She says she's open to it but doesn't find it as intuitive. So there's a chance.

To be fair, neither Reddit was intuitive when I first started using it.

Reddit having a glut of third party apps for viewing and navigating at your preference really helped with outreach.

Now those options are gone.

I bet she's gonna change her mind once the apps are more mature

[–] Swootpatoot@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

But did you show her the beans?

[–] p3e7@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Sad :(

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

She's kinda right. It is less straightforward. I like it tho.

[–] Strangian@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What app is she using to browse it? Wefwef and Memmy both seem pretty user friendly

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

At the moment, she's only signed up on our self hosted instance and installed Jerboa. Getting her to try setting up an app is the first part of the battle.

Tell her to try Memmy for Lemmy. It’s very good. Based on Apollo which I used for years.

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We're on Android, so I'm currently on Jerboa and trying to get her to try it. But she always uses the mobile web site and opens 10,000 tabs to browse one at a time.

Basically she wants a client with a reading list feature, I think.

It’s a dual iOS and Android app.

Good to know! Looks like the Android half might require a bit more DIY investment (not on the play store yet) so I'll have to look into that.

[–] Sylocule@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it’s on TestFlight on iOS (effectively testing only). But it’s stable for me and the developer is fixing reported issues pretty quickly

How about wefwef.app then?
