I believe the lack of apps (that offer 100% of what Lemmy on browser has) is also playing its part. Many people will return or be more tempted to come here when apps will come out. Some are ready with a million more well on the way.
No. Nobody likes apps. People prefer their browser. This app thing corporate bullshit.
based take. and to this i would add: if it's not on the open web, it's not to be used.
"Nobody likes app" Hm.
Honestly, I didn't really start using Lemmy until Sync for Lemmy was out. I know it's a closed source app which gets a lot of hate around here but it is already very full featured and a great browsing experience. The developer listens to user feedback and is invested in making the app the best he can.
I actually don't mind that it is closed source, just pointing out that for some reason, there is a lot of hate towards non-FOSS apps here on Lemmy for some reason. I've used Sync for reddit almost since it first came out so migrating to using it on Lemmy was amazing
