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.
Edit: typo
Apps are generally more optimised for phones, and thus work a little bit better (with the exception of www.wefwef.app). But if you like the website, you don’t have to use apps.
wefwef might be a webapp but it’s very mobile optimized (: feels almost native and it’s just like Apollo

And it’s trustworthy with my username and password?? 🤔
every app needs your username and password to log in? and it’s fully open source on github…
I took a leap and I’ve been using wefwef all day (and I love it)!
However, just because the source code is on GitHub doesn’t mean that the wefwef server I’m connecting to is running unaltered code straight from GitHub.
Hosting my only server may be the only way to be certain my credentials are protected.
What does this mean? Wefwef is amazing, easy to install, and provides one of the best Lemmy mobile experiences right now, in my ever so humble opinion.
wefwef is a progressive web app. It’s something inbetween a native mobile app an a traditonal web app u would load in your browser(aka the user interface of your homepage). They have certain advantages but also disadvantages like performance and dependemcy on specific browsers etc. Basically everything you download from app stores like Google play are native mobile apps everything else runs in a browser or some container of it (roughly summarized)
