Same, still has a lot of missing features though. The one thing that would be a major improvement is to be able to open links between communities and threads. It always interprets everything as an email address for some reason. !Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

Give it time. Like one solid day and you will be an expert in no time. Jerboa is nice but it’s only in alpha stage. use lemmy on the mobile browser and desktop. you gotta get used to it though first. Just like Reddit when you first started using it

I agree with this. I’ve been using Jerboa when needed (personally prefer it to the mobile browser), but if I have the option I’m just browsing using my laptop. I’m sure that there is going to be a point where mobile apps like Jerboa are more streamlined, which I look forward to. I’ve always been a mobile user first and foremost.

Oh, I didn’t realize. Confusing…

There should really be some identifier in kbin so I can tell if users are on the same platform or not…

I coudn’t find a Kbin app for android either.

Also using Jerboa because it is seemingly the only app that’s currently out there for android. I wish one of the 3rd party reddit app devs would bring their app over to lemmy.

It’s going to take time because the APIs are different. Someone (I wish I had noted who) was working on an API shim so that they could be added more easily.

I found the web UI on mobile a bit clumsy for my big thumbs.

There’s a couple early beta apps for iOS:

Mlem - https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

Memmy - https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

Thanks for the links!

I didn’t know about memmy. This is great.

These are the two I’m trying! Need to use the web browser for most features, though.

I just installed Memmy a few minutes ago, and I quite enjoy it thus far!

Using Mlem. Really enjoying it so far, it doesn’t seem to have that refresh bug that the web based version has.

It’s hard to tell what’s a bug in the app and what’s a bug in the underlying Lemmy service these days.

Hooray for early days of software development! 😀

Which is exactly why I’m using the web interface for the time being. There’s already bugs with this early build, I don’t need to compound them with an additional application layer 😂

+1 for Mlem. It’s buggy but still a better default experience than Reddit’s official App.
