I'm having an excellent time with Jerboa.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa too. However, since I am subscribed to some sublemmes from my mastodon account, I might occasionally use Tusky aswel to write comments.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The font size in Jerboa is way too big right now, it's not a good experience. There's an issue on their GitHub and apparently this is a bug in their markdown parser. I'll give it another shot once they fix that, but for now, I just use my instance from a mobile browser and it's not half bad. "Reddit bad" memes aside, Lemmy's mobile UI is actually pretty good... unlike Reddit's.

You probably know, but just in case not - you can adjust the text size in Jerboa in the settings :-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I've decreased the font size on step, which makes comments just a bit too large, and other text a bit too small ๐Ÿ˜„ I am not complaining though, it's totally fine

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hi, thought I'd come back to this to let you know that version 0.0.33 alpha has been released and the text size is working a lot better now :-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

There's been an update (0.33 - on github) that has fixed the font size issue for me.

I made a firefox fullscreen shortcut for my instance of lemmy. I prefer it to jerboa personnally

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Agree jerboa is nice & clean & stable enough considering it's still in alpha.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the way for now. I haven't tried Jerboa but why bother when the Lemmy web UI is already minimalistic

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Jerboa has nice features and display than the web version.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How long until Lemmy wants $20 million a month from Jerboa? ;-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll give it a whirl.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think there are only two and I'm using Jerboa because it's available on F-Droid.

I hope that the development will ramp up on the application, it needs a UI work over. I can't even choose my default settings for sorting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What is the name of the other app?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's called Lemmur. But it's not actively developed

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was incorrect, I missed that it was only for Android. Mlem is the second app but for iOS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa. I am really hopeful for its development. Each release is going to get a lot of fixes and improvements. It is a satisfying feeling to see software grow and improve.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's good to hear, I've also just realised that the app is also very recently updated. Whereas the other app was last updated last year.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmur is not maintained, wish it was as it's pretty but it's incompatible with latest lemmy versions.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there anything else other than Jeroba?

Right now I have Jeroba and Lemmy.ml "installed" as an app through firefox.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tell me about it. there's lemmur but it's broken

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Lemmur is discontinued & Jerboa is stable enough after the last update.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~Lemmur, since it works with my instance unlike Jerboa (planning to switch after admins update the software tho)~~ Now using Jerboa

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don't think there are any other clients? But jerboa is great, so...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mlem. Anyone else?
