So Jerboa broke on my phone just now and I didn’t want to stop browsing Lemmy. Unfortunately no suitable alternative was found so I just decided to check if I could open it in my browser and install it.
To my surprise, it worked. And it works really well quite frankly. Sure, the UI is different, but I’m not at all missing any features.
Did any of you guys try it as well? What’s your opinion?
If not, did you even know that was a possibility? It quite frankly never crossed my mind, because Reddit and other platforms always force you to use an app when you open them in a browser.
I’ve been switching between Mlem and the PWA. I’ve honestly found the PWA to be pretty laggy, with things not loading or the whole app just freezing. Given the connection issues I’m also seeing on Mlem, I suspect the issue is server-side.
Lemmy 0.18 has resolved most of these for me. As the big instances update, hopefully this gets more stable for you!
