it is just very strange, i could not even reply to this comment until i downloaded lemmy as an app on my partner’s device. i did not have any app prior to this, had been accessing lemmy through its website, and will be promptly deleting the app. even on its app, i seem to only be able to reply to you after accessing this comment via notifications, and could not submit on the thread page itself. what a nonfunctional mess, is what i think! one of my preferences is that i need not download any app at all, as i do not have my own smartphone. i fundamentally dislike what apps have done to how we relate to the internet. anyway, at this point i will only be using old school forums (like myBB types) or sites like dreamwidth. that’s just me. :) i believe dreamwidth has no app for its own stated reasons (something about that they prefer to not have the restrictions app stores would impose). thank you.
