I feel bad that we as Tusky were not prepared to take new users. We basically have no onboarding flow because we've never expected people to join mastodon through us. People are used to do everything though the apps, though.
Decade of training people to search things through app stores has huge effect. That's going to be a problem for PWAs too.
That's a big problem for free software.
@charlag
Not sure if you've heard of it but on Android there's F-Droid, which is an app store for free software:
The catch is that people have to check the "Allow software from third parties" box in the preferences, which all the fearmongering security "experts" say not to do. But it's there and it has some good apps.
@ND3JR yeah, I know about it and Tusky is there
