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
Sync for Lemmy internal build.
It’s good, guys. Real good.
I tried quite a few: Jerboa, wefwef, Thunder, Liftoff, browser (Brave)
Ultimately chose Connect which functions great and has some good customizations I appreciate
Patiently waiting for Sync
Connect for the time being, its not bad at all, I’ll feel a little bad leaving it for Sync
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.

wefwef and safari
Browser. Waiting for Sync!
For now I am using connect for lemmy. Which is great! And grown in Canada.
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.
I’m using Connect until Sync is available.
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
I’m using Voyager, it’s simple and my design of choice.
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
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)
