Need an app better than Jerboa? Go to Beehaw as normal in Chrome, then click the … menu on the top right of Chrome. Look down and you’ll see “Install App”. (Edit: this option is normally not there for 99.9% of websites, I’m not taking about Add To Home Page) If you’ve got a free spot in your launcher a Lemmy icon will show up, otherwise look in your app drawer thing or whatever new apps show up.
This tech is called a “progressive web app” and it’s not just a shortcut, because it then behaves like you’d expect an app to behave like.
Anyway, give it a try. A few other sites have this feature, but it’s fairly rare and unfortunately underutilized.
pro tip for chrome users: use firefox…
That’s a good idea! Very neat. Also, Jerboa just released a new update that’s very good. But it’s not on the play store yet I don’t think. I got it from gethub.
Just use F-Droid
With the IzzyOnDroid repo.
Firefox for Android also has this feature for anyone not using Chrome
