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
I can easily see that becoming rather tiresome. Instead, if anything were to be done, what about a custom "flair" of some kind? Maybe a little golden lemming by the "link" buttons that rest above the post?
To be honest, though, I'm not sure if it needs it. I like the idea of promoting the app, though!
