/kbin meta

One thing I wish both the desktop and mobile app had was the ability to collapse comment threads. It's handy to just be able to quickly click to collapse a thread at the highest level and move on to the next one. Jerboa has that function for Lemmy, but for some unknown reason they don't allow the user to change comment sorting (eg. top comments). It just forces chronological comment sorting.

Man I wish Relay was available for either Kbin or Lemmy... sigh

One thing to note, is that it completely ignores your phones rotation settings for android anyways. I have auto-rotate disabled globally on my Pixel, but it still rotates.

one thing is the PWA doesn't respect screen rotation lock for some reason

I just dont like how you can't tell what magazine you're looking at while on mobile.

It's fine, but not great. It works in a pinch, but it doesn't feel nearly as smooth/integrated as a native app.

It works alright, but it isn't entirely functional. It took me about 20 tries to actually click on the post on mobile. I have no idea why sometimes trying to come into a post just won't work at all

For me, my problem with it is that many times I click into s post and when I hit back, it scrolls to the bottom so I lose my place when using infinite scroll. Not sure if there is a fix for that

It's fine, but not great. It works in a pinch, but it doesn't feel nearly as smooth/integrated as a native app.

I've had this set up for a while. It's alright.

Some comments run off the right side of the screen, is there a setting that fixes this?

Yep, used the Chrome "Install App" feature from day 1 and it's been my primary means of accessing KBin. Shoutout to whoever did the mobile CSS, it's not bad at all especially this early on.

Doesn't work well with Firefox mobile as the default browser on Android. I put the app on my home screen but if I switch to Firefox to look at some web page then go back to the "kbin" browser app it's just a blank screen and I have to kill the window then reopen kbin.

It seems I'm the only one who seems to get logged out from one visit to the next...?

Even if I don't close my mobile browser/tab; if I've not been active on it for some hours (haven't yet worked out what the cutoff is), I find I have to login again.

Happens on both Firefox and Brave for Android.

This is what I'm using and it's a decent experience, especially since you can tweak things to your liking.

I've been use the PWA for a while now and its fine. The only thing I really miss is is pull to refresh, but I found you can just use the hamburger menu at the top to refresh

I’ve been using Kbin as a web app for a while. Sometimes the text goes off the screen and I can’t see it. Also, if I accidentally open a menu, there doesn’t to be a way to close it unless I just tap on one of the options.

With a few scripts, got my Kbin to looks like this: https://streamable.com/6tknlu

Although have to use it in browser.

It has issues with font scaling unfortunately and as a Relay user I really miss the navigational gestures / features. Tapping on every tiny link is tedious on a phone.

Works pretty well as a web app on iOS. :)

ah yes, a accessible mobile website, not like some other platform...

I've done this in Firefox on iOS but sadly the browser's back and forward arrows are not available and... I miss them!

I'm using it with Brave, very pleased.

I've been using the website on brave on my phone and it appears absolutely fine! The only issue is that I think brave blocks the image up loader apart from that all good!

If you are using iOS and Safari, adding the icon to Home Screen prevents Safari extensions from running in my experience. So if you’re using any of the Userscripts or user styles like the collapsible comment script, they won’t work. Took me a while to figure out why they weren’t working. Visiting from the browser works with the scripts and styles, obviously.

I've been using it this way for a bit. It works pretty well, and I like that I don't have to open it in Safari all of the time. Took me a while to figure out where all of the links were, but I'm still new kbin and the whole fediverse thing so it's all a learning curve.

It fails at respecting my screen's orientation lock on Android, so when in bed it kept rotating to landscape and that was extremely annoying, so had to remove it.
