I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.

    I’m surprised by how much of a big deal apps are for the users. I would have kept Jerboa if it was more stable. I got Connect for no specific reason and don’t really see a reason to try anything else… I was still using old reddit and an app called Slide, so I guess I’m some removed user or something. Happy that those apps brings more users tho.

      Honestly just using Lemmy in a browser (or Tildes even more so I imagine) I keep wondering why apps are a big deal to begin with. They both work 100% perfectly fine.

      It’s the same with Mastodon, in fact their official PWA gives a fair few apps a run for their money.

        Just using their websites can be a pain when links to content and other users or communities or whatever ends up taking you to a new domain because of the federation. Apps allow everything to stay together, so you can keep interacting as your intended user account.

        Mastadon was much better for that like. I haven’t touched lemmys web interface on a while. Not a fan of its look or UX personally, so I don’t know if they fixed that.
