wefwef is a progressive web app. It’s something inbetween a native mobile app an a traditonal web app u would load in your browser(aka the user interface of your homepage). They have certain advantages but also disadvantages like performance and dependemcy on specific browsers etc. Basically everything you download from app stores like Google play are native mobile apps everything else runs in a browser or some container of it (roughly summarized)

Maybe it was related to “impersonating other existing program”? Or is was just a brand guideline to the Reddit brand, anyway here are the guidlines related to app naming and some examples. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9898842#zippy=%2Cexamples-of-common-violations

Well so you can just use the acronym of the app itself in the beginning of the play store name and it’s all good? I’d like to see some source for these ominous play store policy

Doesnt every user have the possibility to block it by themselves for their account only? At least I have this option in the Connect app to block specific users/communities or instances

thx for the considerstions. I thought there should be a better way for thumbnails which really should not be the exact size as the image itself. If this is a Lemmy problem itself then I am happy to bring this issue to the Lemmy maintainers. It’s a waste of data/energy, just pointless.

hmm interesting, I guess there must be some reason. Was just wondering is anyone could link why it has to be done this way and if it was actually due to Reddit tos as a brand or general play store guidelines
