Hello,
I’ve been using Reddit for several years, most of which through RIF. On my desktop, I used to use old.reddit, but with how things are going, I doubt it’ll survive much longer. They might just ride out the current storm before they go that far. However, I spend a significant portion of my time on the internet on my phone, so I’m looking for a simple, easy to use app that’s similar to what I’m used to.
Android btw.
Jerboa is developed by Lemmy’s devs. It’s fairly decent, though it needs some polish in the search functionality.
In most functionality, not just the search.
It’s okay, I’m using it now, but it definitely feels like a beta app.
If you go to their github page (pull request) you can see what they are currently working
aton:It’s still in alpha phase
Was looking into the same. Currently trying Jerboa for Lemmy. First steps on Lemmy so no opinion yet.

Not at the moment that I am aware… There are apps but they are not as good as RIF. Hopefully the 3rd party reddit apps will be ported.
Yeah a LemmyIsFun would be awesome :)
Wouldnt count on it from the dev of that app as he is working on a tildes app right now. Someone showed it in the redditisfun subreddit. He apparently was taking donations on their forum. A shame to be honest. I dont like Tildes as platform. I dont want a reddit clone that can have the same problems as Reddit has now.
Yeah I’m just warming up to the idea of the whole fediverse thing. I think it’s an awesome idea, just a little confusing for a newbie like me :) I’ll stick with this for sure.
The Reddit Sync developer is looking at developing a Lemmy app. I really hope he follows through as Sync is fantastic.
At the moment I am using Jerboa and it is fine for the time being.
I’m using the PWA.
As I understand this community is better suited for open-ended questions, this post might fit better in [email protected]
for iOS Mlem is similar to Apollo. Link should be on the official Lemmy page
I wouldn’t say mlem is similar to Apollo. At least not yet. It’s in a very early state and is missing a lot of essential features. You can basically read threads and that’s about it. Posting and replying is super rudimentary, you can’t see your own profile and notifications are just a placeholder.
I’m sure it will be great in a few months but right now, the web version is your best choice on iOS.
Give it some time. The devs are currently working things out.
That was my takeaway as well
I think it has the most important features already in it, but what mainly bothers me is the fact that is crashes a lot and that you can’t search for new communities.
I’m able to search for communities by tapping the “Subscribed” title at the top and then typing something, it should show autocompleted communities.
Thanks! Wow, that’s well hidden
There are notifications in Mlem?
The last version added a “Messages” tab but so far it doesn’t have any content.
Quite literally, the developer for RIF is working on a Tildes app, part of the Fediverse. Tildes is invite only for now, however - that might change down the line.
The mobile website for Lemmy is pretty good, at least for my instance.
Yeah that’s what I’m using right now, too. Better than expected, makes it easier to wait for a polished app.
On android I was able to install it as a webapp, it works really well to the point where I don’t really need more.
