I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open
You must log in or register to comment.
I want the Infinity reddit dev to make a client here. That app is amazing
Jerboa on Android, Mlem on iOS (as they are both the only options for now)
I’m now typing this to you from jerboa!
👋
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

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

Hmm… Mlem isn’t available on the CA App Store yet, it appears. Web app it is for now.
Yeah only on testflight currently
currently mlem just straight up doesn’t work for me. infinite loading, does login though.
Have you subscribed to something? Default filter is subscriptions, you can change in on top. Confused me at first.
oh!!! thank you, I see now. oh what an interesting interface, having full text lol. time to look around.
Haha I had the same brain fart for a minute too. Then i realized it was trying to infinitely load my non existent subscriptions.
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 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 :)
Yeah this is what I’ve been doing, have made a few simple PRs already to enhance the themes a bit! Never worked with Jetpack Compose before, but Google sure does the trick.
Make sure you grab the latest beta of Android Studio (not the default stable one it suggests), and connect your Github account once it’s installed. The emulator works really well for testing, no phone needed. Makes it super quick to get up and running and start submitting fixes.

I’m definitely more accustomed to running the beta branch of Studio (especially now, as it contains the New UI from IntelliJ which I got used to a bit ago haha)!
I’m doing the same thing. I haven’t written kotlin or jetpack compose code before, but I was able to fix a minor bug that affected pre-login. Hopefully I’ll be able to find ways to contribute more.
Kinda an odd answer since it doesn’t exist yet, but the RedReader dev is considering a Lemmy version once Reddit kills third-party apps at the end of the month. That would be neat to see.
Oh damn, that would be really cool
Been using Jerboa for Lemmy on Android. No complaints so far. But its early.
Edit: misspelled the app name
Same. I like that it’s on F-Droid too
Same here. Only complaint so far is I haven’t seen a way to adjust the font yet. I don’t like the default one. Seems a bit too big for me.
It does, it is also early. Hopefully it stays updated!
Same here. It can definitely be better, but it works for now. No errors so far.
Edit: and just like that it suddenly threw an error. Lol.
It’s no reddit is fun (I miss my AMOLED background and simple interface that made navigating quoting linking and collapsing comment threads all such a breeze), but a) it’s better than any app I’ve ever made (I’ve never made an app), b) it will get better, c) I’ll get better at using it (I’m maybe 10 minutes in so far)
I completely agree. I use Joey myself (no particular reason - I just got pretty confortable with it). My only problem now is I keep getting timeouts. It could be my connection, though.

On fdroid, which imo should be the main place if not only one people get their apps from, you can also find lemmur, I don’t know if it’s good though.

Nah don’t, I realized after posting that it has not being maintained for a loooong time.

Jerboa was crashing on most actions for me, but the newest alpha on GitHub has significantly improved the experience.

Yeah, I’ve been bouncing between this and the PWA. Might be time to brush up on my git skills and start making PRs for Jerboa.
Alternatively, you can use Lemmy progressive webapp (PWA) installed from your favourite browser. But as already stated, as of now, there are currently only Jerboa, Mlem and this webapp.
The webapp is how I do it right now using hermit.
I’m doing this with Firefox for Android. Since Lemmy doesn’t have any advertising or other anti-features, I don’t feel any pressing need for a third-party client.
Jeeboa is great, I’ve been using it and I quite like it.
I’ve been using Jerboa on Android for a couple days and so far I’m pretty happy with it.
I’m on Android and have been using Jeroba but it’s super glitchy. I really hope BaconReader makes an app for Lemmy (someone on reddit suggested it should be called LemonReader and I am all about that suggestion lol).
Jerboa is annoyingly laggy on my phone
Jerboa at the moment, I’m hoping slide gets ported over to lemmy.
It would need to be forked, because I believe Slide was abandoned.
Trick question, you don’t need one for Lemmy since their website is actually functional :)
Jeroba works, lemmur won’t log in for some reason
Lemmur is discontinued
That’s a shame because it already looks better than the Jerboa app and has a better name.
Oh, that’s why I couldn’t get it to work
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
I was having some issues with that server earlier. Opened an account on Lemmy.one and i’ve not had any more issues. They’re just overloaded it seems. Exciting times eh?
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’m new to Lemmy as of today but I posted a similar post and it seems that for Android there’s really only Jerboa for Lemmy and perhaps nothing for iOS. I’d love for someone to tell me I’m woefully ignorant, though!
For iOS there ist Mlem in development and available on TestFlight
I’ll give it a go. I know I can make an icon to the web browser shortcut on my home screen but the less friction I have to replacing boost the more i will use it
