I want to play sv again but should I play on pc? I usually play stuff on mobile because that’s where I started gaming so it’s way easier. Also how can I stay hooked while getting started
I’m usually a mobile player

Honestly the mobile -> pc for stardew is pretty easy. I originally started playing PC but only really got into the game when it came out on iOS and finally got back onto PC when covid hit.
I definitely missed a couple features that mobile had immediately (tap to move, save states, really accessible way to swap to previous day), but I adapted really quickly to the controls (though I had played stuff on PC so it was helped by basic familiarity with wasd+mouse). Once you're on PC you'll really find it nice for anything precise, be that loading machines, hitting stuff at diagonals, etc. that you really can't get on mobile, and mods if you're considering that.
Since mobile and PC are cross-compatible, one way you could try to stay hooked or just get over the immediate transition from mobile to PC would be to transfer your main save or one save you've been playing on mobile to PC. If you're like me the early game is the slowest part so if you skip that you'll probably get into the groove of playing pretty quickly.

I fully agree with @FilthyGorilla !
I started playing on mobile for a long time, because that's the device I use the most. I moved on PC later and it took me very little time to be acustomed to the few differences (many in controls). I still play alot on mobile, but I also enjoy playing on PC, in perticular for the added accuracy: it takes less time to load/unload/fertilize/harvest on PC. Moreover, I've started enjoying decorating the farm and farm house because it is so much easier/quicker to decorate on PC than on mobile (at least without external controlers).
I often move a save file from mobile to the PC or the other way round. For example, everytime I want to decorate or unlock Journey of the Prairie King arcade system: I move the save file to PC. But if I feel that I will play some farm very often, I move it to mobile.
