I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app
not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won't install lemmys.
I see your points.
However, both Voyager and Photon are websites that access Lemmy.
They have plenty features and there are others as well.
I'm sure there's a hacky workaround for every complaint I might have, I've done a lot of those over the years and I don't see that stopping any time soon. I'm just tired of having to fix things before I can use/enjoy them. Effort is a limited resource. It's current year, shit should just work.
Lemmy apps are third party
Don't care. I'm not installing another app. It's a website, it should work in a browser.
What kinds of problems have you ran into using Lemmy in a browser on the phone? I use Firefox and set it to "desktop mode" and haven't had any issues.
Lemmy is an api. A website is just another app here. Besides, there are other web interfaces you could use. Have you tried any?
Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.
Yes! I can't speak to lemmy.world but reddthat (my instance) hosts several web UIs and you can use whatever one you want.
https://old.reddthat.com/ would interest you.
https://voyager.reddthat.com is another popular one.
There's probably info available for your instance if you look for it (they should do a better job of advertising the different UIs).
BTW I respect your dedication to using browser apps for websites. I also try not to install an app if there is a decent mobile UI available on the website. I'll will install an app if its a better experience though.
Jerboa is technically First party. Doesn't brand itself as the Lemmy app though.
