Firefox is absolutely horrendous on mobile. A lot of websites don't render properly, or when scrolling everything jumps around. Browsing Facebook is especially bad. Also UX is a lot worse than competing browsers.

Racoon for lemmy Grayjay for video Antennapod for podcasts

Racoon for lemmy

This is the 1st time I decided to check about this (I have heard that name before here), after a 1st glance it looks a lot like Boost for Lemmy, and since Boost seems to be the best working client for me at this moment (image and posts load for example is way faster than Summit, Voyager and Eternity), in terms of speed Sync for Lemmy is faster, but it is so broken with my current instance that is not worth to use it anymore.

I might install Raccoon soonish :)

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

About the racoon recommendation have you tried other Lemmy apps? Curious what made you choose racoon

[–] RigshawRick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have tried one other app which was Jerboa for lemmy but found Racoon easier to use so I stuck with it ever since.

Just curious how people really enjoy twitch. I can't spend time just watching people play games or doing stuff while I could be doing things

I'm pretty basic:

  1. Sync
  2. Chrome
  3. Reddit
  4. Antenna Pod
  5. Guardian newspaper app
  6. Google Play Books
  7. Libby
[–] Alphamars@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why sync over the other lemmy apps?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I like:

  • customizable swipe left/right gestures,
  • swiping to close a post,
  • being able to set the font size of the different parts of the post list,
  • different display formats for different communities,
  • switching between accounts easily,
  • the markdown hints in the editor,

I don't think any of these are unique. I just like this implementation.

[–] Stomata@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You still using chrome.... 😮
