It is really neat. And a bit weird to have some Apple looking icons on my android! LOL+

I just tried wefwef, thanks for the recommendation. It's better than Jerboa so far.

Good to hear, enjoy :)

It's cool and all, but it seems to lag a bit on my phone (I tried Firefox and Chrome, and others based on those), especially when collapsing comments and navigating menus. Anyone else?

It works fine on desktop but it's too mobile-y for my liking.

Same here. Scrolling long comment chains is very laggy. Otherwise it looks and feels nice.

I'm now on Connect for Lemmy, which is very nice as a Rifugee. Some bugginess when it comes to font sizes but I like it so far.

I'm using Vivaldi browser on an S21 Ultra. When opening a community like formula1 there is a bit of loading time then everything seems smooth after that.

Midway through reading your comment, I thought you were going say the formula1 community loads blazingly fast.

Midway through reading your comment, I thought you were going say that only the formula1 community loads blazingly fast.

Eh, looks fine, but laggy and posts not going up.

Yes, use Firefox on Android to install the PWA. Brave also seems to work well from what I've seen.
