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

As an alternative, there's also Native Alpha and Hermit (my personal favorite) on Android. Play with the settings to make it full screen and frameless (no address bar at the top). It also has pull down to refresh.

On kbin, you can then go to your settings and sticky the navbar as well so that it's always at the top as you browse. Personal preference and all that.

Wait, where's the option to sticky the top bar? I am not seeing it in my settings but maybe I'm just blind.

This is on kbin. Username in the upper right, Profile, scroll down through the stuff there, look for the small cog. Turn on the option to sticky navbar - you may want to toggle infinite scrolling and maybe the show icons options while there as well.

Oh wow that was kind of hidden, but you just improved this site for me so much. Thank you! Some of these seem better defaults than what is present.

Infinite scrolling not being default makes sense IMO. It's a highly addictive feature, and a bit part of these open source, federated communities is they try to avoid the addictiveness that big tech platforms try to enforce onto their users if possible.

Sometimes the feature is highly liked by people, so they add it as a non-default option.

If you click on compact view you get the settings page for that
