I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open

    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.

      Just trying Jerboa out now. UI buttons are too small and sometimes difficult to see.

      Can’t hide post replies.

      Other than that, seems okay so far.

      Edit: Basically I want it to be Infinity for Lemmy.

    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

    I am an Android user so it’s definitely going to be Jerboa for me.

    I’m hoping to improve my Jetpack Compose skills so I can contribute more to its development as well :)

    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.

    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:

    1. Install the firefox app from the app store
    2. Go to your Lemmy instance on firefox
    3. 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 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.
