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

Already did that for Lemmy and Mastodon. I have more problems with Jerboa then benefits.

Both have native apps on Android and iOS that are better imo.

Yes even KBin has an Android app now too.

[โ€“] Decide@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

What's the KBin app called? Last I checked, the iOS Lemmy app is in beta, and the only Android app for Lemmy is Jerboa.

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

[โ€“] MeowKittyWow@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

[โ€“] Serpent10i@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah the auto autorotate is really annoying!

Oh wauw thank you!

Did that with lemmy, but at least in my case it just happens too often that I get an infinite loading circle when switching threads and then I have to reload the entire page, which isn't possible when not in the real browser. Even closing the web app and reopening them doesn't help but once I open the page in Safari it works just fine.

Mlem for iOS just got an update which gives us the compact thread style I much prefer over the current web app look but it seems like I can't edit comments there and I also don't see any notifications so there's still a lot of work to be done before it becomes an option.

And kbin I just don't use on the phone at all as long as we can't collapse comment chains.

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

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

But i dont put icons on my home screen only, only use my app drawer ๐Ÿ˜”

[โ€“] WaterSword@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you use iOS, you can add it to a home screen tab and then hide the tab and it will still appear in the app library.
