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.
I’m firmly a desktop user here, I’m old-fashioned, I don’t like using my phone, I’d rather be doing just about anything else than reading and typing on a phone screen. But each to their own!
If someone wants to make a desktop app I’d be interested (there never was one for Reddit), but the browser experience is just fine - especially with version 0.18 it’s starting to feel polished.
you clearly aren’t suffering from the random screen fast scroll bug. Every time I try to browse on the desktop, it just starts scrolling like mad and I close the site.
There are bugs but they are getting fewer by the day, I don’t think I’ve had the fast scroll thing for a few days now. But that’s not relevant for me, I have no interest in using my phone so it’s either live with the bugs of the web version or don’t do it at all.

That should have been fixed in last nights release.
