    Just use your browser to install the page on your home screen, works perfectly for me.

    Only thing missing is push notifications, which I am OK with not having because I get enough as it is.

    Why's every single website gotta be a damn app these days? Soundcloud, Reddit and about a million other places are constantly pestering me to download some bespoke app for an "optimal experience." Fuck off, I couldn't download your shit even if I wanted to, my memory's full and I've got to keep deleting the cache from my browser to stop Android complaining about running out of space

    Naturally you can't install apps on an SD card either

      Turning a website into an app allows websites to mine your phone for data to sell. :the-more-you-know-png:

      I agree that websites should be sites first, but when I used to use r*ddit I preferred to use a free software app such as Slide rather than the website because it performs better.

        I can definitely understand using some unofficial software to make these sites less of a pain in the ass to use.

        Youtube Vanced is :pog-dolphin:

    There is one for android. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lemmy

    I use Hermit on android, it lets me make a webpage basically into an app and add it to my home screen
