Convenience. For the average user it's just download from the play store and scroll. I agree that lot of people use the official app but they're used to the ads from other social media apps too probably.

I mean... I downloaded a third party app from the play store. Isn't that how you got yours too??

I mean yes, you can get third party apps on the Play Store (I got mine off F-Droid but that's besides the point), but for most people, if they want to install "Reddit" on their phone, they're gonna search for "Reddit," and then when the first thing that pops up is the official app, they'll install that, and never think twice about it.

Well my proposal for lemmy is to have jerboa apply a post signature. Like "posted using Jerboa"

So that people would start askin and be curious and then become aware that there are other apps to view the site
