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

    My biggest gripe using the browser was the constant auto-refresh. I’m using wefwef which has better functionality and looks way nicer, feels more like a ‘Reddit’ experience.

      When you’re reading the post title, then suddenly new posts come in and bump the current post. And now you’re lost.

      Also if you click a post and after you go back to the feed. The browser doesn’t remember your position. And now you’re lost again.

        It doesn’t do that thing where the new posts bump the page around while you’re reading it, as of version 0.18.

        It does still have the second issue you mentioned.

      I was trying out lemmy.world when All was freaking out and constantly spawning new posts on top. I moved to kbin and enjoy the boxy feel
