I just use the lemmy website on desktop and mobile. I don't need an app for everything.
Anyway, nice to see a fork of the lemmy apps. Can't wait to see how these forks will be different from the original app.s

My problem is that both of these apps don't even take beehaw as a valid instance
Both apps are filled with bugs. I hope to drum up some generous developers to help us with these. Generally speaking, most people access the Internet via mobile apps. Thus, it is a shame that the mobile apps weren't developed first. With that in mind, marketing Lemmy is NOT a good idea until these mobile apps are, at least, functioning properly.
I use the firefox web app version of beehaw on my android, it's like a shortcut made into a whole app, it's pretty cool
Using Lemmy on a smart phone with a browser should work fine since the site is built to be responsive. However, having a native Lemmy application for Android and iOS could provide opportunities for further feature development that isn't included with the browser version. That is why I believe it is a good idea to keep these apps going.
