I’m desktop-only user and never had any experience with Reddit/Lemmy apps, and the sentiment towards them confuzes me.
I can imagine that the third-party apps for Reddit were better (?not bugged?) than the official one. But what made you to love them? Was the experience even better than desktop use?

Feel free to write about both Reddit and Lemmy apps in your responses.

    i don’t have a solution yet for the media playback. Mainly because I don’t seem to have stumbled upon many gifs / videos on Lemmy yet.

    However for the stale posts issue, I’ve found sorting by new or new comments seem to be the best way to get fresh posts. I’ve also put in a feature request for the hide read posts feature to the Wefwef dev. Hopefully they get a chance soon to consider it!

      That’s a good point! I admit I avoided sorting by “new” on Reddit just because of the sheer amount of garbage that was posted, especially in popular subreddits. But this is a whole new community and that’s definitely less of a problem. I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

      You can already do this from your user settings and it should apply to wefwef IIRC

      Although it looks like wefwef doesn’t have the user settings section so you would have to set the option from the user settings on your instance to have it apply
