I'm loving it!
As an aside, I know a lot of people are using Jerboa for their mobile browsing app of choice, but I've discovered that you can just use the Lemmy progressive web app (PWA) instead and get the same experience as desktop. In Chrome, login to whatever Lemmy instance you're registered with, click the triple dot menu, and click "install app". You'll get a "Lemmy" app downloaded and added to your homescreen that looks and functions just like the website.
On iPhone you can do similar with Safari. "Add to Home Screen" on the share menu.
There's also the native app, Mlem. But it's really still in an alpha stage. The website is much more usable right now.
I’ve been using Mlem and am enjoying it, and the dev is fairly responsive and updates frequently. I hope to see it grow and improve. The Lemmy PWA on both my phone and on windows doesn’t have any navigation so I couldn’t figure out how to go back once I opened a thread. Unless I am missing something!
Good to hear about the dev. I'm hopeful for the app don't get me wrong, it's just not finished yet.
For me just swiping from the left edge goes back.
Swiping lol I didn’t think to try that! Lol thank you!
Awesome tip! Just tried to install with Firefox on mobile and it works too.
personally i dont like apps especially on mobile as ive had negative experiences with them (my wifi is shit) but thats cool to know (yo i just noticed i said apps instead of web apps xD)
What's the benefit over visiting the website, is it just less steps to open?
Update: I just like having the app sitting in my homescreen
