Yes! If you set the font size to maximum, you get the Apollo app feeling.

I'm not saying that the PWA is horrible, but I think a native app would be better too. Really, the only issue I have with it is the refresh rate. For some reason, the display randomly switches to 60hz, especially when sliding to go to the previous page.
Using the developer options to see the current refresh rate does not represent this, but you can clearly see it. I feel that a native app would be able to force 120hz throughout the app.
The only reason I say this is because, when first tried to install the PWA from Kiwi Browser which was pretty smooth but switched to 60hz here and there. I thought this was because of Kiwi Browser so installed the PWA from Chrome. When I did that, it was fully in 120hz only, completely unusable, so I went back to the Kiwi PWA
Edit: the refresh rate is fine while in Chrome browser, it's only in the installed PWA that the refresh rate goes to shit. Anyone who has a 120hz display knows that even going back to 60hz for a second is jarring.
shit i never even noticed it wasn't 120hz, and it's weird that only the PWA suffers and the app in chrome runs fine
i don't think i can unsee it...
Is it safe to use a web app without it having to go through apple security?

~~Wish I could use it without needing VPN. I'm in Finland.~~
Edit: it's working for me now. It's strange because at the same time it wasn't working from my home and mobile connections it was working fine via airvpn in US.

I agree, I would likely use it if it was an actual app, sadly due to restrictions web apps have on my device I can't use it xD
Does anyone know how the dev did the installing functionality of the webapp? Anything you can link me to with more info on the subject?

Agree. Anyone know if there is a hide read posts option?
They just added a manual mark as read swipe option. They seem to be planning on adding automatic mark as read on scroll in the future.

The problem (and I don’t know if this is wefwef or lemmy) but most of my comments won’t show unless I refresh and even then sometimes it requires I leave the site altogether. Many times it won’t show the comments if anyone until I post.
Long way to go to make this place usable.
I made an account at thelemmy.club today and have been having really good luck with it. Much smoother than lemmy.world. Also seems to federate with other large communities that were missing from lemmy.world. As a bonus they host their own wefwef instance at app.thelemmy.club

Your problem is your using the largest instance that is being flooded by new users which is bringing instability. Make an account on a new instance and that should be fixed. Since it's decentralized, no one is running this on a server farm with 800+ like reddit does, which causes problems when everyone joins a single instance.

It’s open source.
An app fork will come with time as some things can’t be done in a web app.
Right now Lemmy is changing too quickly for it to be worth it anyway.
So just enjoy this fantastic web app for now.
