That isn't true, you can use alternative apps. It is supported, I think your issue is that there aren't as many alternative apps for Lemmy. (yet)

If the official Reddit App was like Jerboa, I would use it.

No clutter, no recommended posts, no ads. That's all I want

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

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

Joke appreciated :)

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

There are no alternative apps yet. You are witnessing ground floor construction work. So, pick up a hammer and help out

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.

I think lemur is abandoned, but yeah

Yeah but that's because it's still very early

I know this is a joke but you also have the option of making a PWA using native alpha
