Currently using phtn.app for browsing lemmy, though it’s a bit buggy on mobile. V2 will be coming soon so hopefully most bugs will be fixed.
What y’all using?
- Summit for Lemmy
  I was using Sync since the ::: spoiler spoiler reddit ::: exodus and basically moved with it, but it's not been updated for a while so I tried out a few others but was always turned off by their different gestures so I never switched.
  However when I tried out Summit it had the right theming and gestures to be comfortable coming from Sync, along with an excellent unique screenshot tool that I've come to rely on.
  I will try out phtn.app as an alternative on desktop since I don't browse Lemmy much outside of the apps.
- Voyager on android, im perfectly happy with it.
- Jerboa. Tried several and liked it best.
  
  That's the one I like. Or piefeds mobile on Firefox.
- Boost for Lemmy on Android.
- Thunder. I used to use Sync for reddit before, and used it a bit for Lemmy. But I like thunder a bit more.
  I also use Interstellar for mbin.
  
  Interesting. Is mbin the same as kbin or?
  
  From what I understand, it's a fork of kbin. when kbin dev went silent and didn't trust anybody else to help them, a few other devs forked it.
  
  And what do you think of it? What’s the general feeling? I remember being hyped about kbin then there were lots of problems with the site, then dev disappeared.
  
  Idk it doesn't really feel different NGL
  I haven't been using both Lemmy and mbin that long, just lurking mostly
  And for that I don't have any problems
  And the same way I used reddit, both I use for mobile. So apps make or break it. And the choice of Lemmy apps outshine the only app for mbin. Interstellar is good for mbin, but I just like thunder and sync more for myself.
  I picked mbin for the combined threads posting like reddit and microblogging like twitter/masto but have to day I don't try to take advantage of that
  On the other hand I'm looking forward to piefed maturing more. Since they have multireddit / combined topic community feeds
- Firefox
- Self hosted tesseract web UI.

  This one looks sleak af.
- I'm using my web browser (on mobile)! I know I'm not the only one, but that's usually pretty unpopular. I've never been big on social media, but I've never used an app for any of them I have used in the past, including Reddit. Website with ad blockers for me, screw those guys. Here, though, I might give in eventually and try an app...
  
  I also just use the web interface and it is so simple and excellent to use. I will never use an app for this.
  
  Phtn.app is actually a website/selfhosted interface for lemmy. The mobile PWA is a big buggy, but the desktop one works fine.
- Voyager on iOS is great.
  
  I tried it but I have one beef with it: once logged in, my subscribed communities are no longer appearing and i have to resubbscribe to all of them. I did it once on phtn and wouldn't want to do it all over again as I'm hopping around lemmy apps.
  
  Wait, aren't community subscriptions synced with your account?
  
  I thought so, but at least in Voyagger iOS after I logged in I had no subscriptions. I didn't bother to double check for now as I'm quite happy with phtn.
  LE: reinstalled voyager and now I have my subscriptions linked with my account. Looks dope too.
  
  Nice!
- Connect for Lemmy. Super under- rated.
- vger.app
- Tesseract on desktop and mobile.
- I’m using Mlem as I think it looks the best!
  
  Will look on it too, heard about it back in 2023 but never tried it.
- Eternity on phone, Lemmy as a PWA on my tablet and official Lemmy site on my laptop and on desktop.
