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.

    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.
