Not just as in Lemmy, but as in general.
Hmm, a smartphone screen is quite small to use a desktop site comfortably.
Sometimes you just have to, though. A lot of mobile sites are incredibly watered down and try to tell you that you need to use the app to do any basic function, but then the desktop site lets you do it without issue.
But the phone version of the site is so stripped down and babby friendly to the point of unusability. My favorite are the sites that don’t give you the function you need on the mobile site, but don’t let you switch to the desktop view.
Like what? I’ve never seen a page outright refuse to load a desktop version.
Really? I’ve seen plenty that force the m. in the URL (which then redirects back to the mobile site), and if you take m. out, it redirects you back to the m. site again. I’ve given up on a handful of sites that do that, because it makes them unusable.
I wonder if they meant they use desktop sites on the desktop.
I know I have almost completely cut out cell phone use by way of doing everything on desktop. Even texting and calling with Google fi I do on my desktop via their web app. The less I need my phone for when I’m at home the better.
Texting on a computer reminds me of the free 10 SMS messages one could use with ICQ in the early 2000’s.
Good times.
