    I’d also like to propose an alternative, and that’s installing Piefed as a PWA by creating a shortcut to your phone’s homescreen or installing as an app on desktop, at which point it will run like an app.

    It works quiet well and has become my primary way of using it. People tend to sleep on PWAs, but they’re great. :D

      This is my primary way of using piefed. There are a number of improvements for mobile-sized screens coming in the 1.2 update.

      That’s what I do too. It has all the latest PieFed-specific features and consumes basically no space on my phone.

        I notice nobody responded to you… yes notifications work fine on PWAs. No additional apps required.

        NodeBB has supported them for a couple years, and Piefed can do so with some effort too. rimu@piefed.social happy to discuss how we did it — all standard web tools!

        I am not 100% sure there is iOS support, though. Supposedly there is, but we got some reports saying otherwise.
