As long as there are no well-known apps on any app store, there are going to be less kids, since they probably don’t want to go through GitHub.
I find most of them are somewhat afraid of downloading apks from websites they might not use often.
I’m using TestFlight and it’s incredibly simple. A kid could definitely get the apps on ios. But I think kids just have no reason to care about this stuff. They just want a website where their friends are.
I forget that most “kids” (Idk 20 and down maybe a few years older) only know the internet and technology via Facebook and android/iPhone respectively.
I scroll on my phone PLENTY, I’m not judging, but I can’t imagine not having a desktop or laptop at least.
wefwef does look cool. As someone who was weird enough to use the old.reddit interface on my phone and be fine with it, I’m pretty happy with the Lemmy mobile design being a step up, but something more slick is welcome too. I appreciate the browser conveniences like bookmarks, reloading, opening in a new tab, and fuller control of privacy related features such as location access, lack of background activity and mic access.

Which is normally a really good thing…

Keep Lemmy weird

I just use the websites for every social media app, including lemmy. Seems better than apps to me.
wefwef is a progressive web app you can use that’s kind of cool

There are several lemmy apps in development and one on the app store already so that’s not gonna last long.
