Many of us came from Reddit and are still exploring Lemmy by browsing “Everything” or “All”.
Right now, when I want to subscribe to a community from “All” in all apps I’ve tried, it takes me 3+ clicks / taps to subscribe, by opening the community first and going through some menus. In some apps it’s even more hidden, especially for new joiners not knowing Lemmy and the new apps UI this can be confusing.
I would suggest all app developers to add an option, which adds a button on each post, similar like the save or upvote button, to directly see if we’re already subscribed, and clicking it would subscribe / unsubscribe us.
That would help the adoption of Lemmy and makes it easier to subscribe to all the communities which seem interesting, without going through menus or doing many clicks / taps each time.
I am using a native app only because it works better with the platform screen readers.
That makes a lot of sense!
If you don’t mind my asking … is that generally the case, that screen readers work best through native apps than web based apps? I would presume so but I have no idea.
They work fine with web apps, but from what i can tell native apps can pass more instructions to them like “skip this because its a link preview image” etc.
