  • I was using Jerboa because i was used to Sync for reddit. But, I got a bit tired of how rough around the edges it is, so I switched to just installing my Lemmy instance front page as Firefox “app” on my phone and realized it’s not that bad as a UI, so sticking with it for now.

    I’ll probably try apps again in the future but I feel more open to “installing” good web apps now. Incidentally I tried the same trick with Reddit’s mobile interface after Sync stopped working and realized it’s also not so awful as I remembered. I did prefer Sync but I’ll see how it goes with this method. So it’s mobile web interfaces on Android for me for now.

    Having said that, in both cases I think I’d prefer a more “simple HTML” type experience like old reddit over these dynamic SPA things they both have going.
