Reddit is blocking logins on mobile for some users, asking them to use the official Reddit app (www.ghacks.net)

Some Reddit users have noticed that they can't sign-in to their accounts anymore on mobile, as the option to do so has been removed for them. Reddit has made it difficult in the past for users to access the site on mobile in browsers. The company's main intention is to get users to use the official Reddit application instead.

Fellow boost user! Would be great if he made a version of Boost for Lemmy, I'm just so used to that UI.

Jerboa is designed to be reminiscent of Boost, but it just isn't the same yet...

Agreed. It's working, but the bugs and problems are pretty noticeable. The comments from the last thread viewed are always visible for about 2 seconds when I click on a new thread, and I can't scroll down on my settings page, so I'm a bit limited on customization.

Embedded media in comments was a pleasant surprise though

I just asked in another thread for an app lol I'll have to check out this one.

The only issue I have is I can't directly reply to replies to my comments from the inbox. I have to tap on the username and search for the comment. Makes responding tedious.

Great to see this, I thought I was simply to dumb to find the gesture or button!

The biggest problem for me right now is that you can't interact with anything in your inbox.

You get notifications about replies, but then you have to manually navigate to that comment thread.

Long press in the spot in red and actions will appear. Its not very intuitive and might be a bug.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Whaaaat why there?

Thanks, that makes everything so much easier.

I have it installed as well but as a dark theme user the flashing transitions was starting to get a little annoying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I installed an update yesterday and that bug is fixed now.
