So far Jerboa seems like the move, Thunder looks nicer, but it doesn’t seem to play nice with this instance so that’s kind of dead in the water, at least for now.
From what I’ve seen, you can search for individual comments/posts related to a topic (advanced search), send private messages, you can see what’s trending and there are more options for moderators to manage and create communities.
But Jerboa is already good and I prefer the interface over the web app, especially on mobile. The only issue bothering me is table format is broken.
thunder looks cool, but just like jerboa it is in early alpha, they can be a bit unstable, for the time being i’ll personally stick to the web browser.
A common problem to the whole fediverse is that if you are browsing a different instance from where you are registered, you can’t really interact with it. This wouldn’t be a problem if you could interact with the whole fediverse on your instance, but it’s not weird to see warnings like “The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance” or similar.
This means that it’s impossible to interact with older posts that don’t appear on your instance. Am I the only one facing this problem?
Performance and stability can be ironed out. But the UI itself is already really solid. I love the animated comment collapse. This app is gonna be great a few months from now.
Also want an app for kbin, but for the moment it is possible to “install” the web page via the mobile browser.
It will get a separate icon that way and you can put it on your home screen or in a folder. Not perfect, but at least something!
Open kbin in the browser and search your browser menu for the install option. For example, in Firefox it is hidden in the three dot menu.
I put jerboa in the place where I used to have the Sync Pro app mostly just to start coming here out of habit. But a lot of times I end up browsing through chrome because I get a lot of random JSON parse errors in Jerboa. There’s a paid app called Fedilab I’m curious about but it doesn’t seem to work with Lemmy instances yet, I think it’s mostly for Mastodon.
Browser version works surprisingly well on mobile, at least better than Reddit’s browser version which is either completely broken or constantly asking me to install the official reddit app.
I like how thunder looks, but not how I can’t blur nsfw posts. If I’m searching by active in public, I’d better not be seeing straight up lesbian sex on the front page of my feed, unblurred.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
5. Engage respectfully: Harassment, flamebaiting, bad faith engagement, or agenda posting will result in your posts being removed. Excessive violations will result in temporary or permanent ban, depending on severity.
6. Memes are not allowed to be posts, but are allowed in the comments.
7. Posts from clickbait sources are heavily discouraged. Please de-clickbait titles if it needs to be submitted.
8. Submission statements of any length composed of your own thoughts inside the post text field are mandatory for any microblog posts, and are optional but recommended for article/image/video posts.
Use the web app. It works very well.
It keeps loading random posts to the top of the page while I’m scrolling. I know this is a known bug… But the website is basically unusable.
Trying Jerboa right now, don’t like it.
All text fields show as password fields, no dictionary, submitting a comment is slow af.
Android 14 beta 3
Maybe beta is your issue I have none of your issues
Jerboa is getting there, but for now I’d recommend using the progressive web app
What is the benefit of the web app? A genuine question

Jerboa is the way to go

I figure at this point, forget about apps and stick to the website. Good Android apps will come in time.

Jerboa is better than the official web UI at the moment.
I think it’s just Jerboa right now. You could set them up as progressive web apps I think, but I haven’t really looked into it.
Jerboa is actually really fucking good though
Few qurks like loading comments from the last post i looked. Overall much better than web.
Performance and stability can be ironed out. But the UI itself is already really solid. I love the animated comment collapse. This app is gonna be great a few months from now.
It is just Jerboa/Mlem for the time being.
Although it might be nice if Lemmy whips up a lightweight mobile site, like Reddit’s compact. The current one barely runs on my phone.
iOS also has Memmy.
I tried the pwa, no where near as good as using jerboa. Just switched today. So much better on the app.
Just signed up from Kbin to give it ago. Jerboa working nicely.
Kbin hasn’t got an app which really sucks.
Also want an app for kbin, but for the moment it is possible to “install” the web page via the mobile browser.
It will get a separate icon that way and you can put it on your home screen or in a folder. Not perfect, but at least something!
Open kbin in the browser and search your browser menu for the install option. For example, in Firefox it is hidden in the three dot menu.
Nevertheless, I also hope for an app soon.
Jerboa is working great for me so far 👍

I have Fedilab, it does not work with lemmy.
browser. install the website to the desktop. and done
This is the way to go. Go to the website on your phone and press the three dots. Then press install app.

This works pretty well for me. Thank you.
;)

Mlem on iOS is pretty good
I just tried Jerboa and it looks pretty good: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa/
Jerboa is the only actively developed option on Android right now.
That being said, a web wrapper like hermit is nice enough as an interim pick, if jerboa isn’t doing it for you.
