i really like the lemmy apps im using for iphone ogse (thunder) and x (memmy).

i am interested in using the pixelfed app for the ogse but it only supports the latest ios. same goes for a number of lemmy apps i would like to try.

question to devs: is it difficult to include compatibility with older ioses? as someone who only uses hand-me-downs, i use my phones until they die, which are left behind the latest ios upgrade (ogse for example). would like to see this compatibility with apps for other federated services as well, eg firefish.

    By the way, the Progressive Web Apps for the threadiverse that I know about are:

    One should be able to install these on any mobile platform using browser. For desktops generally Chrome or Edge should work, maybe Opera. Firefox does not support PWAs on the desktop but it does on Android. On iOS Safari is the only browser that supports PWAs.

      yes, i have heard of pwas. havent used them because i keep my homescreen empty (i access apps through the app drawer). and theres memmy and thunder for lemmy anyway.

      i might give them a try for other federated software (pixelfed and firefish).
