Yeah! Kbin PWA is great. (Though there's a very small amount of sidescroll that makes my frontend web dev heart cry a bit... maybe I should open a pull request for it :))

Though it seems to override my screen orientation settings, making it hard to read while lying in bed XD

Same here, specifically it does not seem to respect the auto-rotate off setting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah the auto autorotate is really annoying!

I had never heard of this and I was really confused how I got a kbin app on my phone. When I got home and tried to "install the app" on my tablet I couldn't figure out how to install it. I searched on the Play Store and couldn't find it. I double checked the app information on my phone's icon and it said "Installed from the Google Play Store", so I was really confused.

FYI, for Firefox on android, I had to use Firefox Nightly for this, as the main version doesn't support PWAs (for some reason)

Edit: I take it back, when I tried to do the install on regular Firefox a few days ago, it didn't work. It does work now, so regular Firefox works for this!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It does support them. At least on Android 13 and Firefox version 114.1.1.

On the same version as you and I've installed this on Firefox but it behaves like a regular website (has an address bar, tabs, etc.). Some other sites installed like this don't have those.

Edit: I tried installing it again and now it works as intended. Maybe some backend update between when I first installed and now?

[–] sharpsphere 3 points 2 years ago

I had the exact same experience as you. No idea why, but you aren't alone.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Not sure, to be honest. It worked for me from the day I created my account.

Also, lol, lemmy is eating my comments.

Created Lemmy account in case this happens again.

Thanks for the correction, not sure why the PWA install didn't work for me on regular Firefox a few days ago, but it does work now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

What the hell, I was just recently talking about it. I'm happy to hear it's already a thing. Thanks!

If only the launcher I use on android supported homescreen icons :( (AIO)

Any updates on Mlem? I tried installing TestFlight but it says the beta is full.

[–] prumbles 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Memmy is another one they’re testing and it’s way more stable than Mlem

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Oh wauw thank you!

[–] Kittiesmom13 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you!! I literally had no idea about this. You rock!

[–] seluar 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the heads up! Scrolling is smoother now while waiting for jerboa to fix their app.

[–] cod 3 points 2 years ago

Does anyone know of any apps for Lemmy on iOS? I’m using Mlem and Memmy through Test Flight, as well as the Lemmy web app as explained in the post, but I’d like to know if there’s any more I could test out as well

[–] Geronimo 3 points 2 years ago

I'm signed up on both, now. So let it be known; I am Geronimo

On Firefox mobile, the back button does not work for me when using the installed app. Anyone else seeing this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah. I had to hit back multiple times for it to work.
