Although you are right, apps, in my opinion, smooth over the rough edges of a website, and do so in a way that easy for the average plebeian to access. Sure, I could figure out how to make lemmy.world look and act how I want, I just don’t have the time, knowledge or patience to do so. So I use Memmy.
But you are completely correct.
I have an app for my fucking toothbrush. Not everything needs an app.
A toothbrush and a decentralized social platform may have different needs
I don't understand, they're almost the same thing.
Which is also valid, most people don't really have the time for it and they've already spent time finding something independent like Lemmy to begin with.
