What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?
minus-squareastraeus@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 year agoI’m testing out Mlem on iOS and so far it is a much cleaner experience than even the desktop version of Lemmy’s webapp. Lots of nice QoL features. https://testflight.apple.com/join/MelFP11Y
minus-squareDoctorTYVM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down6·1 year agoYeah, the apps have been spotty for me, but at least the layout is cleaner. Not a good sign when you need an app to properly use your website though.

minus-squareastraeus@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI imagine reddit felt little different than this at launch in 2005. New services are never going to be perfect from the start and it’s obvious there is a community of devoted devs working on this project.

minus-squaredanielton@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoThe mobile site for Lemmy is at least usable, without a huge banner telling you to download the app. That’s more than I can say for Reddit.
