I love how nerdy everyone on lemmy is. Brings a tear to my eye to see so much Firefox love.
I use Mlem on ios. Still really early but it gets significantly better with every new release
Yeah, todays release improved it significantly
I would use Mlem…if it supported iOS 15…not going to lose my 15.1 jailbreak. I’ve been using one called “Memmy” on TestFlight…but it’s nowhere near the support and likely updates that Mlem is going to have
Yeah, the new TestFlight version is a big improvement.
I use Jerboa. Are there others? I wouldn’t mind trying them all out so I can pick the best one

I’ve been testing out Mlem for iOS
I started with Jerboa on Android but then saw someone post that the Lemmy web UI was a progressive web app that you could “install” to act as a standalone sort of app. Jerboa was missing the key feature of being able to view communities on other instances in the app by clicking on a link to them.
I’ve been using the web app as a stand alone app for a few days now. I like it more than Jerboa bc I can follow other communities. Although eventually I hope to switch to an Android app for ease of use.
Jerboa was missing the key feature of being able to view communities on other instances in the app by clicking on a link to them.
I guess I’m missing something because I believe I can do this? For instance, I drill down and look at comics@lemmy.ml or news@beehaw.org all the time in jerboa. What is it you’re trying to do?
Those links open my email app
Shouldn’t a community link start with a ! normally?
Edit: That link crashes jerboa
Edit 2: Probably needs to be [removed because crashes]
Edit 3: Lol still crashes jerboa I give up.
Edit 4: Removed the links that made jerboa crash
Really should have read your edits before clicking those links.
Oops, I’m sorry. I’ll remove them.
Same for my with Jerboa. At least the Version that will be released next week let‘s me sort comments by Old. The development seems to have increased a lot in the last weeks.
If I clicked on the community a post or comment came from I could navigate to it. But if someone posted a hyper link to another community the app would open up a web view.
I may be wrong but I think this actually comes down to the linker linking incorrectly.
This can be solved by going to your phones settings, then search for “Opening Links”. Then tap on Jerboa, click on “Add links” and tick all boxes. Now it will automatically open the links in the app!
Firefox for Android
There is Thunder for both Android and iOS.
Which is basically pre alpha. You can’t post, comment or meaningfully customize your experience yet.
I mean all of them are in pretty much the same state. I shared the alternative option as the 3 other options were already mentioned.
Wdym? Jerboa is basically feature complete, it’s only missing in customization and quality of life features. You can post, subscribe and comment. It has several different styles to choose from and offers customizable default sorting.
It’s defintely the most feature complete, but view, post, subscribe and comment are the basics. It’s far from a great experience. Check out feature requests section https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues?q=islabel%3Aenhancement+is%3Aopen
As an IOS 15 user (no Mlem support) this is appreciated…thanks!
EDIT: This looks better than Memmy by a longshot
I use Jerboa mostly because it was the first one that popped up
I’ve stopped to use jerboa. On mobile I prefer the web browser. Its fully functional and act like an app with an shortcut on the drawer :)
Same. I installed the web as an app, which is working much better for me. Jerboa needs some work before it’s ready for prime time.
Yeah, no doubt that will coming, for the both way to do. With time we will see great improvements I’m sure.
I think jerboa is the only one available for android
I’m playing about. I am on IOS so I saved the web app on the home screen as well and I find myself using it to find new communities/ comment/ post. I like Memmy as I enjoy the look and feel, I just feel it’s lacking a bit of functionality (such as receiving notifications, or searching for communities), but it easier to block communities on it. Mlem is nice as well, but again lacking a bit functionality wise (does not have search, cannot see post history, cannot receive notifications). At the moment I am switching between them depending on my needs at the moment and I will decide on one depending on their development in the future. I don’t mind testing new stuff and I enjoy discovering updates as they are coming on each of them
Edit: sorry, don’t know why it posted as reply, I thought I was replying to the main thread
There are apps? I’ve been using the website on mobile.
I just started using Jerboa. Not sue how it stacks up but I haven’t encountered anything to fault it so far
E: Ha when I replied I couldn’t see any other replies. Not sure if things synced up or the app didn’t refresh though.
Posting this again, as for some reason it got posted as a reply…

Mlem does have search. Tap the middle of the top bar, where it says “Subscribed” or “All”. Then tap “Communities…”
I’m surprised people can’t discover this, considering it’s the same workflow as Apollo.
I tried it, put in the link to the community (one of the main Support ones) and nothing happened… tried with another, again nothing. I thought I was using the wrong link, went from the web app, searched for it, copied the link from the search results, went back to Mlemm, pasted it and again nothing…. :(
I currently use Mlem on iOS. I’m very happy so far and they improve it with every update.
I don’t see that in the App Store currently.
It’s only on testflight and there’s no slots remaining. Hopefully it moves to GA soon.
I’m using a combination of Jerboa and running the website in Native alpha. Hopefully Jerboa gets even better with time.
I’m on iOS, currently running Mlem and Memmy.
