I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open
You must log in or register to comment.
I want the Infinity reddit dev to make a client here. That app is amazing

I go back and forth between Jerboa and PWA (from Chromium). I find both missing features I really like, but that just might be from the features to which I got accustomed from Slide and Infinity and not features that are must-haves. On Jerboa, the most annoying thing to me is during commenting, where the cursor jumps to somewhere else in the paragraph and deletes a word. It’s very annoying. I thought it was my keyboard, so I switched, but nope. Maybe an incompatibility with autocorrect features. Whatever. Lemmy is still growing up, while Reddit is 18.

Same
Its eternity now! Damn they fixed the bugs, somehow made the UI fresher and its now seemingly the best!
Lets see, maybe some bugs will appear
Jerboa is what I use
Is there an api for developers?
This is a cop out answer. I tried Jerboa but wasn’t a big fan. That may change in the future. But I feel currently the best way to experience Lemmy on your phone is to do the following:
- Install the firefox app from the app store
- Go to your Lemmy instance on firefox
- press the 3 dots (where you can view bookmarks, history, etc) and click on “Add to Home screen”
When you click on the Lemmy icon that’s added to your home screen on your phone, it will open up the Lemmy web app (seperate from the firefox browser). It works super nice on mobile from my experience so far, and has a sleek design.
After trying jerboa I ended up going this route. I keep getting server errors using the pwa though not sure if lemmy.ml just can’t handle the traffic or I’m doing something wrong

Jerboa on Android, Mlem on iOS (as they are both the only options for now)
I tried Jerboa and it always crashes a few second after opening it. Web app for me, I guess.
For me, I find writing comments on Jebora is buggy. If you mistype, then hit backspace to delete, it removes the space between the last two words.
Maybe that’s a feature for Germans to combine words, I dunno, but it means you have to do a lot of additional manual editing.
It’s on their bug tracker. Apparently an issue with all apps using the Jetpack-Compose toolkit (the recommended way of building new Android apps): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/194
Just had the same issue while typing up a post of my own, glad I’m not the only one haha
Yeah I’ve noticed this as well, if it is a feature for some people it would be nice if there was an easy visible setting to turn it off
Sense I know it happens though it’s not the biggest deal, just mildly annoying sometimes
Hah I was mostly joking with the “feature for Germans” thing.
It’s not a feature but a bug, it’s on their bug tracker. Apparently an issue with all apps using the Jetpack-Compose toolkit (the recommended way of building new Android apps): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/194
Jeeboa is great, I’ve been using it and I quite like it.
Jerboa kinda sucks imo, there is no search feature as of yet. Sometimes it also logs me out of my account, however, it is stable so far so it has that going for it.
It isn’t quite there yet, but I think it does have the potential to become a solid app.
Actually i use the progressive web app on mobile and that works like a charm! Unlike Reddit, Lemmys Webinterface is quiet nice. Nevertheless I would love to see some of Reddits 3rd party clients to switch to Lemmy! Like Invidious 🤩
Here’s something that I don’t understand on Lemmy when using the web: whenever I visit a community hosted on a different Lemmy instance, I’m not logged in and can’t subscribe. That appears to be only working in the app (Jerboa).
I think I’m missing something fundamental here, because it’s probably not intended to have dozens of accounts – one at each instance.
that is a downside of the web-version. However you can enter the link in the search bar of end search for the link on your instance.
