Because when you click a link out of link Google or something you try to login and it says your login doesn't work. To actually view that page properly you have to copy the link go you home instance and search it again then go to the post and then you can interact with it. Some people either A. don't realize that or B. Don't understand that's how it all functions. It confused the shit out of me for the first couple days but I just didn't care enough to create a new account because my account "should" have worked there I just didn't know how to make that happen.
The process to open a link on your home instance is just way too complicated right now. Some sort of browser presence could help redirect users to the right places.
Agreed I haven't spent much time using Lemmy on an app but I'm hoping those can make it easier somehow atleast for mobile users.
