Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you’re used to Apollo that’s a great app for you, even if you do not, it’s still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app

    What issues do you have running it via firefox? It seems fine for me, although I didn’t try with chrome

      Personally, I found it to be very sluggish compared to the inbuilt browser/Chrome, and vulnerable to a weird bug that Firefox seems to have on my device, where the entire browser engine stops working if you multitask/switch between apps, being stuck on a blank black/white screen until you close and restart the app.

        Yeah same for me, firefox install feels sluggish whereas it runs smoother and faster with chrome. Maybe it has to do with how every site is optimized for chromium browsers nowadays.

        I also have this, and I often have to force-kill the entire Firefox app in order to make it come back to life.

        I wish Firefox on mobile was overall just “better”

        Suggested method is to “install” the app: go to Settings, there’s an option to install the app as a PWA there.

          Unfortunately, that didn’t really work properly for me when using Firefox on Android, and still runs into all the issues. Judging by the little firefox icon it put in, it installed as a Firefox web application, effectively running within the Firefox container, meaning it’s still vulnerable to all the others that Firefox seems to have on my device.
