I just joined Lemmy because someone on reddit mentioned in it a comment on a thread regarding the blackout. It's kind of cool getting into a community while it's still relatively small. I'm excited to see how things grow.

I hopped over here permanently tonight. Uninstalled boost on my phone, and I made Lemmy.ml my homepage. Reddit is just too depressing right now to keep it as my default.

When on a Lemmy site on mobile, in Firefox you can go to the three-dots menu and select "install". You get a shortcut on your phone that will take you to an app like version of Lemmy.

Im using the Jerboa, official Lemmy mobile app on Android

Is Jeroba official? I thought it was third-party

I think it's supposed to feel that way, since it's not on the official LemmyNet github org, and located on one of the developers' accounts instead afaik

AFAIK you are correct. I don't think lemmy has an official app and the only 3rd party app that exists of any substance is jerboa so I suppose right now it is kind of the official Android app while mlem is the iOS counterpart. But only because there's nothing else atm

Reddit is just too depressing right now to keep it as my default.

It really seems like the front page is just a list of politicians, companies, and people doing terrible things.
