Wait, people are actually out here daily driving the default Lemmy web UI instead of using their own client?

When I'm on the toilet, I use a client app on my phone, but when I'm at my desk, I use my desktop and the web ui. Why would I use an app there?

There're alternative frontends that your admin. can install (and some designed so you can use without them being installed on your particular instance: https://phtn.app/ (https://phtn.app/accounts/login, to login)); no need for any app. (outside your browser) to be installed for you to use a different web UI other than the default one.

Yeah, that's a pretty common setup. I'd estimate about half of users just stick with the default web UI.

Definitely why wouldn't I?
