    We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.

    Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can’t make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.

      Interesting. I’m using Jerboa right now and while I have a few complaints, scrolling speed isn’t one of them. I wonder if it’s a phone specific issue.

        the only shrinking issue I have is, when there are images in the comments - then it flickers all the time

        Right now I’m just using the web interface on mobile - selfhosted though so I got to change the theme to dark.

            Dark Reader made Firefox on Android so unbelievably slow for me that I disabled it out of frustration, and have just been blinding myself rather than waiting 10+ seconds for Firefox to load sites that Chrome loaded near instantly.

              ehhh I don’t use firefox tho I use Kiwi Browser with dark reader extension. It works very very fast.

              I would use firefox but firefox is kinda slow on my phone and I dislike slow.

                TIL about Kiwi Browser, thanks for this, I think I could like this a lot. Firefox’s mobile extension support is extremely limited, so this is a breath of fresh air.

                  The only warning I can give you cuz it bothers some people around me is that it’s centralized and closed source. It’s also not privacy oriented. Other than that I like it more than Firefox in all respects.

                    That’s not my favourite, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I used Chrome for a long time on desktop. Thanks for the info, though! I’m going to give it a shot for a few days, and see if I can live without tab syncing.

                    I love that they have bottom URL bar as an option though! One of my favourite additions to Firefox Mobile. Will make the switch a whole lot more comfortable.

      I’m using jerboa right now, agreeded. It’s not the worst experience but there’s definitely improvements to be made.

      There’s a real opportunity in transitioning existing reddit clients to access Lemmy instead. Keep the user base, change the platform.

      Mlem for iOS is a beta still in early development but it’s buttery smooth on my phone. If the dev sees this, I appreciate your work a lot!

      Tbh I prefer just good old firefox browser over jerboa. The site is optimized pretty well for mobile
