Not just as in Lemmy, but as in general.
Most of the time it’s the same thing.
I typically use apps if it’s something I’ll want to open on my own, and website for things I only ever open if I’m sent a link to it
I still need to use Reddit for one particular subreddit and more I’m annoyed the mobile web version has been taken away.
Websites. I hate apps. I hate them trying to glean data from me, I hate then trying to shove ads down my throat while I’m already buying shit from them. I hate how I have to open a new app for everything instead of just another tab. I hate that many are tied solely to apps on my phone and refuse to use those platforms. I want to use my computer instead sometimes. Sometimes I don’t want to tippy tap on a small screen. I hate apps with a passion, they are a fucking blight more often than not.
I usually just use the website in a mobile browser as I generally avoid websites that require an app. It’s an unnecessary waste of space when the website could just work in a mobile browser but some developers, whether it’s because of incompetence or it’s actually intentional, either limit what features are available in mobile browsers or just make the website not work at all.
I have too many fucking apps on my phone already. I’d much rather use websites.
