I hope this isn't a question that's already been asked to death, in app search for "mbin" isn't all that helpful.

I'm still in the stages of looking for a permanent home here in the fediverse. So far mbin has really caught my eye because it's basically Lemmy+ for all intents and purposes (at least for mine). I'm not all that happy with what looks like the only Android app though.

So I was wondering if there were any plans to add mbin functionality to any existing Lemmy apps? Even if I used a Lemmy app solely for the 'Threads' or Lemmy section of mbin, then used the web page or only mbin app for everything else, I would be fine with that.

I tried to see if I could sign in with the app that I'm currently using (Eternity), with the kbin.earth instance and no luck. So obviously the API is just that much different.

Are any devs here thinking of expanding their apps in future? Or is there one I've missed? I've seen more than one app with the description "For Lemmy and the Fediverse", but what exactly is meant by "and the Fediverse" is unclear.

Very nice! I actually just checked it out in Firefox Android and it's actually not that bad, not at all what I was picturing in terms of large images taking up more than the screen lol. It does have a couple of graphical oddities that go away with a refresh but I'll maybe reply to that email that I got when I subscribed with screenshots, like it asked. Later when I'm doing stuff at my desk.

So if it takes a while for the app or I'm not satisfied or whatever, it wouldn't be too painful for me to just use Firefox until something better comes along.

Yeah for now PieFed is web only. IMO the website works well enough on mobile.

It's quite easy to develop new themes so making a compact version for mobile would be easy for someone who knows CSS.

I'm going to just try again here. I've woken up ill today, in a bit of a brainfog and right now just doing this from the Lemmy app that I use is the easiest. I'm going to get all of the text out of the way at the top of this post and put the screenshots at the bottom. First screenshot is the issue I'm facing when I first load the page. Second screenshot is what it looks like after multitasking for a bit and returning to Firefox (at which point the page reloads, reloading manually without the multitasking didn't fix it however, so I'm assuming this a memory management thing?).

I feel like I should also note that my phone isn't great at all. And I'm running a custom firmware. So if this is an odd issue that no one else has ever encountered, I'm prepared to re-flash the vanilla firmware to my phone and try again.

I also feel like I should just alert you that in your welcome email, you mention to reply to the email with any issues. However, the email is a 'noreply' that returns "address not found". I'm guessing that the wording in the welcome email is from an earlier time and hasn't been changed yet.
