Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

I'm loving it!

As an aside, I know a lot of people are using Jerboa for their mobile browsing app of choice, but I've discovered that you can just use the Lemmy progressive web app (PWA) instead and get the same experience as desktop. In Chrome, login to whatever Lemmy instance you're registered with, click the triple dot menu, and click "install app". You'll get a "Lemmy" app downloaded and added to your homescreen that looks and functions just like the website.

Awesome tip! Just tried to install with Firefox on mobile and it works too.
