I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it’s slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

      Jerboa is a worthy successor of the “Boost for Reddit”. Maybe I am missing some threads on Reddit, but I don’t even want to find out Reddit is dead for me.

        You can install Lemmy as an app directly to your home screen. If you’re using Lemmy on your phone browser, you can install it.

          Ah I see. I’ve never heard the term PWA, but yeah I did that as well for lemmyworld on iOS. My one complaint is there doesn’t seem to be a way to refresh the “app”
