Coming over from Reddit; this is my first step into the Fediverse. I’ve heard stories about how all the servers are connected, since it’s all the same protocol… but I have no idea how that works in practice.

Either way, I’d want to start using Lemmy more. I primarily Reddit using the Relay for Reddit app; if there was an app of a similar quality it would make switching a lot easier. Does one exist? How does all this work together? Sorry for the noob questions, haha.

    The android app people are currently linking is closed source, and we’re not sure who made it.

    There is a really slick one called lemmur being made, should be a few weeks till its done:

    I am currently using Firefox with its function Add to Home screen, which makes pretty usable Firefox window with Lemmy. All in all, I am quite content with the current state of it. While waiting for Lemmur to be finished, it is a decent alternative, I’d say.

        Basically, ye. But hey, if it works well enough, why not use it.

        Is it confirmed to be malware malware or just malware as in proprietary and therefore unverifiable?

          I don’t know if it is malware. I use it currently but the dev has never responded to my requests for source code.

          I will look into Lemmur when it is released.

            That app doesn’t ask for any permission, it’s hard to be “malware” on Android this way.

                Who cares? This is even a testing instance and I wouldn’t build reputation here anyway.

    Yeah there is an Android app. It lags behind the web version of Lemmy a bit though.
