How do you even open the site on mobile without having to install the app? I keep getting an overlay. Can't we just post screenshots from now on and stop generating traffic on their site.

I just started using Jerboa for Lemmy from fdroid instead of using a web browser. The difference for me is night and day
I think they're talking about the reddit app, not lemmy
I'm still kind of weirded out by some of the bugs and differences. For example, quite frequently, I'll click a lemmy link, and for whatever reason it keeps taking me to some weird baseball game thread about the Padres or something. I don't know why, like wtf, so random.
Probably because you're pressing a link to a post of another instance, but it resolves to your instance instead.
Meaning that, you'll be shown a post with the same ID on your own instance - where you should have been shown the post with the ID of another instance.
Either you're using an app, and it hasn't accounted for this yet - or the person who made the link didn't format it correctly are my best guesses.
Probably because the Padres are on fire this season.
Also, I understand lemmy 0.18 replaced websockets with HTTP, which is supposed to be more reliable, but some instances have chosen not to upgrade yet because 0.18 also removed the built-in captcha. The fediverse and activitypub are really being put through a trial by fire right now, there's gonna be some growing pains.

Habit spawns laziness and stupidity as well as a false sense of loyalty.
Can’t even open that link on phone without app. Real Pirates wish to be free.

It will take time
People's resistance to change is quite strong, even if they have good reason to leave and lemmy/fediverse are great alternatives the fact is that in terms of UX lemmy can be quite different and takes some time to find and rebuild a list of communities to join, specially since you can have the same community on different servers (i.e. technology on beehaw vs technology on lemmy.world) and just this fact means a learning curve for people that for the most part don't like change.

Truly bizarre.
People are freaking out because you have to put two seconds of thought into it.
It's not like everyone visiting /r/piracy was part of the community itself (which moved to greener pastures). Many visited the sub as part of casual browsing.
I have known about lemmy for a long time. Im happy its starting to have a population. Only reason I am sad to leave reddit is I have used it to save answers to my questions and save guides etc. Its more an archive for me
I've actually had lemmy results come up in google the last few days sometimes, so maybe more people just need to use it.
Granted, those questions were lemmy related, but it's a start
It’s instetesting for the subject of Piracy in particular. Participating in obtaining digital goods has most often been a "take it or leave it" standard. You’ve always had to “go where the action is” if not desperately trying to get invited ( Demonoid era).
They will come to their senses when they need there warez as they always do.
