Currently using CONNECT on the phone and browser on PC. More or less exactly the way I used to browse reddit really

I have jerboa installed but it was buggy so I mostly use a browser (Vivaldi)
Im using Alexandrite on desktop und Liftoff on mobile. Liftoff is great, I don't really miss much from the famous reddit apps.
Thunder
Liftoff on mobile. Don't get to sit at a PC for web browsing much. If sync feels like it did on reddit. I will switch to that and customize it exactly how I want it again.
Same here. Liftoff does what I need it to do for the time-being, but will be switching to sync whenever it is ready to go
App, funny enough never been here on the pc.
I'm suffering through Jerboa, heavily anticipating Sync since it'll change everything for me
Voyager
Waiting for Boost
web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
Browser on on PC. On mobile, Connect or Lift-off; can't really tell the differences yet.
Mostly liftoff (now), sometimes browser.
Browser. So far I haven't found an app that is user friendly, allows me to switch accounts, and doesn't log me out every 30 minutes.
I'm not a smartphone guy. I use a browser version on my laptop.
Browser. Waiting for Sync!

I just recently started using the app Thunder, but also old.lemmy.world as well. Feel almost at home until Sync is released.
I was using Jerboa because i was used to Sync for reddit. But, I got a bit tired of how rough around the edges it is, so I switched to just installing my Lemmy instance front page as Firefox "app" on my phone and realized it's not that bad as a UI, so sticking with it for now.
I'll probably try apps again in the future but I feel more open to "installing" good web apps now. Incidentally I tried the same trick with Reddit's mobile interface after Sync stopped working and realized it's also not so awful as I remembered. I did prefer Sync but I'll see how it goes with this method. So it's mobile web interfaces on Android for me for now.
Having said that, in both cases I think I'd prefer a more "simple HTML" type experience like old reddit over these dynamic SPA things they both have going.
Liftoff
Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.
browser.
Desktop browser on PC or tablet with multiple Lemmy instances pinned. I get different flavors of lemmy based on subscription. Also wefwef.app and old.lemmy. iOS Mlem and Memmy apps on phone.
Firefox when I'm at my PC, and when I'm relaxing I switch between Connect on Android or Memmy on my iPad.
Voyager for the time being.
It's a PWA.
Both, I guess, technically.
I have been using Voyager for lemmy.world. which is a progressive web app you can install to your phones homescreen. It is still is using the browsers engine for javascript, but it behaves as if it was a mobile app.
I may be new to the fediverse, but Iβve found kbin more visually pleasing than native lemmy website. Thatβs on desktop, on mobile, since thereβs no native kbin app yet, Iβve added kbin as a WebApp to my Home Screen. Iβve heard good thing about Liftoff too.
Connect for the time being, its not bad at all, I'll feel a little bad leaving it for Sync
Kbin with PWA. Happy enough with that but interested to see what happens with the Artemis app as well
Thunder
I keep going back and forth between Voyager (buggy) and Memmy (missing features).
If scrolling was fixed (iOS) and images stopped partially loading in Voyager, I would stick with that.
If Memmy supported favorites (without subscribing to a community), then I'd probably stick with that.
I am writing this on Connect. Mostly works, but about one in 5 comments fails due to "wrong language". I haven't yet found any option of even setting comment language, so I guess it's autodetecting and failing at that.
I also miss Sync's filtering capabilities.
