In my experience, I have never needed an app on Lemmy or Mastodon the way I have for Reddit or Twitter. It turns out you can actually make a web interface that is lightweight and responsive when it isn't bogged down by a long list of arbitrary conflicting demands for data collection, advertising, and inflating corporate KPIs.

It's still nice to have some good apps, but it is not essential and website-ending the way it is with Reddit.
