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 was just curious as its easier to access a mobile app then opening a browser and going to beehaw

(I know it sounds like I'm being lazy as I could make a shortcut however, the more lazy you can be to access the site the more people will be willing to be active as each step that has to be taken to access something a percantage of people will not do that step (I wish I knew what effect/ rule this was i can't seem to find it))

You might be able to save the website as a progressive web app to your home screen?

This is what I've done and at this point, I prefer to Jerboa, feels exactly like an app.

Same, the only thing that seem to be a bit hit and miss in Jerboa, is the search for communities. Yesterday evening when I tried it, it didn't work. Now it is working again. Not sure if it's caused by a server being overload provided by Jerboa or it's my instance that was / is a bit fiddly.

edit: grammar is hard yo

If it's the first time that has been searched by a user of your instance, it takes time. Subsequent people using it and searches will be quicker.

@SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl is right, basically.

Oh thats clever

I see that with both the web interface and Jerboa, in any case reloading or searching again will make it show up for me

[–] SuitedUpDev@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Same for me. My uneducated guess is, that it probably has something to do with the propagation of data between instances. But that's a "problem" that will sort itself out once more users (and thus more initiated search queries) will hit the instances.
