missing basic functionality available on the website

It seems absurd to defend the incapacity & redundancy of a deficient technology.
Did you miss the part where OP can't set the URL of their post & doesn't seem able to perform an easy edit?
The URL in the body is still wrong.

Images of text break much that text alternatives do not.
Losses due to image of text lacking alternative:

You are taking the ol' doom scroll way too seriously. You need to go touch grass, or maybe smoke some.
Many of us only use the site on mobile, with an app because it's convenient. Your gatekeeping is not needed or welcome here.
OP just stated it's less capable by lacking basic features from the website, so if "works great" means "works like shit", then I'll concede your point.
Ok fair enough, and when you can demonstrate that "basic features" can also be things literally no one would give a shit about or notice who aren't you, then I'll concede your point. I doubt anyone knows what the hell you're talking about even now that you've explained it. It certainly doesn't matter to anyone besides you.
Said website also replaces the link url if one adds a picture, so likewise both can't be posted together. Perhaps you should've checked if your proposed solution actually works.
Some popular Lemmy apps also don't show the link if an image is there. Idk how this works in data structures, but the support for posting both things is clearly not widespread.
It actually saves on resources because it’s not loading in CSS and JS.
I see no evidence of that: I'm pretty sure all clients load a web engine and related resources including CSS, which means you're installing a redundant, special-purpose web client when you already have a general web client installed.
Plus, lacking basic functionality as OP states makes it the opposite of useful.

Best one I’ve heard: Kid Rock makes music for people who wipe their face with a McDonalds bag.

Official music for people who steal copper wire and catalytic converters.

Kid Rock makes music for people who listen to Kid Rock.

Kind of a rephrasing of one of my favorite quotes:
“Music is everything that one listens to with the intention of listening to music. ” — Luciano Berio, Two Interviews (1985)

Kid Rock makes music for people who have lost a toe in the divorce.

Kid Rock is the king of trailer park anthems. The sultan of Methmusic.

What has 50 feet and 9 teeth? Front row at a Kid Rock concert.
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 186d
Every time I read this the number of feet gets bigger, and the number of teeth gets smaller. Fantastic.
robocall@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 187d
Does kid rock still make music? I remember bahwitdaba was like 25 years ago. Never heard of another kid rock song besides that.

There was also that one where he rhymed "things" with "things"
db2@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 186d
And that one was a rip off of Busy Bee. Like most racist pieces of shit he can't come up with something on his own so he stole it.

And by stole I mean stole. He did not pay to sample it.

Kid Rock makes music for people who spend money to get tattoos of their children but don't pay their child support.

I need someone talented to make a gif of doom, but with this cat face over the doomguy's face.

I was going to be upset about that last one, until "but don't" part.
I got EVERY weekend, bitch. And made the most of it.

kid rock must have been so mad when he found out the genre was called kidz bop and he fucked up his stage name
Zozano@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 186d
Kid Rock makes music for people who would rather Sink in the Piss
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 186d
Kid Rock is like that guy who prefers sex with children.

Failing to link to the correct source is a crime both to web accessibility & humanity.
Did you know it is possible to edit your post & set the URL field?


paranoid@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 187d
In the app I'm using (boost), I can either post a link or upload a picture, not both.
lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com · -23 pts · 187d
Does your device not have a web browser that can go to the far more capable website?
"Though this app wastes more space, it also works worse!" doesn't seem a compelling value proposition.

That's a wild assumption. Lenmy has a well documented API that wouldn't pass on frontend-related things.
Making a client scrape the frontend seems like a lot of work for a worse result.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 186d
This is an idiotic assertion which makes me feel dumb that I even stopped scrolling for your pointless vitriol.
