Firefox + uBlock Origin > Apps

the problem is mobile, using browser there sucks

I’m using memmy on iOS, it’s still on TestFlight: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy (click on “join the group”)

browser on pc, app on phone

Jerboa on Android is pretty solid imo

Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps

Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It's fanatastic. It's far, far better than a browser experience as well.

What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.

I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo

When your Phones 1.5GB of RAM are always 1.3GB full and your CPU almost always at 100%, because you are running Android 11 (LineageOS) on a Phone from almost 10 years ago, then Jerboa starts to be quite a bit faster than Fennec (especially with uBlock₀)

Connect, feels closes to boost. Until we have boost

I use wefwef.app/Voyager on FF. I don't believe ublock does anything though since its not an Ad based service

On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome... Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.

The stock interface is garbage though. Need them apps to streamline the experience.

FTFY

My personal preference is to use (preferably FLOSS) apps whenever possible. I just don't like the experience of a browser trying to act like a native application. This goes for desktop and mobile.

It'll never happen, but if there were a desktop lemmy app I would use it.

I know I'm (probably?) weird.

I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!

Unless there's some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I'm fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the "no ads" experience.

I didn't use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!

When I used the web version of Lemmy, I wasn't able to find the subscribe button for communities.

Yup, mobile Firefox runs beautifully and has all the features of the desktop version. I don't see a reason to get an app tbh.

I'm still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol

I mostly browse on desktop, but wasn't a big fan of the main site, so I made my own one called Alexandrite that I think is more convenient to use. I use Voyager on my phone and I'm excited for Sync to release.

If anyone's curious here's one of my announcement posts, and another that includes mod tools.

Posting from Thunder from Android, loving it!

I haven't dove into the Android app options and honestly, as an Android developer, I might just make my own.

I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.

I want features the web UI doesn't have, like an inage viewer with zoom gestures and a direct file share button.

Thunder has that, and as a foss app I will be able to add more stuff that I want, like easy toggling or dismissing of read posts, and more.

That's the beauty of lemmy and other open protocols, you can experience it however you like. If you prefer the stock web experience, it's there, if you prefer an alternative web experience, it's there, if you prefer an app, there are several to choose from. If you don't like any of that, you can even spend some time and make your own crazy thing.

I use voyager on android lol

The trick for me has been diversification. Firefox replaced RIF.

kbin on iOS is my ‘app’ of choice, at least thus far.

Brave Browser + uBlock Origin (for PC) Jerboa (for Mobile)

On iOS Memmy is a really good app given how new it is. Just found out about Bean which is really impressive for just entering TestFlight.

@dumbfox@lemmy.ml test

I mean, you don't really need any addons if you're using the lemmy web, so I'd recommend going with addon-less bromite or "Webapps" from F-droid so u get better performance
