The only reason why we all used third party apps for Reddit, is because their app and website is abhorrent trash. It’s great to have a choice, but Lemmy’s website is smooth to use. I know it’s mind blowing not to use a app for everything in 2023 but Lemmy just works.

    Sorry but that’s not true at all. Lemmy’s UI feels very unfinished/amateur project like. Even the jerboa app, which is from one of the dev, improves the mobile UI experience greatly compared to just the web version.

    For Mobile users buttons should usually be bigger. But e.g. the comment collapse button is very tiny and I need to concentrate to press it correctly on mobile.

    personally it’s more convenient if there’s a mobile app, so I’m using Liftoff right now, until Sync, Artemis or Boost release 😀

      But why though? What does an app get you that you can’t get by pinning the site to your home screen?

        Whoever is downvoting the above comment: stop downvoting legitimate questions! Even if you don’t agree with their sentiment , the commenter isn’t a troll or rage baiting.

    Because on my phone, using Firefox, the mobile experience isn’t too great. It’s slow, sometimes the screen just blanks out and I need to reload, and sometimes it rapid-fires new posts on the top of the page which makes it impossible to click anything

    Tangentially, does anyone know why we stopped having cool words for different kinds of software? We used to have daemons and wizards. Now everything’s an app, and it’s lame.
