I’ve used Lemmur in the past but lately I’ve realized that the web client is perfectly usable on mobile, much more so than most other social media. This is probably a testament to non-profit-driven development because the web client is really light, scales perfectly to an app-like form factor, there’s no weird behavior with the touchscreen instead of a mouse, and it also gives you all the features of the site instead of arbitrary not letting you do more advanced stuff because they want you to download the app. It also has the extra benefit that it syncs my browsing history to desktop so you pick up where you left off. Since making this latest account I have not felt the need to download an app at all and have been right at home using it from the browser.

Then again, I refuse to get the Reddit app and still use old.reddit.com on mobile (it’s just as annoying as you assume and you have to zoom in and out to click on stuff but I’m used to it by now, also I’m barely using Reddit anymore so that helps too) so maybe I’m somewhat unique? Just curious as to if anyone else exclusively uses the Lemmy web client on mobile and what your thoughts on it. Those on the other side, are there any killer features that apps give that I’m missing?

      People have said that Sync and Connect can do it. I’ve never tried either so ymmv.

      PieFed can definitely do it I know - I’ve blocked all users from Lemmy.ml that way:-).

      Otherwise, you have to just do it one-by-one the old-fashioned way, or rely on a site admin to do the work for you (additional details in this post).

        I log in every time. I mean, I wouldn’t want my account to be accessible if someone, such as a law enforcement officer, grabs my phone. I do not save passwords anywhere, not even my password manager. So no one would ever know about this account, the only knowledge of this account’s existence exist in my brain. (unless they have a backdoor in my phone, that is).

        I mean, I post a lot anti-establishment stuff, not a good look if someone finds it. So I’m hoping to hide it as best as I can.
