Did you notice that on Lemmy you’re not able to use any alternative apps either?

… I’ll see myself out now.

      There are at least two alternatives already: lemmur and jerboa. In addition the federation probably makes it practically impossible to block other apps and web frontends be etc. And you can run and use an old web front to your heart’s content.

    You could make a Lemmy app if you want. Jerboa seems to be what most people are using but Lemmur was available in the past and stopped development partially due to a lack of interest.

    Lemmy is still small compared to Reddit

    But also, with the fediverse structure, there is no way to lock out alternative apps. Functionally, all apps are third party.

    you aren’t able to use alternative app because there is no alternative app apart from jarboa on Android
