I’m desktop-only user and never had any experience with Reddit/Lemmy apps, and the sentiment towards them confuzes me.
I can imagine that the third-party apps for Reddit were better (?not bugged?) than the official one. But what made you to love them? Was the experience even better than desktop use?

Feel free to write about both Reddit and Lemmy apps in your responses.

    Recall that 3rd party mobile apps came before the official Reddit Mobile app. For many people, especially Reddit’s oldest users, their 3rd party app was Reddit for them.

      There is a feeling of loyalty. Sync was a mainstay on my phone for close to a decade.

      Exactly. On the very rare occasion I needed to hop on desktop, it felt like a totally different place. I didn’t use Reddit. I used RiF.

        RIF was better than the desktop version. I used old reddit with RES too and I think that was true. 😭

      This was my issue too. Using desktop always felt clunky
