Let us know how you are accessing lemmy (or reddit). Both are going to see some big updates shortly, reddit in a negative way, while lemmy is only improving services.

I am putting together some information to help new users get the most out of lemmy, so that it feels user-friendly and easily accessible. Stay tuned

    For those of you using lemmy in a mobile browser, most browsers support “installing” the site as a progressive web app (PWA). This will create a shortcut which opens the site fullscreen without the usual browser address bar, giving it a much more “appy” feel.

    For Safari on iOS:

    1. Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
    2. Click on the share button located at the center bottom of the screen
    3. Scroll to add to the home button at the bottom of the UI
    4. Click on add to the home button
    5. Click on add button

    For the Chrome, Firefox and most other mobile browsers:

    1. Browse to your local lemmy instance (e.g. lemmy.world)
    2. Tap the 3-dot Firefox menu
    3. Select Install

    I’m not familiar with Iphones though.

    I’m using the jerboa app on my (android) phone. I’ve used the website a couple of times (installed as an an app) but have found the app easier… I’ve always used the official Reddit app (really only been on Reddit for just over a year and a half) and only using it to check out the sewing subs cos they don’t seem to have moved over … yet…

    But agree that Reddit is very quickly losing its appeal, and I definitely prefer it here on Lemmy…

    I’m using Jerboa 90% of the time for Lemmy. For Reddit I was 100% in RIF, but I’m off of there now ofc.

    Hi! I’m using the Jerboa app on an Android phone. Not using reddit much, but if I do, it’s through the website. So glad to see this community here! Thank you for all that you do.

    Right now for Lemmy I am using the Safari web browser page bookmarked onto my iPhone home screen. I have both Memmy and Mlem installed on my iPhone (beta versions), but both are missing a lot of basic features at the moment. So I mostly use the bookmarked safari page. I am eagerly waiting for iOS apps to be released.

    An even split of desktop browser and Jeroba.

    And for Reddit, an even split between RiF and old.reddit (with RES) on desktop.

    I’m accessing this via Kbin.social (ie via Kbin, not quite Lemmy) on the ios Arc browser (no app yet for kbin, afaik), and am still connected to (but not actively using) Reddit via Apollo ios app, while it lasts.

    Here I use mobile Safari and desktop Safari. I only peek at Reddit for a couple of health related subs that didn’t migrate, and I use Bacon Reader. Once that goes away I’ll use old.reddit.com in the browser until they kill that too
