Maybe a controversial opinion, but Lemmy is pretty great as a PWA (beehaw.org)

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.

There was an update to lemmy just now, someone said it broke jerboa. I guess beehaw has installed it already. But I think the website is preferable to jerboa in its current state anyway.

Jerboa just broke on mine right after I made my other comment. So now I am using the web interface.

I belive ther is an updated version of jerboa available that works just no through the play store yet.
