To access it on desktop, just open the browser and type your server's URL (in your case, lemmy.world). It's not some special protocol, it's a regular site.
I guess we have inevitably reached the "apps for everything" point, after which people become uncomfortable just typing something into the browser.
Cross-platform desktop Lemmy app, anyone?
There are people who don't realize that reddit is a website. Stew on that for a minute.
Jerboa?
Is it available on desktop? Also, the interface is not flashy enough for a Reddit dweller
Reddit also only has a Desktop site if I am correct.
Jerboa looks very similar to some classic Reddit apps and is in my opinion very well featured.
Fair! We just shouldn't expect Jerboa to be a Lemmy flagship for laymen. Some would like it, though.
