I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it’s slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA
PWA?
You can install Lemmy as an app directly to your home screen. If you’re using Lemmy on your phone browser, you can install it.
Ah I see. I’ve never heard the term PWA, but yeah I did that as well for lemmyworld on iOS. My one complaint is there doesn’t seem to be a way to refresh the “app”
Jerboa is a worthy successor of the “Boost for Reddit”. Maybe I am missing some threads on Reddit, but I don’t even want to find out Reddit is dead for me.
