    Hi all, I’ve been on Lemmy for like a week so am clearly an expert.

    To sum up: Lemmur is defunct, you want Jerboa for Android or Mlem for iOS. But on Android you can also install your home instance as an app to your home screen (in mobile Chrome, hit the three dots menu and “add to home screen” or “install app”) and basically use the mobile website, which I have to be honest works a lot better than Jerboa in a lot of ways.

      Jerboa’s latest update (0.33, I think?) is a big improvement, it feels pretty good now. Not perfect yet, of course, but very nice progress in the last few days!

    Try Jerboa instead. Lemmur, I believe isn’t very actively developed. Jerboa works really well.

          Is there any way to browse communities like on the web site? I was wondering if there was something under the three dots up there, but they don’t seem to do anything.

            I’m not sure. Only used Jerboa so far (needed something to fill the Sync spot on my phone). I imagine there are plenty of features to add and bugs to work out

              Here’s hoping people stick around after the blackouts on Reddit end. I’ll still be kicking around here on the various instances. Warts aside I think I like it better here.
