I would love it if Christian would make a Lemmy client. The idea and technology powering Lemmy is great, but it desperately needs a client with a user centered design.
Jerboa ftw! Currently using it, completely deleted my reddit account and uninstalled Infinity. I was already considering doing it before this whole situation appeared, but the double down by spez was the last straw for me
I use it on Android via FDroid, where you have to install Fdroid via APK download from their website. You will have to allow installing apps from your browser. Then, after installing FDroid, you’ll need to find jerboa there and install it (and allow installing apps from FDroid again as well). And Google’s dumbass play protect will also complain, so you’ll have to disable that, too.
Not sure if Jerboa is on the playstore? It’s on git here.
I got Jerboa from the Play store so it’s there now. Overall it’s not bad, I like the UI but there seem to be a few bugs to work out. For example, I’ve noticed that if there are images in comments, the scroll starts stuttering, the screen flickers, and it’s difficult to scroll past the image. Not a deal breaker but hopefully Lemmy will get popular enough to attract more devs. I think Jerboa is a good start though, I hope to see it improve.
Edit: With the last two updates, most of the problems I’ve seen have been fixed. So far the app seems pretty great, especially considering how new it is.
Ahh. I’m in iOS land. I’ve been trying the TestFlight builds of Mlem, which are promising, but still very much feel like a work in progress.
Also, IMHO, the Mlem developer should really submit to the AppStore. Keeping things in TestFlight isn’t going to be great for onboarding iOS folks who aren’t like me, in software development for a living.
The devs were not ready for a sudden influx of users. But with influx users some more devs have joined the contribution too, so hopefully improvements will come frequently.
I just started a mobile-friendly experiment for lemmy called lemmynade the other day and I’m planning to expand it into something functional. It’s just a side project for now. I totally agree we seriously need a solid, dependable user interface/experience for lemmy that’s natural to use

Jerboa is pretty good :)

I’m hopeful i’m enjoying kbin thus far but this its a bit confusing lol a simplified mobile design would be awesome
