I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit's official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven't tried yet.

Doesn't work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn't any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).

It's because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.

Still didn't work on Firefox though

Chrome probably works the best for PWAs, maybe try some Chromium alternatives to see if works properly.

You're right, it installed without problem on Chrome, I'm writing this from wefwef
