Idk it just seems to work/look better and doesn’t sign me out whenever I go on some certain instances
I definitely prefer the app because it has a critical feature for me: tap to collapse
I read a lot of the comments and being able to quickly collapse them is absolutely essential. There’s no way I’m able to hit that tiny little box in the webgui on mobile.
I’ve signed up to support the dev because honestly, for an alpha this is pretty good. It seems to get timeout errors all the time even when the vote goes through, and you’re right it’s annoying that it can’t load Lemmy links internally, but it’s a great start and I hope it continues.
Although it’s still missing the button to go to the next top level comment
That was one of my favourite boost features. And you could use your volume button to jump.
Absolutely not! Clicking on links to a LOT of other communities/posts ends up opening a web browser within Jerboa to view the content. I got so tired of it that I moved to the mobile web site and now the user interface is consistent.
checkout the Android App settings in Open by default > Add link
in latest app update they added new community linksYeah, so there are 8 links, but thousands of Lemmy servers. This will never scale and there’s no way I’m going to go do that every time I update, which will never have an up to date list of all relevant domains. This isn’t even a valid workaround, much less a real solution unfortunately.
Also, those are all second level domains, but I’m seeing most Lemmy servers are at subdomain level. This means the system would be trying to send say mail.lemmy.ml to Jerboa, which it isn’t equipped to handle nor would I want it to.
IF Lemmy/kbin truly take off after a bit, I almost guarantee the link format will be handled appropriately at pretty much all levels from OS to browser, just the same as an email/URL/whatever.
Big if, but one can hope.
That’s fixed in an upcoming release. I forget if it’s 0.0.34 or whatever comes next, but that was implemented in the last week.
It’s a fast moving project, so check back in every week or two. It may be a bumpy ride in the next couple weeks as lemmy (the server bit) gets a new release and instances slowly upgrade, so have some patience with it in the meantime.
There are functionalities that are missing but overall I’m pretty satisfied, for an alpha release
It’s not Sync for Reddit, but it gets the job done. Hopefully more development can be made seeing the user base is growing so fast
Jerboa was the reason for me to take the plunge and actually create an account. It feels very similar to Sync out of the box which I have been using to browse Reddit before. But there are definitely some rough edges still that need to be ironed out.
I would prefer the app, because it looks great and reminds me of Infinity, but it crashes way too often for me.
I still use it and appreciate the work being done on it but it’s still too buggy for me to truly prefer it. I still regularly login to Lemmy through my browser, which I would very rarely ever do on reddit once I started using the infamous third-party apps.
All I know is the app. I find it’s alright, definitely some gotchas, but overall it seems to be working fine
I’m back and forth. I made a Firefox app and it works. I use Jerboa and it works. I’m waiting to see which one comes out on top in the coming weeks before making a decision.
How can I use jerboa with kbin?
I think you can follow kbin magazines with your lemmy account, an then I suppose they’ll show up in Jerboa.
You cannot use Jerboa as a client directly for kbin.
I can’t take my desktop pc to the toilet so…
But you CAN rdp to it from the toilet.
Instructions unclear. Toilet is now in front of desk
As it should be
I haven’t tried the app, but quite pleased with the web GUI on tablet.
Same
yeah, not yet.
there is good and bad, and i expect that there will be more and more features released now that there are a heap of users :)
There’s an app?
I think someone needs to make a /c/lost_lemmings or something. ;)
