We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.
Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can't make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.
Praying that Infinity for Reddit moved to Lemmy 🙏
This right here. Infinity is/was my go-to. Fingers crossed!
Amen
That would be a amezing! I do really hope some of the third party apps consider moving to Lemmy
It's going to be tough for some communities. Some of the Lemmy devs are literally avowed Communists and that is bound to cause friction.
Maybe for you, but I honestly read that, thought it was interesting, and went on with my life.
I need captlizm to feel not bad 😭 what's a good name for a free market lemmy?

Interesting. I'm using Jerboa right now and while I have a few complaints, scrolling speed isn't one of them. I wonder if it's a phone specific issue.
the only shrinking issue I have is, when there are images in the comments - then it flickers all the time
I am having the same issue (Pixel 6) but a propose fix is underway.
Same here, scrolling is fine for me (Pixel 6 Pro in case it matters).
Right now I'm just using the web interface on mobile - selfhosted though so I got to change the theme to dark.
I just use a dark reader extension on the browser.
Dark Reader made Firefox on Android so unbelievably slow for me that I disabled it out of frustration, and have just been blinding myself rather than waiting 10+ seconds for Firefox to load sites that Chrome loaded near instantly.
ehhh I don't use firefox tho I use Kiwi Browser with dark reader extension. It works very very fast.
I would use firefox but firefox is kinda slow on my phone and I dislike slow.
TIL about Kiwi Browser, thanks for this, I think I could like this a lot. Firefox's mobile extension support is extremely limited, so this is a breath of fresh air.
The only warning I can give you cuz it bothers some people around me is that it's centralized and closed source. It's also not privacy oriented. Other than that I like it more than Firefox in all respects.
That's not my favourite, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I used Chrome for a long time on desktop. Thanks for the info, though! I'm going to give it a shot for a few days, and see if I can live without tab syncing.
I love that they have bottom URL bar as an option though! One of my favourite additions to Firefox Mobile. Will make the switch a whole lot more comfortable. Thanks, god! 😂
live without tab syncing.
Hmm. I just message things to my Telegram "Saved Messages" and copy them on phone and viceversa. Then again I haven't ever been able to rely on Firefox tab sync cuz it was buggy when i switched to kiwi, if it's better now idk how much better it is than my method. Anyway I have tested Firefox recently for a few things I do like reading novels and Kiwi works much better for the same purpose today.
i.e. when firefox loses cache it kills a tab and it takes several seconds, like 6, to reload it, and it's not as pleasant as the kiwi experience, which although it does kill inactive tabs to save memory/battery, it reloads them much faster and efficiently than firefox.
anyway i wish you good luck in your experiments and if you remember lmk what u decide in the end.
I've been using Kiwi as my daily driver on Android since, and I must say, I'm a big fan! Being able to have any extension has been fantastic. The biggest thing I'm missing from Firefox, is the integrated reader mode button. Trying to read any article on the modern Internet, without a reader mode, is an absolute nightmare. I've been using Article Reader, and Google's Android-wide Reader view app as replacements, as I couldn't find a Chrome extension that worked well enough in Kiwi, and while they're not nearly as seamless, they've served their purpose. Thanks again for the rec!
It's more about how there doesn't seem to be any scrolling inertia like I'm use to with other apps. When I scroll real fast, it should continue scrolling for a few seconds instead of immediately stopping.
The dev from RedReader wants to integrate support for Lemmy.
RedReader is a fantastic app. I hope the dev works it out.
I'm using jerboa right now, agreeded. It's not the worst experience but there's definitely improvements to be made.
There's a real opportunity in transitioning existing reddit clients to access Lemmy instead. Keep the user base, change the platform.
Mlem for iOS is a beta still in early development but it’s buttery smooth on my phone. If the dev sees this, I appreciate your work a lot!
Seconding Mlem! I’m still getting used to how this app works, but I like it so far!
Tbh I prefer just good old firefox browser over jerboa. The site is optimized pretty well for mobile
I've had little to complain about with using the Firefox android app to browse Lemmy instances.
I would like to start using Jerboa, I haven't noticed any performance issues but I find I like the browser UI a bit better.
I know Jerboa is in heavy development right now. My god do I feel bad for the dev, Dessalines, with the huge influx of users. But I'm sure I'll switch to using the app more as the updates role out.
I use the website for mobile, and it works really well
The problem is that even though you and me are ok with not having an app, most people need an app 🤷
