Browser, wefwef. Former Apollo user very happy with this interface.
Im using Alexandrite on desktop und Liftoff on mobile. Liftoff is great, I don't really miss much from the famous reddit apps.
web browser on desktop, but if synclemmy is going to be as hot as reddit syncreddit, then mobile usage will jump.
Waiting for Boost
I've been hopping around between the different Android apps and PWAs however, I always seem to come back to Voyager (wefwef). My primary app on Reddit was sync and hope to return to it if it functions as it did on the other site. If not, I am enjoying Connect and Jerboa. Thunder, Summit, and Liftoff have small things I would like to see tweaked and/or they have minor bugs that they are still ironing out, but I am not yet sold on a specific app yet until we get further down the road.
App, funny enough never been here on the pc.
browser.
Currently using CONNECT on the phone and browser on PC. More or less exactly the way I used to browse reddit really
I'm suffering through Jerboa, heavily anticipating Sync since it'll change everything for me
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.

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 just recently started using the app Thunder, but also old.lemmy.world as well. Feel almost at home until Sync is released.
I'm not a smartphone guy. I use a browser version on my laptop.
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.
Browser on on PC. On mobile, Connect or Lift-off; can't really tell the differences yet.
wefwef and safari
Browser. Waiting for Sync!
Liftoff
Liftoff on Android and Memmy on IOS. I prefer Liftoff.
liftoff
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.

Mostly liftoff (now), sometimes browser.
App. I like it so far.
Which app?
Memmy is nailing it for me. Brand new app and itβs already super smooth, intuitive and functional. Experience is close enough to Apollo that Iβm now fully onboard the Lemmy train.

Cycling between Voyager, Jerboa and Thunder. Still have to try Sync
App Memmy = image handeling is a bit buggy. Web wefwef/Voyager = has a freezing issue.
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.
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.
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.
Thunder
Kbin with PWA. Happy enough with that but interested to see what happens with the Artemis app as well
Voyager or Memmy on mobile. Regular Lemmy on desktop.
Primarily Memmy for iOS.
Voyager is nice too though on iOS. Connect on Android is nice also.
