Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.

    Well, there’s the thing, you need a browser. You’d be surprised how many newer Reddit users access the site primarily or even exclusively on their phones, and who tend to use apps rather than their mobile browser.

      Artemis is in the works for a native android client, but, also, kbin is a Progressive Web App on mobile. By that I mean, you can go to the site with chrome, firefox, etc, click the menu, and find “Install” or “Install App”. That will give you an icon to put on your home screen, which will just open the site like a standalone app. But using your browser. Which means if you use Firefox mobile, you can still use extensions and user scripts and such if you want to.

      I use kbin primarily on a browser (firefox) on mobile. My only complaint is the side menu options for aubscribing/blocking being located at the bottom of the page instead of higher up.

        If you press the hamburger menu button at the top it opens a sidebar that has a subscribe button as well!

          Oh sweet! Wonder if I was blind and didn’t see it or if it was one of the recent changes.

          Now I have no complaints!
