Just curious. I’m hearing that a lot of people are using various apps with Lemmy but I’m having such a good experience with the browser version that I don’t understand the point of adding an additional layer via an app in between my access to the service. I’d love to hear people’s opinions about the pros and/or cons to using an app vs. the browser. [EDIT] I should specify that 90% of my usage is on my phone.
Swipe controls are a major plus for me, and the app keeping my place when I go back to my feed instead of just starting at the top.
Try wefwef.app once, it’s a web app for Lemmy but has Apollo like UI. Among all the apps and web apps, I’m finding it the best.
I had trouble with the web UI at first, so I used Jerboa for a while. The web works now so I’m using it and opening threads in new tabs, which works ok for me. I’m a curmudgeon and not keen on either UI and will look for alternatives at some point.
Easy account switching. If one instance is down or slow, I change accounts and keep rolling.
I like being able to maximize space for viewing on my phone and find it irritating that Lemmy and Kbin sites don’t have light/dark modes.
I’m on world and it’s dark, or maybe it’s the default.
