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.

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

Thank you for posting, didn't know this.
I'd like to add that for Android users installing Kbin, if you can't find the app anywhere, it's listed as "/kbin" at the bottom of your app drawer because of the backslash. Lemmy users will find it sorted under "L".

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

Thanks for the heads up! Scrolling is smoother now while waiting for jerboa to fix their app.
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!
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?
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.
Weeee, created a lemmy account so it stop eating comments when I post from kbin.

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.
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.
Welcome home, friend
On Firefox mobile, the back button does not work for me when using the installed app. Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah. I had to hit back multiple times for it to work.
This is amazing! Thanks for the info
What the hell, I was just recently talking about it. I'm happy to hear it's already a thing. Thanks!
has anyone any idea how to change the language? I'm unable to do that in my profile settings
