app beta 🤩
I’m actually interacting with the servers directly using my psychic powers.
Link?
Zelda, actually.
Liftoff
Browser at home and Jerboa on the go.
Same here.
