I’m trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.

I know there’s a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I’m not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

    I love Jerboa, but can’t right now because lemmy.world doesn’t support the latest update. Currently using Liftoff for the meantime.

      Same here. Thought it was fine, despite warning. But definitely not, Jerboa randomly crashes every few minutes.

      There will need to be a Lemmy update (with captcha support) before Lemmy.world will update (to prevent bots). Should happen this week. Will try Connect now, thanks to tips here.

      I’m browsing lemmy.world with Jerboa right now, I just get a warning that this instance is using an older version and to tell the admin to upgrade.

        I’ve noticed today that I can’t sort by anything other than “local/active” in jerboa.

        My phone updated last night, so maybe it’s related to that?

        But it’s super annoying, as it makes it impossible to see new content.

          Yeah, you need to subscribe to some of the ‘subreddits’ on fediverse. At least that’s been my experience. Otherwise you will not get suggested communities.

          I think you might be able to manually change it after you open the app. I have the same issue, and my server seems like updated (I didn’t see the warning).

            Nah, the “default” stuff never worked for me. It’s always booted into the local/active. I’ve had to manually switch it since I’ve gotten the app.

            As of today though I can’t even do that. When I try to manually switch, it does it for about a second, then insta flips back. :/
