Of those who use third party apps I would how many will refuse to use the official reddit app as a result start transitioning into non contributing lurkers given how terrible the browser experience is too on mobile.

Thing is people that use Apollo and other 3rd party Reddit apps really love their interface. Personally I do everything on a laptop/desktop so I'm not familiar with those apps. I don't do much on the phone other than text/voice. Though I have tried to access Reddit through Chrome mobile and it's pretty much unusable. Their in-house apps is not much better from what I understand.

Since Reddit's API pricing it going to wholly drive away 3rd party apps, I think it's going to come down to Lemmy's apps versus the Reddit in-house app. From what I understand the bar is pretty low so Lemmy just needs something that works decent.

Apollo user here, can confirm: I really love its interface. Wiped the Reddit account nevertheless.
