What Android app should I use to browse Lemmy?
I'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.
I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.
You're viewing a single thread.
Jerboa if you're on Android but it has a login issue that makes it unable to connect to instances that are still running the 0.17.4 version of the backend (and among them is lemmy.world). You'd have to wait for those instances to update to the 0.18.1 when it comes out before you can use Jerboa reliably.
Meanwhile, you can just open the web UI in your mobile browser and it will work just fine.
You can also use the previous version of Jerboa.
this is a great answer actually, the 0.0.34 is still very good
I had to uninstall 0.35 before it would let me install 0.34, but otherwise that is an excellent solution.
Only thing I didn't like was no ability to reply from inbox but I totally forgot about the inbox at this point so I guess it's not that important lol
The Connect for Lemmy Android app works pretty well too.
Doesn't work at all for me on a Fold 4. Crashes as soon as I attempt to open the app
I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know what to recommend for a Fold. I use Pixel phones and have been fortunate with compatibility with Jerboa and Connect, but it's hit and miss. I've seen a lot of other users complain about issues with Jerboa even before the server version issue, but it's been working great for me.
I'm on a Fold 4 using Jerboa and it's pretty decent.
Although I'm all in on Sync as soon as it's available.
Got a link? Not seeing it in F-Driod nor the (ugh) Play Store.
- Edit Nvm. It was right under an ad, I'm so hardwired to just ignore ads.
Sorry, no F-Droid link, but here's the Play store link:
