How are you accessing lemmy, or reddit? (mobile apps, desktop?)
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!

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.
