I've used Lemmur in the past but lately I've realized that the web client is perfectly usable on mobile, much more so than most other social media. This is probably a testament to non-profit-driven development because the web client is really light, scales perfectly to an app-like form factor, there's no weird behavior with the touchscreen instead of a mouse, and it also gives you all the features of the site instead of arbitrary not letting you do more advanced stuff because they want you to download the app. It also has the extra benefit that it syncs my browsing history to desktop so you pick up where you left off. Since making this latest account I have not felt the need to download an app at all and have been right at home using it from the browser.

Then again, I refuse to get the Reddit app and still use old.reddit.com on mobile (it's just as annoying as you assume and you have to zoom in and out to click on stuff but I'm used to it by now, also I'm barely using Reddit anymore so that helps too) so maybe I'm somewhat unique? Just curious as to if anyone else exclusively uses the Lemmy web client on mobile and what your thoughts on it. Those on the other side, are there any killer features that apps give that I'm missing?

I have like 1500+ subscribed communities and performance on desktop with default web UI is pretty bad... I think the reason for it is that "Subscribed to communities" box in the sidebar trying to load images for all of those communities at the same time.

Might wanna just zap that rlement in ublock origin or something. Might be useful even just as a test.

I already have it hidden with uBO, but performance is often still bad. Idk if it's actually the reason, but it's not auto expanded on mobile and I have no problems there so I assumed it could be due to that.
