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.
But why though? What does an app get you that you can’t get by pinning the site to your home screen?
notifications, and also that it doesn’t show up in the app drawer on android (I only keep 5 icons on my homescreen in my setup)
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.
Seems like some habits are going to follow us from reddit. Downvoting at the drop of a hat is such a miserable shitty thing to do, but many seem wedded to it.
I remember (Pepperidge farm remembers!) when the majority of folks on Reddit were benign, even though we had edge lords occasionally.
Funny thing, Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon was benign until right about now (with some nazis, edge lords or tankies however) before the surge.
