Let us know how you are accessing lemmy (or reddit). Both are going to see some big updates shortly, reddit in a negative way, while lemmy is only improving services.
I am putting together some information to help new users get the most out of lemmy, so that it feels user-friendly and easily accessible. Stay tuned
For those of you using lemmy in a mobile browser, most browsers support “installing” the site as a progressive web app (PWA). This will create a shortcut which opens the site fullscreen without the usual browser address bar, giving it a much more “appy” feel.
For Safari on iOS:
- Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
- Click on the share button located at the center bottom of the screen
- Scroll to add to the home button at the bottom of the UI
- Click on add to the home button
- Click on add button
For the Chrome, Firefox and most other mobile browsers:
- Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
- Tap the 3-dot Firefox menu
- Select Install
I’m not familiar with Iphones though.
I feel like a dunce being unaware of this!
Same!
I’m using Jerboa 90% of the time for Lemmy. For Reddit I was 100% in RIF, but I’m off of there now ofc.
Right now for Lemmy I am using the Safari web browser page bookmarked onto my iPhone home screen. I have both Memmy and Mlem installed on my iPhone (beta versions), but both are missing a lot of basic features at the moment. So I mostly use the bookmarked safari page. I am eagerly waiting for iOS apps to be released.
I use lemmy.world on my phones browser.
Not great, not terrible.
I use jerboa almost exclusively.
I’m using Jerboa to access lemmy on my phone. I’ve only looked in on Reddit once since the sub blackouts and used Boost.
I’m using the jerboa app on my (android) phone. I’ve used the website a couple of times (installed as an an app) but have found the app easier… I’ve always used the official Reddit app (really only been on Reddit for just over a year and a half) and only using it to check out the sewing subs cos they don’t seem to have moved over … yet…
But agree that Reddit is very quickly losing its appeal, and I definitely prefer it here on Lemmy…
I’m using the Jerboa and Reddit is Fun apps on Android.
Safari on my phone, but it leaves a lot to be desired. I’m hoping someone will develop a good iPhone app soon.
I use memmy, and then use mobile safari only if i need to do something memmy can’t.
Wow I didn’t even know about memmy! That’s cool!
Browser on iPad for lemmy. Apollo app for Reddit (for as long as I’m there anyway).
Jerboa for lemmy and Relay for Reddit (until it’s put out of service…)
Jerboa for Lemmy, Infinity for reddit
Same here, I’ll love infinity until the end.
So far I’ve just used lemmy.world on a browser on both laptop and kindle. If there’s an app just for lemmy, I don’t know what it is.
I do still scroll through Reddit a bit (using RIF on my phone), but it’s becoming such a dumpster fire, it’s losing its appeal quickly.Hi! I’m using the Jerboa app on an Android phone. Not using reddit much, but if I do, it’s through the website. So glad to see this community here! Thank you for all that you do.
