the problem is mobile, using browser there sucks
Try using wefwef.app It’s a great mobile browser friendly way to access Lemmy.
@atomWood @MaxElFantasma Recently renamed to Vger I think. https://vger.app
No it's renamed to Voyager, vger is just the url
Ha, a Star Trek reference, I like it.
It's a reference to the Voyager space program,which followed the Apollo space program. Apollo was the name of the reddit app for iOS that was very popular, and had many of the same features
And the URL vger is a reference to this.
That’s weird. I’m currently on Memmy, when I tap your link it stops at V , skipping ‘ger entirely. Though I ended up inside of Memory Alpha, all I got was:
V
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.
Memmy didn't copy the link correctly - the apostrophe is tripping it up. Search "V'ger" on Memory Alpha.
@rbits you are absolutely correct. I edited my post but edits may not propagate to all servers
This is really great, thank you very much!
I like Jerboa, but I have two lemmy accounts, and this will be a great improvement for browsing my second account.
Jerboa switches back and forth between accounts pretty well, I've found.
I didn't realize for some reason that I could do this ayyy
Fantastic experience, I endorse this webapp
Oh, you’re totally right. I hadn’t noticed the change.
Easier to remember the m.lemmy.world link, should work for any instance afaik
Perhaps, but m.lemmy.world is just using wefwef anyway.
Its Voyager now, but there are many links that all connect to it. Just saying its easier to remember than wefwef since thats not even the name of the app anymore
The solution is Linux Mobile, where browser becomes the only option as apps don't tend to be available, but it's a full fledged browser so it can use all the appropriate addons. Typing this from my PinePhone Pro with keyboard case, postmarketOS, LibreWolf with the same addon set that I have on my desktop and laptop because Firefox Sync keeps everything synced together.
I mean, Waydroid exists, and so do native Linux Lemmy apps.
True, but I was always an old.reddit user even when I used Reddit and Android (Firefox on Android). Now I use mlmym.org on my PinePhone. The experience is pretty much the same, except now I have a keyboard to type faster.
You can install Firefox Nightly and setup an addon collection on the FF website and use pretty much all desktop addons on your mobile Firefox browser. Then you can install TamperMonkey and search GreasyFork for custom usercripts that add enhancements to the website.
So, no, it's not a problem.
Good advice but too smug for my taste. I give this post a C- and a downvote.
Thanks for the feedback.
Or, I could just hit download in the play store and sign in. It's great you can do that. Not everyone wants to go through that effort though.
Or I could install Voyager and have a better user experience in 5 seconds. I love Firefox but the mobile experience is highly dependent on the care a site puts into their mobile site.
PWA's are the happy place in-between browser and app on mobile. Voyager is great, especially when installed as a PWA.
Heck, I'm even using Voyager on my "desktop setup" iPad!
DuckDuckGo is magical.
