So I’m looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that’s FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc).

I’m a dev, so happy to put some legwork into it myself. So my question is - technically, is the UI tied to being run on an instance “directly”, or could it be detached, electron- or atom-ified and put into an app?

I can do the work, but before starting I’d like to know :⁠-⁠)

    True about FF desktop, but the mobile version does. Lack of PWA support in FF desktop has been an ongoing criticism of mine.

    There’s also Web App Manager that will let you approximate PWAs on FF desktop. It’s shipped with Linux Mint, but I have it installed on both Debian and PopOS. I hate using it, but it’s a decent option if you’re opposed to having Chromium installed (I use Chromium only for desktop PWAs since I hate Electron).
