I'm feeling pretty good about Lemmy, honestly. I wasn't sure how I was going to fill my downtime, but this and mastodon may just pan out for me
Itβs still hard to transition ! Especially with a lack of good apps on mobile (at least iOS). Itβs only the beginning
PS : Itβs my first comment on Lemmy (yay!)
Iβm using mlem right now (you need to TestFlight it), and while being rough around the edges, itβs got potential, and itβs already better than the mobile web ui of Lemmy
Are you using Mlem on iOS? I keep switching back and forth between the mobile site and mlem. Not sure which I like better at the moment.
I finally got Mlem to work after fighting the iOS updater all night, and it's honestly much nicer to use than the web interface. It feels extremely reminiscent of Apollo for Reddit.
Have you tried using the mobile site? App selection on Android isn't the best but the mobile site is actually pretty good.
Jerboa on Android seems pretty easy to use so far.
Yeah! I'm still new to everything here, but nothing has yet broken to the point of un-usability. That's more than I can say for the official Reddit app. Lol.
Same here. If I can't use a 3rd party app to smooth over Reddit's shit-filled cracks then I'm done with it. Jerboa seems ok so far. I've also signed up for a Mastodon account, awaiting approval, so I may end up using Fedilab
You'll have to find me again sometime to let me know how Mastodon works for you! I've considered it, but I was never really that big into social media, except for Reddit. Twitter was never appealing to me, so I guess I may have some bias there, but at the same time I'd like to get more involved with the fediverse as a whole.
Best of luck to you!
Except for the constant pestering to use the app that has been going on since about September last year. It's why I went to Relay
It is, and I'm thinking about using it via the app Hermit - it's really just a wrapper for the site, but it gives you a bit more of an app-like experience (its own icon, a customisable sidebar, various visual customisations).
I already use it for a football forum I frequent, and honestly I sometimes forget that it's not a native app.
I'm writing this on Jerboa, and it's pretty good, but I'm going to see if Hermit can match or better it.
EDIT - Just to add to this - since I posted I've discovered there's an update to Jerboa and it's already looking like quite an improvement.
Hello from Hermit. It works amazingly well, I'm liking it better than Jerboa
Nice one! I've not yet really tried it for Lemmy, Jerboa's still doing the job for me, but I will do at some point. Glad it's working out for you :-)
Exactly. Reddit had the most comprehensive and fleshed out (third party) apps of any other similar platform that I know of. But with the exodus, I'm really hoping we can all breathe some life into some of the apps that we do have access to that weren't getting as much attention
