On iOS: tap the share button in browser => add to home screen
On Android: tap the 3 dot menu button in browser => tap “install” or “add to home screen”
This should be pinned to the top of every instance lol
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.
Makes it very difficult to open posts in a new tab though, I scroll and open like 6 posts to go through afterwards.
Until the websocket issue is fixed, I’m gonna stick with Jebora
I use jerboa for lemmy. Not sure how different it is though. Never used that webapp
I’m primarily using the pwa for now. Jerboa has a nicer UI in most cases, but pwa is a lot smoother, less buggy, and external links open up a lot faster. Also, jerboa has a bunch of minor annyonaces, like trying to select text and it keeps minimizing the comment instead, or how it opens Lemmy links in an external browser.
A bit more devtime and I’ll switch to it, especially if they add a feature to group multiple communities in a single entry.
I find that jerboa has some missing features that are there in the web app. Things like being able to go from a comment in your inbox to that same comment in context in it’s thread.
It does have that feature already, you need to press the link button in the inbox below the comment.
That works for you in the app? It works for me on the web but not in the app.
Mybe I will try to add that feature to the app tomorrow if no other contributer hasn’t already. Development of the app seems to move quite fast and a bunch of people are adding stuff. But I agree, there are still a lot of smaller and bigger things missing or wonky.
Have you written for the app before? How did yiu find it? I took a very quick look and plan to try working on it at some point but I don’t know kotlin at all. It’ll take some spinup for me.
