works with Firefox
only downside is that if you choose to install fire multiple instances the admins need to have customized their setting because Lemmy defaults to always be called Lemmy
If you meant instance admins, is there any particular customization? Mine has a unique name but the PWA still created the launcher as "Lemmy"
I'm assuming that's coming from a static value in the served manifest.json but I haven't really investigated or thought about the launcher name until you mentioned it.
I'm not an admin so i don't know where it's coming from but i know i tried making a PWA from Lemmy-ml, Lemmy-one and beehaw and they all had the same icon and same name (Lemmy)
be great if FF just let me customize my own icon myself but they don't.
