      Same, still has a lot of missing features though. The one thing that would be a major improvement is to be able to open links between communities and threads. It always interprets everything as an email address for some reason. !Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

        Yes! I’ve been pretty happy with Jerboa so far but this is definitely my main issue with it.

      Give it time. Like one solid day and you will be an expert in no time. Jerboa is nice but it’s only in alpha stage. use lemmy on the mobile browser and desktop. you gotta get used to it though first. Just like Reddit when you first started using it

        I agree with this. I’ve been using Jerboa when needed (personally prefer it to the mobile browser), but if I have the option I’m just browsing using my laptop. I’m sure that there is going to be a point where mobile apps like Jerboa are more streamlined, which I look forward to. I’ve always been a mobile user first and foremost.

      Also using Jerboa because it is seemingly the only app that’s currently out there for android. I wish one of the 3rd party reddit app devs would bring their app over to lemmy.

          Yeah I’ve been getting that a bit. I think that’s the error that you get when your instance of lemmy is getting overloaded and servers having a difficult time keeping up with the users.

            Yeah. That’s what I’ve been assuming also. But didn’t Lemmy.ml just upgrade?

        It’s going to take time because the APIs are different. Someone (I wish I had noted who) was working on an API shim so that they could be added more easily.

          Oh, I didn’t realize. Confusing…

          There should really be some identifier in kbin so I can tell if users are on the same platform or not…

            Yeah, there isn’t an obvious way to tell. I only know because their instance’s address is lemmy.pt.

            Although, annoyingly, Lemmy doesn’t show that part if someone has a display name set. Not sure if kbin does though.

            There should be an easier way to tell.
