FYI, Lemmy and Kbin are Progressive Web Apps, meaning you can install them as regular apps to your phone's home screen

On the same version as you and I've installed this on Firefox but it behaves like a regular website (has an address bar, tabs, etc.). Some other sites installed like this don't have those.

Edit: I tried installing it again and now it works as intended. Maybe some backend update between when I first installed and now?

I had the exact same experience as you. No idea why, but you aren't alone.

Not sure, to be honest. It worked for me from the day I created my account.

Also, lol, lemmy is eating my comments.

Created Lemmy account in case this happens again.

Same here, I had to clear the link off my home screen and reopen Kbin on Firefox to get a version that wasn't just a web link. For some reason, it looks so much cleaner to me now without the address bar at the bottom.
