I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open
I go back and forth between Jerboa and PWA (from Chromium). I find both missing features I really like, but that just might be from the features to which I got accustomed from Slide and Infinity and not features that are must-haves. On Jerboa, the most annoying thing to me is during commenting, where the cursor jumps to somewhere else in the paragraph and deletes a word. It’s very annoying. I thought it was my keyboard, so I switched, but nope. Maybe an incompatibility with autocorrect features. Whatever. Lemmy is still growing up, while Reddit is 18.

Jerboa on Android, Mlem on iOS (as they are both the only options for now)
Just trying Jerboa out now. UI buttons are too small and sometimes difficult to see.
Can’t hide post replies.
Other than that, seems okay so far.
Edit: Basically I want it to be Infinity for Lemmy.
I tried Jerboa and it always crashes a few second after opening it. Web app for me, I guess.
For me, I find writing comments on Jebora is buggy. If you mistype, then hit backspace to delete, it removes the space between the last two words.
Maybe that’s a feature for Germans to combine words, I dunno, but it means you have to do a lot of additional manual editing.
Just had the same issue while typing up a post of my own, glad I’m not the only one haha
It’s on their bug tracker. Apparently an issue with all apps using the Jetpack-Compose toolkit (the recommended way of building new Android apps): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/194

Hah I was mostly joking with the “feature for Germans” thing.
It’s not a feature but a bug, it’s on their bug tracker. Apparently an issue with all apps using the Jetpack-Compose toolkit (the recommended way of building new Android apps): https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/194

Same
I want the Infinity reddit dev to make a client here. That app is amazing
@MyNameIsIgglePiggle I might actually try making a Lemmy client myself. It could help me learn Android development better than whatever my uni is doing.
Jerboa is what I use
I’m using Jeroba but i can’t seem to post replies to comments outside of the instance I registered on. My understanding is this isn’t how it’s supposed to work?
edit: huh, ok, this worked, so I must have done something different…
I think there’s just been a lot of growing pains with beehaw and lemmy.ml seeing way more traffic from new users. Their servers are going down under the load and that results in weird errors in the clients and web, and I’m assuming federation issues too.
I am an Android user so it’s definitely going to be Jerboa for me.
I’m hoping to improve my Jetpack Compose skills so I can contribute more to its development as well :)
Is there an api for developers?
Its eternity now! Damn they fixed the bugs, somehow made the UI fresher and its now seemingly the best!
Lets see, maybe some bugs will appear

This is a cop out answer. I tried Jerboa but wasn’t a big fan. That may change in the future. But I feel currently the best way to experience Lemmy on your phone is to do the following:
- Install the firefox app from the app store
- Go to your Lemmy instance on firefox
- press the 3 dots (where you can view bookmarks, history, etc) and click on “Add to Home screen”
When you click on the Lemmy icon that’s added to your home screen on your phone, it will open up the Lemmy web app (seperate from the firefox browser). It works super nice on mobile from my experience so far, and has a sleek design.
After trying jerboa I ended up going this route. I keep getting server errors using the pwa though not sure if lemmy.ml just can’t handle the traffic or I’m doing something wrong
Jeeboa is great, I’ve been using it and I quite like it.
Jerboa kinda sucks imo, there is no search feature as of yet. Sometimes it also logs me out of my account, however, it is stable so far so it has that going for it.
It isn’t quite there yet, but I think it does have the potential to become a solid app.
