this is where my age is going to show...

im not an 'app' person, so i have no idea. i do know there were several in active development, but i just have not cared.

firefox on my phone seems to do exactly what i need to with regards to mbin (or reddit even), so i have never, ever understood the need for a site-specific app.

i kinda thought thats why we spent 20 years making 'reflexive' websites designed to be scalable to different sized screens

Its just conveniant to use apps and when lemmy apps just take little to no space and can switch between account, have better UI, faster reflex as in backing clicking without needing to load it etc etc its just better to use it atleast in my opinion and some websites are not properly made for phones . But if it works for you no problem

i think my basic use of the sites negates the need for any app. i dont 'do' a lot. i could see maybe if i performed a ton of actions, or as you mentioned, using any alts.

ive never had/needed alt accounts so, also that is also somewhat foreign to me.

I don't have alts anywhere except lemmy because it is kinda needed here because some instances block others and all
