A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm trying out Jerboa but also definitely prefer the current web interface as a PWA on Android. I'd rather have just a great responsive mobile and desktop web interface as my main way to use Lemmy.
I think that we get too used to relying on mobile apps because the corpo sites don't care about doing anything beyond the bare minimum cookie-cutter UI to get users, and so we rely on this party apps to actually provide useful features.
I'm hoping that the fediverse can bring out a lot of interesting and useful web design options, for Lemmy and Mastodon and the other federated tools. Having something that is open and beautiful (and functional) should be a part of the plans for increasing adoption and drawing in more people to the community.
How do you deal with losing your scrolling position every time you go back from viewing a comments page?
I have noticed that when I go back to the main feed that the specific position on the page might be a post or two above or below the one that I was viewing, but I haven't experienced anything like the page not showing the post I was reading at all, or the entire feed resetting.
What behavior are you seeing?
I'm running Android 13, so it might be an issue with other Android versions or iOS.
The entire feed is indeed resetting as if I refreshed it. I'm also on Android 13.
EDIT: Just browsing using chrome or firefox has the same result...
I'm on Android 12 using Jerboa most of the time, but I just tried fmhy.ml through Firefox as a PWA. It seems that when I am on the web application it updates as soon as my instance pulls in new comments. So the feed will start flying by until finished updating.
