I hope this isn’t a question that’s already been asked to death, in app search for “mbin” isn’t all that helpful.
I’m still in the stages of looking for a permanent home here in the fediverse. So far mbin has really caught my eye because it’s basically Lemmy+ for all intents and purposes (at least for mine). I’m not all that happy with what looks like the only Android app though.
So I was wondering if there were any plans to add mbin functionality to any existing Lemmy apps? Even if I used a Lemmy app solely for the ‘Threads’ or Lemmy section of mbin, then used the web page or only mbin app for everything else, I would be fine with that.
I tried to see if I could sign in with the app that I’m currently using (Eternity), with the kbin.earth instance and no luck. So obviously the API is just that much different.
Are any devs here thinking of expanding their apps in future? Or is there one I’ve missed? I’ve seen more than one app with the description “For Lemmy and the Fediverse”, but what exactly is meant by “and the Fediverse” is unclear.
I’m going to just try again here. I’ve woken up ill today, in a bit of a brainfog and right now just doing this from the Lemmy app that I use is the easiest. I’m going to get all of the text out of the way at the top of this post and put the screenshots at the bottom. First screenshot is the issue I’m facing when I first load the page. Second screenshot is what it looks like after multitasking for a bit and returning to Firefox (at which point the page reloads, reloading manually without the multitasking didn’t fix it however, so I’m assuming this a memory management thing?).
I feel like I should also note that my phone isn’t great at all. And I’m running a custom firmware. So if this is an odd issue that no one else has ever encountered, I’m prepared to re-flash the vanilla firmware to my phone and try again.
I also feel like I should just alert you that in your welcome email, you mention to reply to the email with any issues. However, the email is a ‘noreply’ that returns “address not found”. I’m guessing that the wording in the welcome email is from an earlier time and hasn’t been changed yet.
No idea what’s going on with all those borders around everything, it looks like it might be an accessibility setting to make clickable areas more obvious?
The black background makes me wonder if you’ve got the high contrast theme chosen in your PieFed settings. Go to https://piefed.social/user/settings to choose a theme. Try “Card Shadow”.
Haha well this is odd. Definitely wasn’t on the high contrast theme.
And after switching to the Card Shadow theme, the entire thing just stayed the same with the very dark background and white boxes.
Using cropped images to reduce the size of my post but basically it looks the same as the first screenshot in my previous post, regardless of the theme chosen and saved. Including the home page outside of settings.
I definitely don’t have any accessibility settings enabled and haven’t encountered this on other websites (yet), although my usage of Firefox is pretty low these days because it’s fairly heavy duty for my phone. I’ll play around with my settings and try a few things though.
Update: not entirely sure what else to try but one thing I’ve tried now is disabling the global dark theme in my settings as well as Firefox (aargh my eyes). This seems to make no difference either. I even switched to the “Trans Pride” theme and it remains the same. The only settings that I’ve modified in accessibility is to make text size smaller.
If you have any suggestions of what to try, I’d be happy to. Otherwise I’ve been needing an excuse to start over on this device. So a reflash might be in order.
