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”
Progressive? Conservatives disliked that
This should be pinned to the top of every instance lol
Still a better user experience than the official Reddit app.
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.
I love that this is possible and I gave it a go but for some reason scrolling in the browser is really hard to do, it keeps adding new posts while I’m scrolling and moves everything around making it near impossible to actually read, I thought it might be just loading still but it doesn’t ever come to a stop, not sure if this is just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Any updates on Mlem? I tried installing TestFlight but it says the beta is full.
Memmy is another one they’re testing and it’s way more stable than Mlem
Thanks for the 🔌 let me know if you run into any issues
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Been trying the place and just have jerboa a shot in comparison. The actual app is better by miles. So much faster than the browser.
Clean animations, simple tap to collapse threads
App > browser for now
tap to collapse threads
I haven’t been able to collapse threads on Jerboa, how do you do that? Am I missing something?
At first it wasn’t doing it for me but since last night it has
Tapping anywhere in the text of a comment seems to do it, holding like i would back on Boost for Reddit simply removes the extra toolbar at the bottom, and the title area did nothing
Sometimes it just doesn’t but i find restarting the app fixes that, though i usually just move on to the next topic when that happens
Maybe the F-Droid version is just behind, I can’t get that to work. Thanks for the input!
I am on the FDroid and have had this feature since I installed
F-Droid is always behind. Get it from the GitHub
Thanks for that. It’s actually a lot better than the app I’m currently using, lol. (Though, I’m sure it will improve).
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.
Just FYI you can do this in the new version of MacOS (Sonoma) and add sites to your dock which is quite nice.
Until the websocket issue is fixed, I’m gonna stick with Jebora
If only the launcher I use on android supported homescreen icons :( (AIO)
On Firefox mobile, the back button does not work for me when using the installed app. Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah. I had to hit back multiple times for it to work.
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.
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.
Yes, I made two small contributions till now. The maintainers seem pretty responsive when new PRs are opened and open to the stuff people are adding. Did not have a thorough look through all the code of the app yet but what I have seen seems structured quite good and I look forward to working more with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Am a Java Dev for work, quite some time since I last worked on an Android App but making small contributions first should get you started
I’ll give it a shot as I have time. I’m primarily a Python developer with experience in Go, C, and a smattering of other languages. Should be easy enough to learn enough to contribute some small PRs.
Think so too, good luck 👍
Nice to hear that it’s active
Actually I ran a current development build of the app which seems to have the feature already. There is a small chain icon next to the vote arrows which jumps to the comment and it’s parent and allows to load even more context. So maybe it will ship in the next app update when release :)
Just encountered that for the first time with this comment lmao
