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!
I use voyager on android lol
browser on pc, app on phone
I use Native Alpha to avoid apps on mobile
Edit: misspelling
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.
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll
For me, this is a bug and not a feature.
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.
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.
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
That’s the beauty of lemmy and other open protocols, you can experience it however you like. If you prefer the stock web experience, it’s there, if you prefer an alternative web experience, it’s there, if you prefer an app, there are several to choose from. If you don’t like any of that, you can even spend some time and make your own crazy thing.
I’m still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol
Lemmy Enhancement Suite of Services.
LESS is more.
I’m not trademarking that, but please @me in the credits.
The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here… it’s lemmy.
This isn’t reddit. There isn’t a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.
Sure there can be flavors, but I’d guess if there’s the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?
That’s not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.
There’s nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don’t have to go through an approval process. That’s the power of addons.
Connect, feels closes to boost. Until we have boost
It will come out. It’s currently available to pre-register.
@dumbfox@lemmy.ml test
I’m using memmy on iOS, it’s still on TestFlight: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy (click on “join the group”)
Another +1 for Memmy. It has been my Apollo replacement.
Been real happy with Memmy. It’s getting closer to Apollo every day
Working pretty decent already. I would absolutely love an optimized layout option for the iPad however.
I haven’t tried it on my iPad yet but that would be great
It does work it just has the same problem Apollo had that it just isn’t optimized … I really liked the way alienblue or narwhal looked on the iPad because it just used the extra space better instead of feeling like a scaled up phone.
On a side note … Reddit really expected all third party users to switch to their shitty app when it doesn’t have Tablet support after how many years?
Yeah just a few things different but overall the aesthetic is very pleasing. Took forever for me to figure out how to mark a comment as “read” to get rid of the badges (slide left).
I also really love the ability to pick a hex code for the accent color.
Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.
Thanks, I didn’t know that 😃
I have both Memmy and Mlem and I switch between them every time one releases an update to see who’s better.
I’ve tried Mlem on and off, but Memmy and Voyager run circles around it in functionality. I’m sure the developer drama didn’t help anything either. I do hope Mlem catches up, because more options are never a bad thing.
Wait, there was developer drama? I just saw a comment from the Mlem dev yesterday thanking the Memmy dev for helping with getting their app through some testflight issues.
Yes, first, the founder of the project suddenly left with no warning, and then the guy who took over locked everybody out shortly after that. The remaining developers had to jump through hoops so they could resume development of the app.
Theres also an official release in the app store if you don’t want test flight version.
!memmy@lemmy.ml kicks ass 💯
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 :)
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
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
the problem is mobile, using browser there sucks
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.
Good advice but too smug for my taste. I give this post a C- and a downvote.
Thanks for the feedback.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
PWA’s are the happy place in-between browser and app on mobile. Voyager is great, especially when installed as a PWA.
Heck, I’m even using Voyager on my “desktop setup” iPad!
DuckDuckGo is magical.
The Lemmy mobile app is excellent. I never feel a need to download an app to browse on mobile.
