But why though? What does an app get you that you can't get by pinning the site to your home screen?
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.
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.
I remember (Pepperidge farm remembers!) when the majority of folks on Reddit were benign, even though we had edge lords occasionally.
Funny thing, Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon was benign until right about now (with some nazis, edge lords or tankies however) before the surge.
