I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app
not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won't install lemmys.
Lemmy apps are third party
Don't care. I'm not installing another app. It's a website, it should work in a browser.
Lemmy is an api. A website is just another app here. Besides, there are other web interfaces you could use. Have you tried any?
Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.
Yes! I can't speak to lemmy.world but reddthat (my instance) hosts several web UIs and you can use whatever one you want.
https://old.reddthat.com/ would interest you.
https://voyager.reddthat.com is another popular one.
There's probably info available for your instance if you look for it (they should do a better job of advertising the different UIs).
BTW I respect your dedication to using browser apps for websites. I also try not to install an app if there is a decent mobile UI available on the website. I'll will install an app if its a better experience though.
What kinds of problems have you ran into using Lemmy in a browser on the phone? I use Firefox and set it to "desktop mode" and haven't had any issues.
Jerboa is technically First party. Doesn't brand itself as the Lemmy app though.
I see your points.
However, both Voyager and Photon are websites that access Lemmy.
They have plenty features and there are others as well.
I'm sure there's a hacky workaround for every complaint I might have, I've done a lot of those over the years and I don't see that stopping any time soon. I'm just tired of having to fix things before I can use/enjoy them. Effort is a limited resource. It's current year, shit should just work.
I think you either lack information or are just misinformed.
Those are projects that cooperate with each other, not "hacky" solutions.
They offer services free of charge while respecting at every possible level your rights to privacy, I believe your "limited resource" will understand.
