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

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

has anyone any idea how to change the language? I'm unable to do that in my profile settings

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.

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

On the same version as you and I've installed this on Firefox but it behaves like a regular website (has an address bar, tabs, etc.). Some other sites installed like this don't have those.

Edit: I tried installing it again and now it works as intended. Maybe some backend update between when I first installed and now?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I had the exact same experience as you. No idea why, but you aren't alone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not sure, to be honest. It worked for me from the day I created my account.

Also, lol, lemmy is eating my comments.

Created Lemmy account in case this happens again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Weeee, created a lemmy account so it stop eating comments when I post from kbin.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I had never heard of this and I was really confused how I got a kbin app on my phone. When I got home and tried to "install the app" on my tablet I couldn't figure out how to install it. I searched on the Play Store and couldn't find it. I double checked the app information on my phone's icon and it said "Installed from the Google Play Store", so I was really confused.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh wauw thank you!

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is amazing! Thanks for the info
