But why should we be compelled to install apps ?

I mean, apps do make life convenient, but we ought to have a choice of not installing apps, right ??🤔🤔🤔

    I don’t understand the problem that you’re talking about. I use piefed on my android phone, on my browser.

      Me too, as PWA

      • notifications don’t work for me
      • links open in the same window instead of going to the app
        so yt links open yt page instead of NewPipe
      • there is no “drafting”
        so if I swipe back when typing a comment, I’ll go back and my WIP comment will be gone
      • seeing votes (the up and down popup) is a gamble
      • when I expand three dots I’m always afraid I’ll click something when trying to scroll
      • in order to share the link I need to open the drawer

      I was using apps with Reddit and Lemmy and the experience was much better. But so far AFAIK none of the apps support Piefed features in non-cumbersome way, so I’m waiting until one does
