What is everyone's favorite Android app for Lemmy?
Apologies if this has already been asked, I'm very new here and still learning everything.
I am (was...) an RIF user on reddit. I just found Jerboa For Lemmy today and so far it feels somewhat intuitive coming from RIF. It seems like a decent app so far in the handful of hours I've been toying with it. But I would love to hear what others are currently using for Android.
Ive been using boost for reddit for a long time. Jerboa is neat but imo not yet sufficient for daily use. Its a new app, development takes time.
Currently to use lemmy I am using Brave browser on Android and using my instance's website. This seems to be the most robust option available at the moment.
I'm a fellow booster using Jerboa. It's pretty barebones but it works so far! My only issue is I can't figure out how to community search (or search at all). I just switch to the browser, find what I need, then switch back. A little clunky but it's new!
If you go to the home screen and pick the community button (it's the second item from the left on the bottom and looks like a list) you should be able to search for any community that is indexed by your host instance.
Fellow booster! I am going to miss that app :(( I haven't been able to get jerboa to work totally correct, so I've also just been browsing on the website (on my phone)
I know 😔 I cant believe it honestly. Its been a daily use app for me ever since I started browsing reddit on my phone. Originally I got it because there was no official app, but over the years I've gotten so comfy with it. I really hope jerboa comes around, or we can plug lemmy into boost which we may actually be able to do, but for now the standard lemmy browsing interface is actually shockingly good on mobile.
Jerboa works fine but if anyone else is Lemmying on multiple accounts like I am, fyi it's very clunky for that (which is fine, it's not a common use-case). In that situation, installing your various home instances as apps works much better.
You probably noticed when you were messing around with Jerboa, but you can decrease font size in the Look and Feel settings. I found the app unusable until I did that.
The default font size on the thread overview page is okay, but when you enter a thread it is way too large. When you decrease the font size, the fonts on the overview page become way too small.
I don't know why they are so different and why they are even connected in the settings.
