I get that, if things are not changed on the Apple side, websites can’t have proper notification so you are forced to have an app but on android PWA (Progressive Web Apps - basically websites on steroids) are a real thing and you can just “install” the lemmy website of your instance and avoid any bloated app. Are you looking for an app with some feature missing from the website? Are you just unaware of the possibility of installing the website itself? I don’t want to sound rude (English isn’t my first language) but I don’t get what to me looks like an obsession to have a bloated app installed on your phone

    first things first … English isn’t my first language and I’m sorry if I sounded antagonistic. I’m a bit frustrated because, a lot of users doesn’t even know about PWA and they asks for the development of mobile apps when their needs can be fulfilled with a PWA

    I don’t recall using RIF for reddit, I remember trying a lot of app and feel like I was let down by them so I switch to the browser. It did what I need, I didn’t even feel it lagging while scrolling. Ok, PWA doesn’t have access to some native API (and I’m not even sure if apple finally gave up and let its users have browser push notifications) but for some usecases this isn’t a problem …
