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.

    I know. That’s one of the things I find so amazing about it. It’s so fast and snappy for me, even on a low end, $200 Android phone. Most PWAs I’ve used are pretty janky, even from big companies. I like that it stands out as the lone Lemmy PWA as well. It’s easily accessible (can be installed in Firefox and its derivatives, Chrome, Edge, Safari (most Chromium browsers? Not sure) and is platform independent. I even put it on my Windows PC. With Windows snapping, I can put it over to be half-screen, and it’s a perfect feed for me, with its own icon, that I can just leave open. I did give up trying to make it work in Desktop Firefox though, and used Edge because it was so easy. I would rather I was using FF, but I like Edge enough anyway. Then you get sidebar search as an added bonus to search things and not be taken away from Lemmy to do it.
