How are people accessing this? I'm using Jerboa for Lemmy because it was the first result in the app store. I'm honestly a little disoriented.
I'm just using Firefox, but that's how I access Mastodon and Reddit and everything else anyway.
So the guys developing Lemmy are feeling a bit caught off guard with this reddit migration. The lead dev has mentioned it was bad timing because they hadn't yet got the performance enhancements finished that they had been working on. A week ago there were only 1,000 users that had been online in the last month. That's likely to hit 10,000 in the next few days.
Anyway what I'm getting at is Lemmy is new, and seeing a surge earlier than perhaps was hoped (though you can't plan these things). Because Lemmy is new, there is only Jeboa, the Android app made by the Lemmy developers. If you're on iOS, there is also only one (and it's a bit trickier to install, as I understand it, as it's not on the app store).
The only alternative to these right now is the website, but that's not necessarily bad. From your mobile browser you should be able to save the site to your home screen as a Progressive Web App. This means it's actually just a webpage, but your phone displays it as if it's an app (hides browser stuff). Lots of people say this is working better for them than the apps.
