So Jerboa broke on my phone just now and I didn’t want to stop browsing Lemmy. Unfortunately no suitable alternative was found so I just decided to check if I could open it in my browser and install it.

To my surprise, it worked. And it works really well quite frankly. Sure, the UI is different, but I’m not at all missing any features.

Did any of you guys try it as well? What’s your opinion?

If not, did you even know that was a possibility? It quite frankly never crossed my mind, because Reddit and other platforms always force you to use an app when you open them in a browser.

    I don’t have it installed right now but I’m pretty sure the system-wide back-swipe gesture still work here, doesn’t it?

      Yeah, I discovered that after posting that comment. I never use those gestures, so I forgot to try that.

        How do you go back in an app? Do you always tap the button at the top? For me that’s super impractical and I even got a small iPhone.

          I can’t reach the left side of the screen with one hand anyways, so both ways are similarly uncomfortable.
