For me it's not about the immediate abilities to use Reddit/Lemmy, is about my projected ability.
Yeah the Reddit app sucks and it's slightly better than the iOS apps for Lemmy... for now.
Reddit has had years to improve their app and has not made much, if any effort to do so.
Meanwhile I've had two updates today to my beta iOS app for Lemmy, fixing bugs before I've even had a chance to find them and enabling new features literally every day.
The future only looks promising for one of these platforms, and that's why I'd rather weather Lemmy's growing pains instead of endure Reddit's stagnant state.
