Let us know how you are accessing lemmy (or reddit). Both are going to see some big updates shortly, reddit in a negative way, while lemmy is only improving services.
I am putting together some information to help new users get the most out of lemmy, so that it feels user-friendly and easily accessible. Stay tuned
For those of you using lemmy in a mobile browser, most browsers support “installing” the site as a progressive web app (PWA). This will create a shortcut which opens the site fullscreen without the usual browser address bar, giving it a much more “appy” feel.
For Safari on iOS:
- Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
- Click on the share button located at the center bottom of the screen
- Scroll to add to the home button at the bottom of the UI
- Click on add to the home button
- Click on add button
For the Chrome, Firefox and most other mobile browsers:
- Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
- Tap the 3-dot Firefox menu
- Select Install
I’m not familiar with Iphones though.
I feel like a dunce being unaware of this!
Same!
Hi! I’m using the Jerboa app on an Android phone. Not using reddit much, but if I do, it’s through the website. So glad to see this community here! Thank you for all that you do.
Also using jerboa on lemmy. I’ve pretty much abandoned reddit. I was a long time RIF user and am sad to see it go. So happy to see activity here!
Wef wef web app on iPhone. Looks so much like Apollo, I forget where I am sometimes
Right now for Lemmy I am using the Safari web browser page bookmarked onto my iPhone home screen. I have both Memmy and Mlem installed on my iPhone (beta versions), but both are missing a lot of basic features at the moment. So I mostly use the bookmarked safari page. I am eagerly waiting for iOS apps to be released.
Here I use mobile Safari and desktop Safari. I only peek at Reddit for a couple of health related subs that didn’t migrate, and I use Bacon Reader. Once that goes away I’ll use old.reddit.com in the browser until they kill that too
Was using jerboa but it’s having issues with the new update so I am now trying lemmynade.
Jerboa for Lemmy, Infinity for reddit
Same here, I’ll love infinity until the end.
