I'm using "Jerboa for Lemmy" on Android cause its the only option i've found lol

ps: it's my second day

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 [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! I've been pretty happy with Jerboa so far but this is definitely my main issue with it.

[–] jcb2016 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

No, the person you're talking to is using Lemmy :P

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there isn't an obvious way to tell. I only know because their instance's address is lemmy.pt.

Although, annoyingly, Lemmy doesn't show that part if someone has a display name set. Not sure if kbin does though.

There should be an easier way to tell.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As far as I know, it doesnt. I tried 😅

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Kbin federates with Lemmy now. I can browse Kbin magazines in Jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I keep getting an error that says "value of html java type not found"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I've been getting that a bit. I think that's the error that you get when your instance of lemmy is getting overloaded and servers having a difficult time keeping up with the users.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. That's what I've been assuming also. But didn't Lemmy.ml just upgrade?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 would love to see apps like Relay, RIF etc having a Lemmy variant.
