Is there a mobile app for Lemmy/Beehaw? (beehaw.org)

I was just curious as its easier to access a mobile app then opening a browser and going to beehaw

(I know it sounds like I'm being lazy as I could make a shortcut however, the more lazy you can be to access the site the more people will be willing to be active as each step that has to be taken to access something a percantage of people will not do that step (I wish I knew what effect/ rule this was i can't seem to find it))

Soon, we may be able to use any of the reddit apps.

That's a pretty cool approach, I hope the old reddit apps stay up for that.

Jerboa for Android and Mlem for iOS, but it's still in test flight.

[–] vortechs2000@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Mlem has been a good option for me on my phone so far.

[–] hamtooth@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, I am using mlem. The only problem I had was an issue with setting up testflight — I had to copy and paste the code from the URL that mlem gives you

Jerboa

@Arystique I heard about it https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jerboa/

Downloaded this, Kinda neat. kinda feels like im being flashbanged everytime i change pages though.

[–] Cipher@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

It could definitely be smoothed out a fair bit.

I'm not yet familiar enough with Lemmy interactions to understand the ways that it's lacking, but I see a lot of simple UI improvements that would make a world of difference.

It's a start!

Its seems like a good app in concept but I still find it a bit lacking in features and polish. Thankfully the amount of people working on it has skyrocketed, so I imagine it should be pretty functional in the near future.

It keeps saying "wrong credentials" when I try to log in. Has anyone had the same issue and found a solution ?

[–] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it happened to me.

I tried again later and it worked, so no idea what the issue was, unfortunately.

[–] pumpkin@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are two mobile apps, one for Android and one for iOS. Check here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/

[–] JohSny@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Mlem is still in test flight, not on the app store yet.

[–] kiwi@kale.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You might be able to save the website as a progressive web app to your home screen?

[–] Treevan@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

This is what I've done and at this point, I prefer to Jerboa, feels exactly like an app.

In iOS, I opened it in Safari, then made a shortcut. It works okay, with the exception of the navigation buttons. I'm kinda working around it for now.
