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.
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.
On the web, the buttons were too small. I settled on Jerboa for bigger buttons, the community name and OP name listed above the post, and the ability to block a community.
I didn’t really know. I just prefer an app, I think :). I’m using Liftoff on my Android phone.
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.
I don’t enjoy the workflow using the webui esp on mobile. My biggest complaint is that going back from a thread just reloads the prior page and doesn’t maintain my place. Opening each thread in a new tab is irritating.
I’m using Jerboa app for that reason. That webui bug is annoying, hope it is fixed soon.
