For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.
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.
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.
Apps are more customizable. The UI also tends to be better. The web app is fine but i find trying to upvote anything closes a post i just opened. Personally, i like seeing full images of things as I scroll by. So something like a webclient isnt very convenient and rather tedious. I'm using a whole bunch pf userscripts on my desktop to improve the pc experience, apps generally do that for me on android.
In the end, it's user preference. I prefer Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder atm.
A really big one I'm surprised no one has mentioned is gestures. On a huge phone I do NOT want to have to click a small button to do something. The lemmy website does not support this. Wefwef, however, does!
For some reason Lemmy crashes repeatedly for me if I pin it to my home. I also have issues with it refreshing the whole page when I vote on comments (and it undoes any collapsed threads). These might be issues related to the instance I'm on, but I haven't tested that out.
Way better ui that's faster and more responsive are the main ones that immediately come to mind. In theory those could be fixed on a web ui but it's unlikely, given how far ahead jerboa is already
