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.
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.
Voyager has been great. No notifications is a plus. Haha
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.
Voyager on mobile because it’s open source
And thats it. I don’t use Lemmy on desktop
I respect it
Voyager. It feels good.
Just the regular browser. It just works.
Thought I was the only one. As I was reading replies I was wondering if I was doing it wrong.
Yeah, particularly opening posts in tabs is something I miss from most apps…
On your phone?
Yes. It works.
I use Summit on my phone, Mlem on my iPad. I don’t browse from pc.
I am currently trying out Summit, crazy nice app so far
It’s awesome
Mlem - in active development and the dev’s are very responsive as far as new feature
Mlem, ios only?
Yes, iOS only.
I switched to Summit for now, been great
I use the browser while on PC and Voyager on mobile since I like the minimalist interface, don’t need push notifications, and find the “user tags” feature is pretty nifty :)
How does the user tags feature work?
It displays a net score of the number of times you upvoted/downvoted a user beside their username. You can enable that feature under “Settings” in Voyager.
I wonder if that feature is synced or if its local on my phone only
Not synced, it’s a voyager-only feature
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.
Boost on my phone, and browser on PC. It’s what works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve been trying out the frontend Alexandrite on browser on PC, thoughts?
Not tried it, so I don’t have thoughts on it
i just started using Interstellar on Android. Really liking it so far.
