I felt this way with instagram. My phone can barely handle the web app and you can't even replay the video without an account. Truly garbage UX
Im pretty sure that meta purposefully makes the mobile websites for all their products as shit as possible to get people to use the real apps instead
That's what literally all social media sites do. It is far more profitable for people to be using your app than your mobile website. Apps make it much easier to harvest data and corral the user into the exact experience you want them to have (ads, suggestions, etc).
I know not many people here are going back to Reddit but just for a second, open your mobile browser, disable the add-ons if it's firefox, and go look at Reddit currently. Within the last few weeks they have absolutely massacred it. Like, truly, it is astoundingly bad now. The original mobile redesign of the site was already terrible, but this new-new-mobile reddit is so painfully bad that the only conceivable reason for its existence is to get people to give up and use the app.
Man i really miss old reddit, what a shame. I hope lemmy continues to grow, none of my hobbies have active communities yet like they do on redddit
same, idk what to talk abt with you all lol
But I'm here and we're chillin
Could I see some pictures of how bad it's truly gotten?
I've occasionally browsed Reddit with Firefox private browsing plus uBlock origin, and while the website is quite crappy (Much nagging to use the app and to sign in), it hasn't gotten any worse in the last few weeks.
That's why I use desktop mode on most websites
I refuse to install their app(Facebook) phone on my phone. They have basically broken the mobile site once again, so I've just stopped using it. Much easier.
Any phone can barely handle the web app
I'm pissed when ppl send me links for it and they don't play in mobile firefox and I'm forced to open chrome.
Wait until you are on a clever chinaphone OS that unloads the previous app while you play this.
