Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

You can now install Lemmygrad as a PWA.

Progressive Web App. It is the technical term for a website that you can kinda install as an app on your mobile. If you open the website on your browser and the open the hamburger menu (3 dots) you will find the option to install it.

Glad to know this. I was hoping the new update would make it compatible with Remmel again, but now I don’t need to.

The update won't make it compatible with remmel unless the dev updates their code sadly. These are tumultuous times of moving fast and breaking things.

It didn't always use the instance icon and name, and it can be used as a PWA on desktop now as well.

That's great! Thanks for doing so much development! :)

Wasn't I already using this with firefox like a year ago? Like I still have the icon on my desktop and use it regularly.

Idk, my browsers wouldn't let me install it before on desktop.

Shit I meant the desktop on my phone, sorry for the confusion if that happened. Main screen? Menu screen? What is called? I'm used to calling the same thing across devices the desktop.

Somehow it was working for me previously but now it doesn't work.

Which browser are you using?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefox. it lets me create the icon but when i launch it the screen randomly flickers and then nothing happens. It was working fine up until just today, possibly related to the update but I don't know.

I had issues with mobile firefox too, although it works fine on lemmy.ml for me and that uses the same version. It might be an issue with lemmygrad specifically.
