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.
I quite like Connect for Lemmy, it's maturing quickly. Looking forward to Artemis, which should do Lemmy/KBin/Mastodon and who knows what else. For Mastodon I like Tusky.
This might sound crazy, but i am just using the website via Firefox on my phone. Jerboa wasnt doing it for me, and someone recommended just using the website... I prefer it over jerboa. I imagine with all the development going on, there will be something better showing up, but until it does, I'm just going old school.
Jerboa was doing fine for me until Jerboa got updated beyond the Lemmy instances I've been browsing (which aren't updating because the new Lemmy release removes the captcha, which then prevents new sign ups). Now Jerboa says the biggest Lemmy instance is below the minimum version Jerboa supports, and refuses to open the instance. Helluva bump in the road...
Oh god yes please. Thanks for asking! I had the same question! I've been trying to browse lemmy.world on Firefox, but the auto updating feed bug is still killing me...
lemmy.world is waiting for 0.18.1 because 0.18 removed captcha as a consequence of a change away from websocket, i think. they announced they arent going to update until its added back in, which the lemmy developers promised to do.
You swipe the comment to the right and a thing pops up. It's unclear when it is downvoting or upvoting because what it then does doesn't seem to match the one you selected.
You can't. System admin needs to, and they posted that they can't yet because the new version doesn't support captcha yet. They're expecting a fix but have to wait.
I'm the developer of Summit. Unfortunately I don't see anyone mention Summit but I would suggest giving it a try as well.
I think I've been a bit slower to implement certain features compared to the other apps, but the app is heavily focused on scalability and performance. Give it a try just in case you might like it. Play store link: Summit for Lemmy
Is that something you would be open to working towards? Since the growth of Lemmy is attributed to Reddit becoming “closed”, I think many users might see it as a dealbreaker or be less inclined to use a closed-source app.
My feelings towards this might change in the future. However for the time being, my enjoyment of the project hinges on the project being closed source. Ie. open sourcing the project will likely lead to me stepping away from the project. So even if this significantly impacts the number of users, I would still prefer to keep it closed source. I’d rather have a fun side project I made than to create a popular project that I do not contribute to. It is unfortunate but it is what it is.
I’m replying on Connect for Lemmy. I just looked at your app and it’s super dope but I’ve got to say the one thing that throws me off is the button for the link is on the far side from my finger. I also like swiping to reply and vote and nonsense like that and your app doesn’t have it.
Take your time however and implement things well and I’ll keep it in mind. My favorite app for Reddit was Relay I think I will be looking for an app until I get something similar or exactly the same.
Thank you for your feedback! Regarding “button for the link” could you clarify what this is? Are you talking about the link to the community the post was from?
Sorry, I didn’t see this reply until now. I mean the button for whatever the post is linking to. Pictures, other communities, or external links. I’m right handed and the button is on the left. This makes it a big reach for my thumb to reach across my screen and I’m less likely to click on things or use your app because of it. I know it’s a small complaint but it’s all about feel, especially when it comes to apps, that’s why reddit had so many!
I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is my last update included a lot of new customizations including changing the direction of the content. See this demo: www.youtube.com/shorts/8mIVZflUHhU.
The bad news is I submitted this update ~1.5 days ago to Google Play. The app is still in review. I have no idea what is going on since usually updates are reviewed within 1-4 hours. I hope the update will be available soon. You can take a look at my community at lemmy.world/c/summit to see updates about this.
