I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open

Jerboa on Android, Mlem on iOS (as they are both the only options for now)
I’m now typing this to you from jerboa!
👋
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.
Just had the same issue while typing up a post of my own, glad I’m not the only one haha

Hah I was mostly joking with the “feature for Germans” thing.
Hmm… Mlem isn’t available on the CA App Store yet, it appears. Web app it is for now.
Yeah only on testflight currently
currently mlem just straight up doesn’t work for me. infinite loading, does login though.
Have you subscribed to something? Default filter is subscriptions, you can change in on top. Confused me at first.
oh!!! thank you, I see now. oh what an interesting interface, having full text lol. time to look around.
Haha I had the same brain fart for a minute too. Then i realized it was trying to infinitely load my non existent subscriptions.
I want the Infinity reddit dev to make a client here. That app is amazing
Kinda an odd answer since it doesn’t exist yet, but the RedReader dev is considering a Lemmy version once Reddit kills third-party apps at the end of the month. That would be neat to see.
Oh damn, that would be really cool
Been using Jerboa for Lemmy on Android. No complaints so far. But its early.
Edit: misspelled the app name
Same here. Only complaint so far is I haven’t seen a way to adjust the font yet. I don’t like the default one. Seems a bit too big for me.
On the main screen open the menu top left, settings, look and feel. You can scale the font size down. Agreed the default was just a hair too big.
It does, it is also early. Hopefully it stays updated!
Same. I like that it’s on F-Droid too
Same here. It can definitely be better, but it works for now. No errors so far.
Edit: and just like that it suddenly threw an error. Lol.
It’s no reddit is fun (I miss my AMOLED background and simple interface that made navigating quoting linking and collapsing comment threads all such a breeze), but a) it’s better than any app I’ve ever made (I’ve never made an app), b) it will get better, c) I’ll get better at using it (I’m maybe 10 minutes in so far)
I completely agree. I use Joey myself (no particular reason - I just got pretty confortable with it). My only problem now is I keep getting timeouts. It could be my connection, though.
Alternatively, you can use Lemmy progressive webapp (PWA) installed from your favourite browser. But as already stated, as of now, there are currently only Jerboa, Mlem and this webapp.
The webapp is how I do it right now using hermit.
I’m doing this with Firefox for Android. Since Lemmy doesn’t have any advertising or other anti-features, I don’t feel any pressing need for a third-party client.

On fdroid, which imo should be the main place if not only one people get their apps from, you can also find lemmur, I don’t know if it’s good though.

Nah don’t, I realized after posting that it has not being maintained for a loooong time.

Jerboa was crashing on most actions for me, but the newest alpha on GitHub has significantly improved the experience.

Yeah, I’ve been bouncing between this and the PWA. Might be time to brush up on my git skills and start making PRs for Jerboa.
Jeeboa is great, I’ve been using it and I quite like it.
I’ve been using Jerboa on Android for a couple days and so far I’m pretty happy with it.
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.
Jerboa at the moment, I’m hoping slide gets ported over to lemmy.
It would need to be forked, because I believe Slide was abandoned.
I’m new to Lemmy as of today but I posted a similar post and it seems that for Android there’s really only Jerboa for Lemmy and perhaps nothing for iOS. I’d love for someone to tell me I’m woefully ignorant, though!
For iOS there ist Mlem in development and available on TestFlight
I’ll give it a go. I know I can make an icon to the web browser shortcut on my home screen but the less friction I have to replacing boost the more i will use it
I’m on Android and have been using Jeroba but it’s super glitchy. I really hope BaconReader makes an app for Lemmy (someone on reddit suggested it should be called LemonReader and I am all about that suggestion lol).
Jerboa is annoyingly laggy on my phone
Jerboa is what I use
I’m using Jeroba but i can’t seem to post replies to comments outside of the instance I registered on. My understanding is this isn’t how it’s supposed to work?
edit: huh, ok, this worked, so I must have done something different…
I think there’s just been a lot of growing pains with beehaw and lemmy.ml seeing way more traffic from new users. Their servers are going down under the load and that results in weird errors in the clients and web, and I’m assuming federation issues too.
Trick question, you don’t need one for Lemmy since their website is actually functional :)
Jeroba works, lemmur won’t log in for some reason
Lemmur is discontinued
That’s a shame because it already looks better than the Jerboa app and has a better name.
Oh, that’s why I couldn’t get it to work
Mlem has potential.
A lot of work to be done. Crashes often, upvote button doesn’t always work for me, my favorited communities don’t stick at the top, no alerts, and not sure how to check my last comments or posts.
