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

If only the launcher I use on android supported homescreen icons :( (AIO)

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 3 points 2 years 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?

[–] sharpsphere@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

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

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.

Oh wauw thank you!

Hey everyone, I just joined 5 minutes ago. Been a Redditor for 7y 2m. I'm actually really going to miss reddit and many of the communities such as r/idiotsincars, r/catastrophicfailures, and well a couple hundred more over followed over the years. I'm hoping I can find more community here though. I never felt connected to the users on Reddit. Maybe it will be different here.

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

[–] Geronimo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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

[–] the_right_god@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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