Community Rules

Follow the Code of Conduct

All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct

Be helpful

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.

Critique should be constructive

We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.

This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Don't post malicious "advice"

It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No personal attacks

Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.

No hate speech

Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

Not Pop related, but certainly more appropriate to ask here than at Reddit.

So is there an app for Android that can be used to access Lemmy.world?

Thanks

Jerboa is the Lemmy app - it's on the app store

Got it, many thanks.

I think the one on F-Droid is slightly more updated? At least I think I saw that somewhere.

Jerboa is the official Lemmy app created by the Lemmy developers. It's unfortunately not a super great experience at the moment, but it's improving quickly with all the attention on the fediverse. I use the mobile site as a PWA, but I keep Jerboa installed and try it every now and then. I'll make the switch permanent soon, I'm sure, given the rapid development.

Edit: Forgot to mention it's available both on F-Droid and Google Play, in case you avoid Google services on your device.

Jerboa isn't the worst experience. I'm using it now and much more forgiving of some of the ui weirdness because I like it and want it to succeed unlike Reddit. Plus I can understand stability issues considering .... [gestures at everything]

I've been impressed with Jerboa so far, coming from RiF the transition has been pretty smooth.

I'd like to add that Thunder seems so be an up and coming and very promising looking app for Android and iOS. I've used it a little and it seems very nice. It's available on izzyOnDroid or their github
