    What is wrong with apps? I get a lot of great features from the one I use that I don’t get with the web client.

    • multi-communities
    • user tagging
    • drafts
    • keyword blocking
    • themes
    • customizeable ui
    • etc

      Most of them space things out in ways I don’t like and I hate gestures because I do things accidentally all the time. I can keyword block througb ublock origjn, although I do understand it is easier in most apps.

      User tagging is the only feature I feel like I’m missing on default mobile lemmy.

      I have also hit app fatigue. Just fucking sick to death of having a massive number of separate things that could be done through the browser.

        Fair enough reasons. If you’re doing custom ublock filters and such, you’re likely able to tweak a lot to how you want it without any outside help from an app.

        I see in you rother comment to someone you haven’t tried Voyager in a year. I haven’t tried that one recently, but I will say even over the last 6-8 months, so many of these apps have really matured from where they were a year or so ago. Very significantly so IMO. I think Summit is really the sleeper champ of the apps for my use case, and the dev is super helpful and responsive.

        To each their own though. I love we have such great variety in UI here. At this point, there should be a couple viable options for near anyone.

      Tried it a year ago and didn’t like it.
