I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

I deleted my Reddit app and replaced it with Jerboa just recently and I think it's for the best.

Is Jerboa the app for this platform? (I'm new here and still figuring everything out).

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, Jerboa is an android app for Lemmy instances.

Since you're new, also check out kbin which is similar to Lemmy but with some other features. You can still access the same content (I'm responding to you from kbin), and has some access to the microblogging sites as well. You might like it, you might not. But there are so many options in the fediverse you may as well explore for a while.

I'm also using kbin right now, but from the mobile site. I'm super new (this is my first ever comment!). Can I use Jerboa for kbin too or do I have to use a kbin specific app?

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I believe Jerboa is only for Lemmy. There is an official app in the works, but I'm not familiar with an alternative app yet at the moment. That said, you can use it on mobile as a PWA and it works pretty well.
