At first I thought this is a browser issue, then I installed Twitter as PWA which works just fine as when I put the phone sideway, there should be a prompt to enter landscape mode instead of entering automatically(Unless you have the phone set to auto-rotate).

Lemmy PWA doesn’t have this issue.

@Chuck-Shepherd505@kbin.social Same with Vivaldi. Quite annoying

My current solution is to enable airplane mode before refreshing the site so that I can “Add to desktop” instead of installing, the downside is the icon will become auto generated alphabet.

I came here to say the same thing. The lemmy PWA respects the system auto rotate setting. Kbin does not. I made the PWA using chrome.

@ernest This is a huge drawback of the user experience, should be easily fixed by modifying the manifest file. At the time of writing this comment the issue still persists.
