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.

    I use Eternity on Android, which is almost exclusively how I use Lemmy. When I use on desktop, I use old Lemmy.

    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.

      I’ve been using Jerboa since I signed up, I do have occasions where it can’t connect or won’t load my subscriptions but not too often. I’m not that heavy of a user though.

    Voyager on Android, default browser UI on desktop. Although, I might try one of the alternative browser UIs as the Lemmy.world default UI seems to load slowly (or even hang entirely, without refreshing content) for me.

      Voyager looks really good on Android, heard about it being on iOS too. I’ve been trying out Alexandite as UI on desktop

    Jerboa on android, default frontend in the browser on desktop. Jerboa is visually great, especially if you were used to RIF, and works very well. But since it’s made by one of the main lemmy devs, it’ll never support mbin or piefed.
