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.

    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.
