browser on pc, app on phone
I use Native Alpha to avoid apps on mobile
Edit: misspelling
Jerboa on Android is pretty solid imo
Happy with Jerboa so far. Excited for Sync to come back as a Lemmy app.
Try connect as well, made the switch yesterday and already loving the new features
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.
Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I’m waiting Sync for lemmy.
In the meantime I’ll be using liftoff. Seem like it’s pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.
Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It’s awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.
it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.
Connect, feels closes to boost. Until we have boost
It will come out. It’s currently available to pre-register.
What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.
On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome… Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.
What exactly is the problem with browser. Do people just have a high expectation of a platform, or am I just too used to the browser experience?
I think it may be down to the UI, for example I preferred Relay for Reddit over the other offerings because the UI just felt more natural to me and that of course always going to be down to the individual user
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 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!
The gamechanging functionality for me was being able to log in. Mobile, desktop, whatever. I click login, use my credentials, it says “logged in” and then asks me to log in again and warns down the right side of the website that I’m not logged in.
Using an app, I can actually log the fuck in.
That’s fair. I’m definitely having to log in every couple days.
But I’m also not on Lemmy as often / continuously as I was on reddit. That’s been a nice change for me.
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll and a more usable layout. The website works ok, but there’s lots of room for improvement.
All the stuff at the top on lemmy web page gets turned into buttons on the top and bottom of my phone that I don’t have to scroll up for. Vote buttons are big enough to hit easily. Titles flow on top of Images so I see more than a thumbnail without tapping.
In my experience (large asterisk there), infinite scroll is great until you click a link, then hit back, and it doesn’t resume where you were before so then you have to keep scrolling to get back to where you were before. Maybe the infinite scroll experience is better now than it was in the dark ages of new.reddit.
Pagination just never really bugged me? It gives me a stopping point.
But… I am on IOS
Sad wall garden noises…
Laughs in jailbreak
When I used the web version of Lemmy, I wasn’t able to find the subscribe button for communities.
You tap the “side bar” text to expand it and you have a subscribe button.
The best UX doesn’t need to be explained
I haven’t dove into the Android app options and honestly, as an Android developer, I might just make my own.
Posting from Thunder from Android, loving it!
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.
the problem is mobile, using browser there sucks
DuckDuckGo is magical.
