Installing the PWA is simple (in Chrome). In the URL bar at the right side on the Lemmy homepage, you should see a little install icon that looks like a monitor with a downward facing arrow. Click that, and it will install the site like an app.
Which instance did you try for that? Lemmy.world definitely didn’t have a new reddit feel to me but I can’t speak for the others.
I’ve seen there are some front-ends for desktop that you can use and there are some that make it look like old reddit. I haven’t used any of them but you can try this one:
Of course I use lemmy.world, because at first I thought it was the one and only instance.
Maybe I’m wrong in terms of comparing it with new reddit UI, I’m sure that lemmy is way better, but viewing media isn’t as convenient as it was with RES addon.
I’m sure that things will get better soon. Memmy feels like Apollo at its early stages already.
Hate using it in browser, but Memmy app is awesome, so for me it’s “mobile only” as of now. We need a proper desktop client
It has a PWA, use that to get the “app” feeling.
I guess I’ll have to learn what PWA is as well as improve my understanding of how Fediverse works. 😅 It’s all very new to me
Progressive Web App, it’s the “modern” kind of apps
Wefwef.app is what your looking for i love wefwef
Doesn’t come close to a good desktop experience, feels more like Instagram
You’re right, that’s a mobile client. I don’t know why they’d recommend that.
There’s https://alexandrite.app/ in development currently for desktop
oh and also https://mlmym.org/ - makes it look pretty much exactly like old.reddit

Have you tried http://mlmym.org on desktop? It’s like old.reddit
Can I ask why? I’ve felt the browser experience is significantly better than any app I’ve tried so far. At least for lemmy.world it is.
It feels like using new reddit’s UI, while I got used to Reddit Enhancement Suite addon, which enhances old reddit’s UI.

I think you can just replace lemmy.world with whatever instance you use.
