Which apps do currently work with Beehaw? And where do i get them? I tried Jerboa from F-Droid and Google Play. It says 17.4 is to old. Lemmur from F-Droid didn’t find Beehaw at all. Couldn’t find other apps at both places. I’m using a Fairphone 4 with Android 12.
BTW: i’m rather unexperienced with smartphones, hadn’t bought a new one since 2012. (no mouse, no keyboard, no decent screen, not even bash; finicky things!)
Thanks!
Edit: Connect works so far. Thanks everybody!
Try Thunder from F-Droid or Connect, Liftoff, or Summit from the Play Store. Connect and Liftoff are the 2 best IMO.
Right here, those are the answers☝️
Thank you! Answering with Connect right now. Works fine so far.
It’s strange that none of them turned up when i searched for “Lemmy Apps”.
The Lemmy app space is super new and search indexing algorithms take a while to catch up to what’s new
Well, i just assumed something like the play store has an index about all the stuff they host. I used Debian for most of the last decade, so i might be a bit spoiled.
Play store your only chance is to search “lemmy” and hope you can find what you’re looking for intermingled in all the Motorhead shit they want to sell you
For other apps i got better results using a search engine like startpage. I put in a few keywords and find more links for the play store than from the inside. lol
The play store does not exist to help you find the things you want. It exists to pipeline you to things that will help Google make money. I feel like a lot of us are in a place right now where we’re collectively realizing what people have been trying to tell us for years: reliance on for-profit digital corporations results in lesser experiences than putting in some extra work ourselves to create independently owned and operated not for profit digital tools
Unfortunately, because we’ve collectively as a society been so reliant on those for-profit tools, there’s currently a gap that the open-source tools don’t close in that they haven’t been receiving the development resources they need to provide the full service we need them to. I still find them to be better, but currently things like Lemmy, KBin, and Searx are behind the curve of what people are expecting them to be because until a month ago, people who are relying on them now weren’t really thinking of them, maybe thinking they’d switch when the tools were more ready, or perhaps thinking “why switch when Reddit or Google are already fine”

I am currently trying out Connect for lemmy
Me same from Google play. The one downside is that it may not be FOSS. I may go back to Jerboa when it works again for that reason. Otherwise I like it and it is one of the close popular apps on Play other than Jerboa.
WefWef.app in your browser will allow you to install a PWA (Progressive Web App) that will act like an app. Log in with Beehaw and enjoy.
Don’t even need to install that. Use your standard web browser on the phone, go to https://beehaw.org, and then use the menu options to ‘Add to home’ or ‘Install’.
yeh, but the standard lemmy pwa (like beehaw’s) isn’t close to being as nice as WefWef
I’m using connect
I’m using Jerboa and that message doesn’t stop you from using Beehaw, it will go away once Beehaw updates their client to the new version.Nevermind I just updated the app and now I can’t use Beehaw…
I use Jerboa 0.0.34 from the IzzyOnDroid repo. I got it to log in by quickly opening the login page before it could load lemmy.ml and crash.
you might wanna update. I don’t have that issue and a TON of bugs have been patched since that version. I recommend clearing your cache tho, seems to resolve some issues from the GitHub issues I’ve seen
I’m using the latest version of Jerboa now that beehaw has updated.
