Do you use Lemmy in a browser or in an app?

If we find a good app I definitely want to know about it.

[โ€“] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've been using it in the browser so far, but they have some apps, I saw.

[โ€“] PorkButtsNTaters666 2 points 1 year ago

I have tried Jerboa, but it tells me that my login is incorrect when I try to add my account.

[โ€“] PorkButtsNTaters666 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Posting from Jerboa, first try timeout

[โ€“] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago

Trying Jerboa too, now. So far, no timeouts

[โ€“] PorkButtsNTaters666 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I often get time outs on Jerboa, but it looks better than the web interface
