    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.

      I just wish it used screen real-estate better. I’m using it right now. I wish it could replace RIF.

        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

        Using Mlem myself and with the recent update it’s much more stable and definitely more responsive than the web app. Really scratches that Apollo-shaped itch.

    The WPA’s layout is not crazy good on mobile, but at least I got some real estate.

    Now, how can I contribute? I’m a frontend web developer.

    Just FYI you can do this in the new version of MacOS (Sonoma) and add sites to your dock which is quite nice.

      I kept getting some json error with Jerboa. It’d just show a dark screen. I didn’t try to troubleshoot at all, just used the mobile site.

        The not being able to click on a message in the inbox and get to the comment in context is a big one for me.

          Yeah, that’s the main issue I have with it, but it’s generally pretty good and I’m using it anyway.

          Also: No option to open links in real browser rather than the web view thing No notifications for replies (not that important)

    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.

    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

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