I just use Firefox, not seeing any reason to download a extra app
Good to know, I was just having flashbacks to using Reddit on a browser and thought a dedicated App may be something in the wild out there.
Lemmy's browser experience is a lot better than Reddit's.
Same here.
But as a user of Firefox on mobile, I’m running into a weird persistent issue around the back button and post listings on pages beyond the first page. Sometimes, when I click into either the comments of a post or the post itself, when I click the ‘back’ button to return to the post list, sometimes I will end up on the previous page of search results (as though I pressed the back button twice).
Reloading the page seems to fix the problem (showing me the post list page that I expect), but it’s still weird.
Have you seen this?
That's been an issue for a while now in Lemmy-UI. It's the main annoyance that made me switch to alternative UIs.
I really don't watch YouTube on my phone. Sorry I can't help you with that
I just use the website of the instance I prefer on desktop via Firefox. On mobile, I use Liftoff.
I just use my browser; the less software I have to install, the better.
I use Alexandrite on desktop. Nice, modern interface that maximizes screen real estate with its 2-panel layout.
I started using it because it was the first one I could find with infinite scrolling. I've just gotten used to it now.
Love the interface and it does cover the entire screen, dark mode is a plus as well, thanks checking it out now.
LibreWolf
Nice one, will definitely try this one out.
That's not a Lemmy specific app by the way, it's a version of Firefox
Yeah I know, I am interested in the privacy side of things as well, so having a Mozilla based privacy centric browser on top of using lemmy on the web sounds like a great approach for me.
I use the basic frontend with Firefox.
A lot of extensions and userscripts support it it, and while there are are other frontends depending on your instance, I found them buggy.
You can find a lot of the extensions on communities that keep track of that. I use a few of extensions a lot, like Instance Assistant. Others look cool but I haven't tried them much, like the multi-lemmy one
Edit:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/lemmy-instance-assistant/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/mullem/ (although it looks like this one hasn't been updated in a few months, your results may vary)
If you have an Apple chip Mac Voyager can be used on desktop.
Thanks for this, it's an interesting option, I tried it on my M1 Mac and it's pretty close to what I was hoping for. Using a web app and browser for me doesn't always work well when I decide to shut down and clear my cookies, this will always force me to sign in again.
I'm using a browser (Firefox to be exact), but there are native Linux interfaces for Lemmy, like Lemoa.
On pc I am using voyager web app. It works just fine.
