The vibrant ecosystem of third party apps is what made Reddit, from what I’ve heard even the official app is a reskin of what used to be a third party apps. Pushing that ecosystem to Lemmy (I have 7 actively developing Lemmy apps installed on my phone) could spell eventual death for Reddit, and was a very unwise long term decision.
Don’t forget the current lockdown and eventual (this is an assumption) removal of NSFW content. Porn is not IPO friendly, but one should never underestimate the amount of regular traffic it can produce. When traffic metrics are collected, they rarely filter out NSFW. There’s already lemmynsfw.com, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
Well, that’s not entirely true at least on lemmy.world. On the web version there’s the infinite spam of content that happens when you sort by Hot or Top Day that will just eventually crash your browser, whereas on the app that doesn’t happen.
Connect for Lemmy. Thunder and Wefwef have better swiping features but Connect has swiping features, saved posts, and slightly better sorting, so right now it’s my favorite app in terms of balancing what features it’s implemented.

What’s your favorite of the 7 so far?
I’m not the OP, but out of Jerboa, Connect, and LiftOff I like LiftOff the most so far. Jerboa would be higher up if it worked more.
I’m using the webpage and it is just as good as an app if not better since you have the full functionality.

Liftoff is awesome!
It’s getting there. For some reason autocorrect doesn’t work as well with this for me. No idea why
Same! It flows a lot like baconreader for me. I love that I can collapse comments by just a tap.
I just switched to liftoff from jerboa due to errors constantly coming up in jerboa and so far I too am really enjoying liftoff!
