I was using Jerboa before, but honestly I think just using the browser page for Lemmy is better. Load up your preferred instance in your phone's web browser and then in your browser options hit "add as app" or "add to home screen"

Huh, I didn't even realize it was a PWA, I never got the prompt on the first load (or I didn't notice it). That actually works pretty nicely. Only problem is that you can only use it for one instance.

Huh never saw that "install app" on Chrome before, just "add to home screen". Is this just like a shell that hides the address bar?

Basically yes. Some websites are more designed for it than others and behave as what's called a "progressive web app". If you ever hear PWA, basically what that means is that it's a browser app pretending to be a desktop app.

Ah I'm familiar with PWA, really they should be the future. Google has a love hate relationship with Android, so they push PWA.
