I just made the switch to Lemmy and I’m curious what everyone’s using to browse it. Looking for recommendations for both mobile and desktop.
Mobile: Been testing a few apps.
- Voyager’s been solid so far - clean interface and works well. Only downside is no push notifications.
- Also tried Boost but it has some display issues - embedded icons don’t show up right and GIFs in comments are way too small.
Desktop: Still figuring out what to use here. What do you all prefer?
Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.
Jeroba on mobile. I don’t browse on my desktop. I tried Voyager for a while at first, but then it broke and I switched and haven’t had any issues with Jeroba.
Sync on my main tablet, because it has the best 2 column layout for my needs.
Connect on my phone where 2 column isn’t really a big factor, with summit as an alternative on there because I never have decided which of the two I prefer.
I don’t use lemmy on laptop/desktop because I dislike the experience via browser. It would be fine for passive scrolling I guess, but even with the various front end options, I run into more hassles than it’s worth when even the meh apps handle lemmy better and I just don’t need anything that could be gained via browser.
Phone: Sync but it feels a bit broken
Web: Regular frontendI use Eternity on Android, which is almost exclusively how I use Lemmy. When I use on desktop, I use old Lemmy.
The offical Jerboa client is great.
Voyager. It feels good.
Web browser.
I use Mlem on my iPhone 11. I don’t use social media on my pc. I haven’t tried any other apps, but I haven’t felt a need to either.
Mlem - in active development and the dev’s are very responsive as far as new feature
Mlem, ios only?
Voyager has been great. No notifications is a plus. Haha
i just started using Interstellar on Android. Really liking it so far.
Voyager on mobile because it’s open source
And thats it. I don’t use Lemmy on desktop
Browser
I switched to Summit for now, been great
Voyager can’t show profiles, that’s a big minus
However it blows everything else out of the water in every other way
What profiles?
