Same, still has a lot of missing features though. The one thing that would be a major improvement is to be able to open links between communities and threads. It always interprets everything as an email address for some reason. !Ask [email protected]
Give it time. Like one solid day and you will be an expert in no time. Jerboa is nice but it's only in alpha stage. use lemmy on the mobile browser and desktop. you gotta get used to it though first. Just like Reddit when you first started using it
I agree with this. I've been using Jerboa when needed (personally prefer it to the mobile browser), but if I have the option I'm just browsing using my laptop. I'm sure that there is going to be a point where mobile apps like Jerboa are more streamlined, which I look forward to. I've always been a mobile user first and foremost.
Also using Jerboa because it is seemingly the only app that's currently out there for android. I wish one of the 3rd party reddit app devs would bring their app over to lemmy.
It's going to take time because the APIs are different. Someone (I wish I had noted who) was working on an API shim so that they could be added more easily.
I’m trying them both. Mlem crashed a lot my first few days but has been stable so far. Memmy has the swipe actions I loved on Apollo. Really glad to see developers jumping in! If we can get an app that functions half as well as Apollo I can see myself never going back to reddit.
Which is exactly why I'm using the web interface for the time being. There's already bugs with this early build, I don't need to compound them with an additional application layer 😂
Prefer Mlem’s overall look and feel plus it is a bit more well rounded currently (though obviously very early days). However I’ve been having issues with Mlem crashing very, very often so trying out Memmy currently which seems more stable.
100%, there are quite a few nice apps out there and it'll only keep growing but I keep coming back to jerboa for it's functionally, I'm just waiting for "sync for lemmy" (former Reddit client)
But that's not to say the other apps are bad at all
Vyger.app is beautiful
Connect for lemmy (Android) has a great keyword filter
Liftoff (android) is very popular but I can't login with my instance with it for some reason
Thunder for lemmy (android) is very nice and has a good balance of form and function and it's also open source and probably reminds me the most of a solid Reddit client
The main reason I keep coming back to jerboa is because it's very easy to post to any community from the main screen / feed whereas most other apps require you to navigate to the community you want to post to first (a small, but significant difference) and it's also just very reliable and easy to see what's going on at a glance
From another thread I discovered Hermit, an app I didn't know I needed. It will create "lite" apps from any site. I've been creating apps for all of my self hosted apps that are browser based but do not have dedicated mobile apps (whoogle, mealie, invidous, etc.)
Just started using Mlem. It’s still an early beta (so expect missing features and instability), but the interface is very intuitive. Clearly takes inspiration from Apollo so this Nugget approves!
If you don't already know, there are some decent settings built in to kbin. Nothing mind blowing but it did improve my experience. Infinite scroll and rounded edges helped make it look more sleek, imho. I also turned on mag icons. Look for the gear icon to access your settings, on mobile it's all the way at the bottom.
I've got liftoff, jerboa and connect installed. I keep reaching for connect first as its beautifully laid out, puts content first and has just enough framing to separate threads or comments, is improving fast and most of my early pain points are sorted now
