web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
Waiting for Boost
I have jerboa installed but it was buggy so I mostly use a browser (Vivaldi)
Im using Alexandrite on desktop und Liftoff on mobile. Liftoff is great, I don't really miss much from the famous reddit apps.
Voyager
Currently using CONNECT on the phone and browser on PC. More or less exactly the way I used to browse reddit really
I'm suffering through Jerboa, heavily anticipating Sync since it'll change everything for me
Thunder
App, funny enough never been here on the pc.
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.
Browser. So far I haven't found an app that is user friendly, allows me to switch accounts, and doesn't log me out every 30 minutes.
Liftoff
Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.
Browser on on PC. On mobile, Connect or Lift-off; can't really tell the differences yet.
I'm not a smartphone guy. I use a browser version on my laptop.
Mostly liftoff (now), sometimes browser.
Firefox when I'm at my PC, and when I'm relaxing I switch between Connect on Android or Memmy on my iPad.
Desktop browser on PC or tablet with multiple Lemmy instances pinned. I get different flavors of lemmy based on subscription. Also wefwef.app and old.lemmy. iOS Mlem and Memmy apps on phone.
I was using Jerboa because i was used to Sync for reddit. But, I got a bit tired of how rough around the edges it is, so I switched to just installing my Lemmy instance front page as Firefox "app" on my phone and realized it's not that bad as a UI, so sticking with it for now.
I'll probably try apps again in the future but I feel more open to "installing" good web apps now. Incidentally I tried the same trick with Reddit's mobile interface after Sync stopped working and realized it's also not so awful as I remembered. I did prefer Sync but I'll see how it goes with this method. So it's mobile web interfaces on Android for me for now.
Having said that, in both cases I think I'd prefer a more "simple HTML" type experience like old reddit over these dynamic SPA things they both have going.
I just recently started using the app Thunder, but also old.lemmy.world as well. Feel almost at home until Sync is released.
wefwef and safari
Browser. Waiting for Sync!
liftoff
I'm using an app at the moment
Both, I guess, technically.
I have been using Voyager for lemmy.world. which is a progressive web app you can install to your phones homescreen. It is still is using the browsers engine for javascript, but it behaves as if it was a mobile app.
Another vote for liftoff. Has been great for me since I installed it.
on my laptop, i access the Lemmy web frontend through Tangram. on mobile, i currently just access it through Firefox, but i'd like to switch to an app once i find one i like
Mobile browser, it's a bit clunky but waiting for Sync. I haven't been back to reddit more than a handful of times since before the blackout. Patiently waiting for Sync.
Firefox Focus on mobile
Firefox on desktop
Right now in firefox on a laptop. But I mainly use the Connect app. And will definately check out Sync when it releases.
