Yeah for now PieFed is web only. IMO the website works well enough on mobile.
It's quite easy to develop new themes so making a compact version for mobile would be easy for someone who knows CSS.
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".
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.
I'm out of ideas, sorry.
It's all good. Thank you for taking the time out to try and help out here. And for being involved in building cool platforms for people to get together. You guys behind the scenes here in this indie web (or whatever you may call it) are heroes for giving us alternatives to turn to for our Sonic the Hedgehog shitposts and whatnot. Now more than ever.
I'll report back if there's any difference when I get things sorted on my phone. Which is going to be a little bit of a job, so I'm not going to get it done now at 23:04. But it needs to be done.
Thanks for your encouragement :)
