the problem is mobile, using browser there sucks

[–] atomWood@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Try using wefwef.app It’s a great mobile browser friendly way to access Lemmy.

No it's renamed to Voyager, vger is just the url

[–] JuvenoiaAgent@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha, a Star Trek reference, I like it.

[–] DaCrazyJamez@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a reference to the Voyager space program,which followed the Apollo space program. Apollo was the name of the reddit app for iOS that was very popular, and had many of the same features

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the URL vger is a reference to this.

[–] randomuser38529@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s weird. I’m currently on Memmy, when I tap your link it stops at V , skipping ‘ger entirely. Though I ended up inside of Memory Alpha, all I got was:

V

Memmy didn't copy the link correctly - the apostrophe is tripping it up. Search "V'ger" on Memory Alpha.

[–] Jdreben@mastodon.world 1 points 1 year ago

@rbits you are absolutely correct. I edited my post but edits may not propagate to all servers

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is really great, thank you very much!

I like Jerboa, but I have two lemmy accounts, and this will be a great improvement for browsing my second account.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa switches back and forth between accounts pretty well, I've found.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't realize for some reason that I could do this ayyy

[–] squishy3000@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Fantastic experience, I endorse this webapp

[–] atomWood@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, you’re totally right. I hadn’t noticed the change.

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Easier to remember the m.lemmy.world link, should work for any instance afaik

[–] atomWood@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps, but m.lemmy.world is just using wefwef anyway.

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Its Voyager now, but there are many links that all connect to it. Just saying its easier to remember than wefwef since thats not even the name of the app anymore

[–] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

You can install Firefox Nightly and setup an addon collection on the FF website and use pretty much all desktop addons on your mobile Firefox browser. Then you can install TamperMonkey and search GreasyFork for custom usercripts that add enhancements to the website.

So, no, it's not a problem.

[–] becool@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good advice but too smug for my taste. I give this post a C- and a downvote.

[–] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the feedback.

[–] eric5949@lemmy.cloudaf.site 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or, I could just hit download in the play store and sign in. It's great you can do that. Not everyone wants to go through that effort though.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Or I could install Voyager and have a better user experience in 5 seconds. I love Firefox but the mobile experience is highly dependent on the care a site puts into their mobile site.

[–] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The solution is Linux Mobile, where browser becomes the only option as apps don't tend to be available, but it's a full fledged browser so it can use all the appropriate addons. Typing this from my PinePhone Pro with keyboard case, postmarketOS, LibreWolf with the same addon set that I have on my desktop and laptop because Firefox Sync keeps everything synced together.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I mean, Waydroid exists, and so do native Linux Lemmy apps.

[–] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

True, but I was always an old.reddit user even when I used Reddit and Android (Firefox on Android). Now I use mlmym.org on my PinePhone. The experience is pretty much the same, except now I have a keyboard to type faster.

[–] DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube 2 points 1 year ago

PWA's are the happy place in-between browser and app on mobile. Voyager is great, especially when installed as a PWA.

[–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heck, I'm even using Voyager on my "desktop setup" iPad!

DuckDuckGo is magical.
