What is so great about Reddit/Lemmy apps?
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 would say a good mobile client’s user experience is indeed better than desktop. Desktop websites are second class citizens in this day and age.
As a mainly desktop user I agree. Nearly everything is designed/built around portrait mode nowadays, and landscape is merely a secondary concern... if at all. Understandable considering a lot of traffic is from mobile, but it can make things feel a bit clunky and fit poorly on a wide screen.
I keep one of my desktop monitors in portrait position at all times now, very rarely do I find myself needing to drag a browser window to the horizontal one. Everything is being designed for portrait mode now.
