As a new Lemmy user, I’m curious where most people use it from - Is it web, mobile, desktop app?
I’m using Photon and it looks pretty good. At least better than the default web one.
Earth. Mostly.
Your mom’s room.
My phone in the woods in the foothills of southern Appalachia
How’s the signal?
Bangin’. Cell tower 1/4 mile down the dirt road. 45 minute drive to groceries though.
On mobile with Voyager. I’ve tried other clients, but I always come back to Voyager.
Right now, from Emacs.
What are you using for that? old.lemmy.zip? I would’ve thought that wouldn’t work since it’s behind cloudflare, but I just tried it and it does. Interesting.
I use this: https://codeberg.org/martianh/lem.el
Oh, that’s a client that works directly in emacs, I wasn’t aware something like that existed! Thank you for sharing. I had assumed you were simply using a web interface in eww.
Mobile, in browser with desktop mode on.
I’m weird about apps. It’s not even a privacy thing really, I just never got into them as a concept.
Same
I had bought the ad-free version of Boost before the Redditpocalypse, so I got the ad-free Lemmy Boost and have found it to be pretty great.
When I’m at my computer, I use the theme that looks like a dark mode of old reddit.
From home mostly. Sometimes from public transport, or the shitter at work.
I use the default interface in browser primarily, but I use Boost on my phone as well as Voyager.
I’m an old school geek. To me, an “app” is basically software running on a phone (in that context), or perhaps software running on a computer (although typically I’d use “application” there, but it depends. A small “application” might be an “app”). I know this is not universal. But for example, to me, reddit or Facebook or Lemmy is not an “app”, it is a “website” that you can access via a browser or an app.
A small “application” might be an “app”
Also old nerd here. To me that would be an “applet.” I miss applets.
Ah, haven’t used “applet” in quite some time, but yes, definitely it was (and I support current use) :)
Mostly on mobile.
I switch between 3 apps because they each have features that I like.
Jerboa because I like to view user profiles and communities moderated
Voyager because I like the user tagging feature
Eternity because I prefer timestamp format instead of time elapsed format, and it reminds me of Infinity which was my preferred 3rd party app to browse reddit, when I used to do that.
If only I could have user profiles, user tags, and timestamps in one app…
interstellar with Mbin because it also supports mastodon
Boost app
Phone, boost. Always forget I can also use my desktop browser but honestly I’m so used to Boost it’s like it’s a completely different website
Really it was Reddit no longer allowing third party apps to use their APIs that got me to look elsewhere and since I had been using Boost for Reddit anyway, and there was also a Boost for Lemmy
Boost for Lemmy, Android
I use it from the toilet
