1 year agoI think for me is the lack of integrated video content in the lemmy apps (on ios anyway). On reddit, the videos are mostly hosted on v.reddit.com directly and they are automatically loaded and displayed in the apps. In lemmy, it’s often handled as external links that we have to open in a browser. It’s less integrated, less « alive ». I don’t use the web UIs so I don’t know if it’s the same there.
That’s good to hear. It means that the same behaviour should make it’s way to most ios apps soon too.
What didn’t help too, is that we had almost perfect mature apps before for reddit (e.g.: Apollo), and now we have to start over from scratch with new apps. Dev teams are doing a phenomenal job, but the transition can be bumpy sometimes.
