it's a reddit competitor that lacks features of reddit, including: multireddits, hiding individual posts, card view that doesn't autoplay video, and more but I'm lazy.

I mean it's also a small community built project that doesn't have the money, or resources that reddit has, and hasn't been around as long

Better clients can help, but it takes time for a platform to mature, especially an open source one built with community funding ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

If you wish it was going faster, you might think about contributing/donating if you're able :)

I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won't install lemmys.

I see your points.

However, both Voyager and Photon are websites that access Lemmy.

They have plenty features and there are others as well.

I'm sure there's a hacky workaround for every complaint I might have, I've done a lot of those over the years and I don't see that stopping any time soon. I'm just tired of having to fix things before I can use/enjoy them. Effort is a limited resource. It's current year, shit should just work.

Don't care. I'm not installing another app. It's a website, it should work in a browser.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

What kinds of problems have you ran into using Lemmy in a browser on the phone? I use Firefox and set it to "desktop mode" and haven't had any issues.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy is an api. A website is just another app here. Besides, there are other web interfaces you could use. Have you tried any?

Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Yes! I can't speak to lemmy.world but reddthat (my instance) hosts several web UIs and you can use whatever one you want.

https://old.reddthat.com/ would interest you.

https://voyager.reddthat.com is another popular one.

There's probably info available for your instance if you look for it (they should do a better job of advertising the different UIs).

BTW I respect your dedication to using browser apps for websites. I also try not to install an app if there is a decent mobile UI available on the website. I'll will install an app if its a better experience though.

Jerboa is technically First party. Doesn't brand itself as the Lemmy app though.
