Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

That’s perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards

Did you forget the ./s or something? Lemmy itself is developed on GitHub, as are plenty of other “valuable” open source projects. To pretend nothing of value is built there is putting your head in the sand.

If you’re developing software on GitHub you have a chance at getting some useful feedback, bug reports and maybe even PRs. Like it or not, the network effect is real.
