Soon, we may be able to use any of the reddit apps.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

For the moment, short term, this is a good initiative. But I don’t think it’s a sustainable approach for app developers. Any man in the middle is a potential source of failure.
Yeah, I don't think this is intended for long term, but getting some of the good apps on lemmy would be a huge step forward from jerboa.
That's a pretty cool approach, I hope the old reddit apps stay up for that.
Mlem has been a good option for me on my phone so far.
Yes, I am using mlem. The only problem I had was an issue with setting up testflight — I had to copy and paste the code from the URL that mlem gives you
Jerboa
@Arystique I heard about it https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa/
Downloaded this, Kinda neat. kinda feels like im being flashbanged everytime i change pages though.
It could definitely be smoothed out a fair bit.
I'm not yet familiar enough with Lemmy interactions to understand the ways that it's lacking, but I see a lot of simple UI improvements that would make a world of difference.
It's a start!
Its seems like a good app in concept but I still find it a bit lacking in features and polish. Thankfully the amount of people working on it has skyrocketed, so I imagine it should be pretty functional in the near future.
It keeps saying "wrong credentials" when I try to log in. Has anyone had the same issue and found a solution ?
Yeah, it happened to me.
I tried again later and it worked, so no idea what the issue was, unfortunately.
There are two mobile apps, one for Android and one for iOS. Check here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/
Mlem is still in test flight, not on the app store yet.
You might be able to save the website as a progressive web app to your home screen?
This is what I've done and at this point, I prefer to Jerboa, feels exactly like an app.
Same, the only thing that seem to be a bit hit and miss in Jerboa, is the search for communities. Yesterday evening when I tried it, it didn't work. Now it is working again. Not sure if it's caused by a server being overload provided by Jerboa or it's my instance that was / is a bit fiddly.
edit: grammar is hard yo
If it's the first time that has been searched by a user of your instance, it takes time. Subsequent people using it and searches will be quicker.
@SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl is right, basically.
Oh thats clever
I see that with both the web interface and Jerboa, in any case reloading or searching again will make it show up for me
Same for me. My uneducated guess is, that it probably has something to do with the propagation of data between instances. But that's a "problem" that will sort itself out once more users (and thus more initiated search queries) will hit the instances.
In iOS, I opened it in Safari, then made a shortcut. It works okay, with the exception of the navigation buttons. I'm kinda working around it for now.
