What's wrong with using a browser to view Lemmy? Seems like a lot of posts are about best apps for Lemmy. Am I missing out on something by not using an app?

First post. Majorly a lurker on reddit, and now that I've switched to Lemmy, most likely will continue to stay a lurker.

I know I can download and try all the apps to see what the difference is but I'm curious as to how many people just use their web browser or mobile browser?

Since I'm new, I have no interest to figure out what apps would work for me as all my time is used to figuring out Lemmy, and absorbing the contents.

Would it be a better experience to use any app to learn how to use and navigate Lemmy? The idea of using multiple apps at the same time to find what I like more seems overwhelming.

The biggest annoyance for me is hitting the back button in my browser as it doesn't remember how far down I scrolled on the page.

There are lots of other little convenience things but that's what prompted me to download an app.

That's what started me too. Then it snowballed as i tried every other app available to install. And now i cannot go back.

What app did you end up liking?

Sorry for the late reply. I was jumping from instance to instance.

Thi is now my app ranking

  1. Connect for Lemmy
  2. Jerboa
  3. Liftoff for Lemmy
  4. Firefox browser (mobile eeb display for lemmy is underrated)
  5. Wefwef (it has no block instance and user option, yet)

I got on wefwef today and I’m in love with it. (I came to lemmy after Apollo was shut down. Now I feel right at home with wefwef!)
