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.
Jerboa for Android
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.
Using Connect as well. It's working great so far.
Voyager (former wefwef) quickly turned out the best. Good updates every day just made the experience the best. Go to their webpage from your browser of choice and install it from there.
(vger.app for those wondering)
I'm using Connect until Sync is available.
Connect is great. Big upgrade from using mobile browser.
Hey look at us Connecting here!
Highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. I've been using it practically since I started, and it's been consistently great (as long as your instance is up of course)
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 ๐
The "native iOS" look looks pretty good even on Android IMO
Mostly browser. But when I'm off the computer, I use Liftoff.
Liftoff as well. While it's definitely missing some features sync had, it's pretty decent for an early app.
Connect for now. It isn't perfect but pretty good. Feed isn't as smooth (images load in later kicks your scrolling up) and you can't open links in it automatically.
Thunder. I tried every single Android app, and this is the only one without any major issues.
You should try Voyager again. It wasn't the best day one when migrating from Reddit but right now I feel it's turned out to be undisputed.
I use Connect for Lemmy, the UI design is great.
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
Jerboa on mobile and WebUI on PC
App - Jerboa, mainly. I tried a few others and kept Liftoff installed, but keep going back to Jerboa.
I've been using Liftoff on Android. It's way better than mobile browsing but no where near the same level as Sync. Biggest pain points are searching and subscribing to new instances as well as an insane amount of cache builds up and never clears on its own.
Currently I can't load my subscribed instances but I think that's a temporary bug...
I am eagerly and patiently awaiting Sync for Lemmy release.
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 )
Web interface for now while I wait for Sync.
Jerboa for Lemmy for me. Pretty smooth experience.
I'm using Voyager, it's simple and my design of choice.
I use the browser with the old.reddit look, and Connect on Android until the Sync app comes out.
For now I'm holding myself over with Jerboa
Browser of course! Sorry, but I'm just a Firefox Supremacist. I don't know why you have a bad experience with browsers, I've been enjoying using browser for everything. What exactly don't you like? Also what OS and browser are you using?
Voyager checking in, pretty decent apart from common freezes while scrolling.
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.
Jerboa app. It is working well
I'm actually interacting with the servers directly using my psychic powers.
Link?
Zelda, actually.
Liftoff was the first app I tried, still very happy with it and mostly using Lemmy through it.
Browser, wefwef. Former Apollo user very happy with this interface.
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)
I've been hopping around between the different Android apps and PWAs however, I always seem to come back to Voyager (wefwef). My primary app on Reddit was sync and hope to return to it if it functions as it did on the other site. If not, I am enjoying Connect and Jerboa. Thunder, Summit, and Liftoff have small things I would like to see tweaked and/or they have minor bugs that they are still ironing out, but I am not yet sold on a specific app yet until we get further down the road.
PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.
Using Voyager, formally WefWef.
It's constantly getting updated and they welcome feedback so I would definitely recommend lol
web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
