That's a good point! Put a slick enough front end on a platform and the vast majority of new users won't care about the back end for sure.
You're absolutely right, the app ecosystem will be crucial to its success and keeping it around. Jerboa is fine, but it's fairly lackluster, and is the only Android client I've found. Not to discredit the dev/team for Jerboa at all, it's actually quite good, until you compare it to the various third-party Reddit clients I've been using for decades.
I'm hoping lots of growth for Lemmy and the fediverse and that with that, the app ecosystem scales well, too!
Here's hoping that the Lemmy API proxy can expedite a transition to allow these apps to stay useful after June 30th. It would be a beautiful sight to have diversity of clients here, and especially supporting the fediverse answer to Reddit instead of the centralized competition.
I would even be happy to see kbin growth because we on Lemmy don't lose out ๐
