      Agreed. I’ve been using the website on my phone. I figure I’ll check out the apps again after they settle into themselves more.

          Yep. Then you find Voyager, vger.app where you install that website as an app, now you get a similar Apollo experience from the “old Reddit days.” That’s what I’ve used since day 3.

            Yep agreed voyager is basically Apollo for Lemmy. Of course still a long way to go but it’s close

                Ya agreed. Eventually things will even out give or take and both platforms will be fine

              I just miss the rich text editing that Lemmy offers. I don’t care to learn the code or type it out. Eventually I’d like Voyager to get an app in the App Store as an option to build in these extra features.

          Some websites can be directly “installed” in you app drawer. They are really like an advanced shortcut for the mobile webpage. You probably haven’t seen it a lot because commercial webs that want to shove their propietary app down your throat disable this option.

          But both Lemmy and Mastodon have it enabled.

          To do so, click on options on your desired browser and you’ll find an “addto startup page” option or something along those lines.

            interesting. But that seems to rely on Chrome, which I’ve removed. I’m using Duckduckgo as main browser instead. So I just fireproof the login, bookmark and I’m good. Thanks for the explanation, though.

            edit: there seems to be a sandboxed webapps browser on f-droid

          @sneezy Yeap, all browsers still have it as an option in the main menu, lots of sites still have metadata to present it as fullscreen too so it feels like a proper app.
