So Jerboa broke on my phone just now and I didn’t want to stop browsing Lemmy. Unfortunately no suitable alternative was found so I just decided to check if I could open it in my browser and install it.
To my surprise, it worked. And it works really well quite frankly. Sure, the UI is different, but I’m not at all missing any features.
Did any of you guys try it as well? What’s your opinion?
If not, did you even know that was a possibility? It quite frankly never crossed my mind, because Reddit and other platforms always force you to use an app when you open them in a browser.
I’m posting currently from the PWA after I enabled 2FA on my account (not currently working with Jerboa). It’s nice and works well, but I prefer the more compact list view present in Jerboa. Other than that, no complaints!
I’m using connect for Lemmy and that seems to work really well.
I’ve been really enjoying thunder for Lemmy.
Entirely agree. Firefox mobile shortcut is the best alternative out there in terms of UX
I’m also finding it really effective. I only hate that backing out from a post is a crapshoot on whether it preserves my scroll position, resets to the top, or reloads the entire feed.
