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.

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

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.

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

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!

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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

[–] bleuy007@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Thank you just did this with Chrome on Android! Easier than having to open a new chrome tab every time for sure

[–] Kittiesmom13@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] seluar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Geronimo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] NumberedDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh wauw thank you!

[–] AndreTelevise@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

PWAs only work on Chromium web browsers, though there are some that install on Firefox on Mobile. Yes, I can jsut use Brave, but it's syncing is awful and I bet there are old accounts of mine floating with an expired passphrase. Granted, I now save my bookmarks, passwords etc. in various other places where I can access them from any device anywere.

Is there a way to make the PWA not open a new tab each time in Firefox though?
