Ironically enough I only use lemmy on my phone (browser or voyager) and it works way better than desktop for some reason. I couldn’t even get a post to work on firefox the other day, and images were not loading.

I find Firefox Lemmy works well, it's just my laptop is like 4kg and not quite as portable as my phone. Never had an issue except for a period of time where next page never loaded but that was mobile and firefox
I’ll try again later. I don’t think voyager has all mod options, so I have to do certain things on the desktop.
No, but the mobile market is where the money is, and greedy corps are gonna chase the almighty fucking dollar at all costs.
I only ever browse social media on a PC and that’s the way it will always be. Sometimes I can’t help but feel like desktop/computer users are becoming an afterthought. Anyone else have similar feelings? 🫠
They are. This gives much better control to them of what we're doing when we're doingon 'our' phone, and much less control to us at the same time. It's a Win-Win situation... for them only. And a lose-lose for us (worse experience and much less control of it).
That's one of the reasons I refuse to use my phone to do anything... where I still have the option.
I never really need Uber, but I was going to set it up for a trip. Even though I knew I would be using my phone to get the rides, I still will only enter credit card info on a desktop with proper blockers installed. Yeah, you can't setup an account on desktop at all.
I feel this. I prefer desktop for almost all of my posting and reading online. I only use phone when I am out and about.
Prefering a system over another is just bad design. Probably more profitable, but they shouldn't care if I upload from my self build phone, desktop, tablet or what ever.
Agreed.
