Posting from Thunder from Android, loving it!
the problem is mobile, using browser there sucks
PWA’s are the happy place in-between browser and app on mobile. Voyager is great, especially when installed as a PWA.
You can install Firefox Nightly and setup an addon collection on the FF website and use pretty much all desktop addons on your mobile Firefox browser. Then you can install TamperMonkey and search GreasyFork for custom usercripts that add enhancements to the website.
So, no, it’s not a problem.
Or, I could just hit download in the play store and sign in. It’s great you can do that. Not everyone wants to go through that effort.
Good advice but too smug for my taste. I give this post a C- and a downvote.
Thanks for the feedback.
Or I could install Voyager and have a better user experience in 5 seconds. I love Firefox but the mobile experience is highly dependent on the care a site puts into their mobile site.
DuckDuckGo is magical.
Heck, I’m even using Voyager on my “desktop setup” iPad!
The solution is Linux Mobile, where browser becomes the only option as apps don’t tend to be available, but it’s a full fledged browser so it can use all the appropriate addons. Typing this from my PinePhone Pro with keyboard case, postmarketOS, LibreWolf with the same addon set that I have on my desktop and laptop because Firefox Sync keeps everything synced together.
I mean, Waydroid exists, and so do native Linux Lemmy apps.
True, but I was always an old.reddit user even when I used Reddit and Android (Firefox on Android). Now I use mlmym.org on my PinePhone. The experience is pretty much the same, except now I have a keyboard to type faster.
Try using wefwef.app It’s a great mobile browser friendly way to access Lemmy.
Easier to remember the m.lemmy.world link, should work for any instance afaik
Perhaps, but m.lemmy.world is just using wefwef anyway.
Its Voyager now, but there are many links that all connect to it. Just saying its easier to remember than wefwef since thats not even the name of the app anymore
Recently renamed to Voyager I think. https://vger.app
Fantastic experience, I endorse this webapp
No it’s renamed to Voyager, vger is just the url
Ha, a Star Trek reference, I like it.
It’s a reference to the Voyager space program,which followed the Apollo space program. Apollo was the name of the reddit app for iOS that was very popular, and had many of the same features
And the URL vger is a reference to this.
That’s weird. I’m currently on Memmy, when I tap your link it stops at V , skipping ‘ger entirely. Though I ended up inside of Memory Alpha, all I got was:
V

@rbits you are absolutely correct. I edited my post but edits may not propagate to all servers
This is really great, thank you very much!
I like Jerboa, but I have two lemmy accounts, and this will be a great improvement for browsing my second account.
Jerboa switches back and forth between accounts pretty well, I’ve found.
I didn’t realize for some reason that I could do this ayyy
Yup, mobile Firefox runs beautifully and has all the features of the desktop version. I don’t see a reason to get an app tbh.
I mostly browse on desktop, but wasn’t a big fan of the main site, so I made my own one called Alexandrite that I think is more convenient to use. I use Voyager on my phone and I’m excited for Sync to release.
If anyone’s curious here’s one of my announcement posts, and another that includes mod tools.
I use mlmym.org which is an Old Reddit style interface for Lemmy. Better than Old Reddit on mobile because it automatically reflows the sidebar to the bottom in vertical layout, though I use a PinePhone Pro with keyboard case so it’s pretty much always horizontal.
browser on pc, app on phone
I use Native Alpha to avoid apps on mobile
Edit: misspelling
Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It’s fanatastic. It’s far, far better than a browser experience as well.
I grabbed liftoff after reading about the early access when using web interface. I’m sure it is missing some features, but it does “just work”, so I’m pretty happy with it.
Sync is still my favorite app for Reddit. And now I’m waiting Sync for lemmy.
In the meantime I’ll be using liftoff. Seem like it’s pretty close to sync, but no as good as sync.
Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It’s awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.
it’s really great. I’m using connect on android, because it’s similar to RIF. But the beautiful thing is we have choice. I really hope you enjoy your lemmy experience on whatever app makes you happy.
I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo
I want features the web UI doesn’t have, like an inage viewer with zoom gestures and a direct file share button.
Thunder has that, and as a foss app I will be able to add more stuff that I want, like easy toggling or dismissing of read posts, and more.
I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!
Unless there’s some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I’m fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the “no ads” experience.
I didn’t use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll and a more usable layout. The website works ok, but there’s lots of room for improvement.
All the stuff at the top on lemmy web page gets turned into buttons on the top and bottom of my phone that I don’t have to scroll up for. Vote buttons are big enough to hit easily. Titles flow on top of Images so I see more than a thumbnail without tapping.
In my experience (large asterisk there), infinite scroll is great until you click a link, then hit back, and it doesn’t resume where you were before so then you have to keep scrolling to get back to where you were before. Maybe the infinite scroll experience is better now than it was in the dark ages of new.reddit.
Pagination just never really bugged me? It gives me a stopping point.
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll
For me, this is a bug and not a feature.
The gamechanging functionality for me was being able to log in. Mobile, desktop, whatever. I click login, use my credentials, it says “logged in” and then asks me to log in again and warns down the right side of the website that I’m not logged in.
Using an app, I can actually log the fuck in.
That’s fair. I’m definitely having to log in every couple days.
But I’m also not on Lemmy as often / continuously as I was on reddit. That’s been a nice change for me.
I use voyager on android lol
The trick for me has been diversification. Firefox replaced RIF.
I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.
Does Adnauseum actually work?
Yup
Holy shit… I’ve been clicking around on as many ad-infested websites as possible and mine is completely empty. Are you using firefox?
Chrome at work, Firefox at home.
Not sure what’s going on, but it just doesn’t work for me. Unfortunate :/
Good that it works for you though. Doing your part!
What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.
I use wefwef.app/Voyager on FF. I don’t believe ublock does anything though since its not an Ad based service
I’m using ublock to block large media elements when I’m running low on data :)
uBlock Origin doesn’t do anything in this case, but it’s more of a general statement of my browsing setup
The m.lemmy.world and vger.app links also work
I’ve been switching between those two as well. Theres a couple features I prefer on wefwef but in general the memmy app seems smoother
