All things Reddit

Like it or not, Reddit is still a big player in the internet game. Let's bring together the best of both worlds, shall we?

Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we're less developed. But do you know what's even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we'll improve and mature over time.

First of all - we need a good mobile app. Jerboa on android is usable, but definitely not worthwhile. I can't tell how many times I accidentally quit the app while swiping. I believe Boost for lemmy will push it forward. Just give it time...

Edit: Jerboa was just updated and it's fixed!

A good app is key. Even though the mobile website works pretty well lots of people prefer having an app. Have you tried any other apps? Here's a comprehensive list of current apps in development: https://lemdro.id/post/4319. Maybe you can find an available one that works better for you than Jerboa until Boost is available. I think most of these apps are very new, so like you say we have to give it time while they get improved through further development.

I'm waiting for Sync. Sync for reddit was amazing and it will be converted to Lemmy in about a mont.

I used Boost for Reddit for a long time and now looking forward for it for lemmy. I'll try out Jerboa while waiting.
