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.
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.
Web browser.
Mlem - in active development and the dev’s are very responsive as far as new feature
Mlem, ios only?
Yes, iOS only.
PC. I’m just using the web front end, which is decent. It looks like nobody really has an alternative, which is okay, but I do wish I could switch to backup instances more gracefully when there’s downtime.
Voyager has been great. No notifications is a plus. Haha
mlmym on desktop, voyager on fast phone, boost on slow phone
Using Raccoon for now after having a few issues with voyager. Liking it so far.
Voyager on mobile because it’s open source
And thats it. I don’t use Lemmy on desktop
I respect it
i just started using Interstellar on Android. Really liking it so far.
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
PC, tablet: Browser
Mobile: Boost for Lemmy
I switched to Summit for now, been great
Browser
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.
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.
