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.
Web, and its a Piefed server. I’m going to check out the available apps sometime, though.
I’m not using Lemmy at all.
I use mbin mostly through Interstellar on my phone, occasionally the desktop web interface.
i started with some random one i dont remember but was customizable to the death. then voyager for a long time and now photon aswell. photon is kinda like voyager but imo with better defaults
Blorp on a vanity instance :3
Mobile browser uazo/cromite
Mobile, voyager. Almost always. Though as a community mod Voyager has some weird quirks and I find myself having to resolves some weird cases via desktop.
Mobile Voyager user here too. I’m mostly pretty happy with it, as it reminds me a lot of Apollo. It would be nice if keywords and link domains I’ve blocked were sorted alphabetically instead of by block date, and if crossposts from communities I’ve blocked were also themselves blocked.
I don’t think I’ve signed into the web version in months, if not at least a year.
I have too many apps on my phone so I haven’t looked for a mobile version. Using it from web on both phone and desktop.
You can use voyager on web at vger.app. the app itself is pretty much a web app, but even in a browser it feels like a completely native app.

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.

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 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.

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) :)
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.
