Brand new to the platform. Just wondering if I have to use my browser each time. Thanks. Ps. F reddit mods
Tell me to didn’t try without saying you didn’t try.
I searched Lemmy in the app store. I didn’t (and still don’t) understand why there are a bunch of third-party apps that connect to Lemmy. But it seemed like Voyager was popular, so I went with that.
I would read up on how the fediverse works if you don’t understand why there are so many “third-party” apps.
These 2 things are not related though? Reddit is not part of the fediverse and had plenty of third party apps until they changed the API.
Lemmy is not one centralized entity or corporation, so it is impossible for a first party app to exist. Think of it like a collection of separately run clubs/groups that all communicate with each other over the same medium. But the medium is not run by a single person or company.
However, Jerboa is the app made by Lemmy devs themselves, so I suppose it’s as close to “first party” as you can get.
Personally, I use and prefer Voyager.
