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
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.
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.
I’m using memmy on iOS, it’s still on TestFlight: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy (click on “join the group”)
Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.
Thanks, I didn’t know that 😃
Been real happy with Memmy. It’s getting closer to Apollo every day
Yeah just a few things different but overall the aesthetic is very pleasing. Took forever for me to figure out how to mark a comment as “read” to get rid of the badges (slide left).
I also really love the ability to pick a hex code for the accent color.
Theres also an official release in the app store if you don’t want test flight version.
Nah, apps are better. There aren't any ads in the Lemmy apps I have installed on iOS, so uBlock Origin is irrelevant.
The UI is much better on apps in general.
Memmy on iOS is amazing and much better than using any browser.
Liftoff is a better app experience than I ever had using any options for Reddit. It's fanatastic. It's far, far better than a browser experience as well.
Liftoff is my daily driver, Voyager is also great. It's awesome how many open source Lemmy apps are in active development right now.
Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps
Using connect here too. Really enjoy using it.
The amount of features is insane! Mark as read on scroll, blocking instances, etc are super useful!
I’ve tried Browser and also Apps, Lemmy feels better via apps imo
What? No. Lemmy web is clunky. Try an app bruh.
When your Phones 1.5GB of RAM are always 1.3GB full and your CPU almost always at 100%, because you are running Android 11 (LineageOS) on a Phone from almost 10 years ago, then Jerboa starts to be quite a bit faster than Fennec (especially with uBlock~0~)
I use wefwef.app/Voyager on FF. I don't believe ublock does anything though since its not an Ad based service
Ublock will let you block just about anything, for instance if you're seeing too many posts from a specific instance ex: @leddit.danmark.party, this filter will block the entire instance lemmy.world##.post-listing:has-text(@leddit.danmark.party)

On mobile, I tried FFox and Chrome... Worked like garbage. I switched to Connect and I am happy now.
I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!
Unless there's some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I'm fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the "no ads" experience.
I didn't use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!
My personal preference is to use (preferably FLOSS) apps whenever possible. I just don't like the experience of a browser trying to act like a native application. This goes for desktop and mobile.
It'll never happen, but if there were a desktop lemmy app I would use it.
I know I'm (probably?) weird.
Yup, mobile Firefox runs beautifully and has all the features of the desktop version. I don't see a reason to get an app tbh.
When I used the web version of Lemmy, I wasn't able to find the subscribe button for communities.
The stock interface is garbage though. Need them apps to streamline the experience.
It's pretty damn excellent for a stock UI, and blows reddit out of the water. With that said I use Jerboa
I use Voyager and old.lemmy

FTFY
I'm still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol
Lemmy Enhancement Suite of Services.
LESS is more.
I'm not trademarking that, but please @me in the credits.
The community-based project of passion to enhance lemmy is already here... it's lemmy.
This isn't reddit. There isn't a big black box and company around the service that is preventing the community from making it what they want it to be.
Sure there can be flavors, but I'd guess if there's the type of consensus around the usefulness as there is with RES, then why wait for a separate project to shoehorn features on top of lemmy when the folks behind lemmy seem quite receptive to contributions?
I haven't dove into the Android app options and honestly, as an Android developer, I might just make my own.
I mostly browse on desktop, but wasn't a big fan of the main site, so I made my own one called Alexandrite that I think is more convenient to use. I use Voyager on my phone and I'm excited for Sync to release.
If anyone's curious here's one of my announcement posts, and another that includes mod tools.
