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.
Voyager. It feels good.
Web browser.
Voyager has been great. No notifications is a plus. Haha
Mlem - in active development and the dev’s are very responsive as far as new feature
Mlem, ios only?
Yes, iOS only.
The offical Jerboa client is great.
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.
mlmym on desktop, voyager on fast phone, boost on slow phone
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
Using raccoon for now after having a few issues with voyager. Liking it so far.
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 switched to Summit for now, been great
I use the browser while on PC and Voyager with Lemmy 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
