I'm quite partial to Tesseract.

None. Web version works just fine.

[–] sbf@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

The only reason I DON’T use the default is because my home instance (feddit.org) has super convenient subdomains for alternative frontends. They’ve got m.feddit for mlmym, t.feddit for Tesserect, p.feddit for Photon, etc. I wouldn’t want to use tesseract.app/feddit.org or something.

Anyhoo, I’ve tried each that feddit.org offers, and I just love the bells and whistles that Tesseract provides. The default web client has less features

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

Agree. I'm used to it and can't easily use something else now.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The font-ends I use are called serifs.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

I thought it's going to link to Tesseract

I just tested Tesseract. Photon is WAY better.

I use Voyager on mobile.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 hours ago

This is the way!

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I thought this was about Linux for a second. Voyager meets all my needs and I like that many Lemmy instances use it as their secondary interface.

I don’t have a list of those handy but a lot of them will have a separate URL with a more advanced or simplified interface you can use. A bit like Old Reddit or Tweetdeck or whatever. Like m.lemmy.world is basically voyager as a PWA.

[–] sbf@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago

Well for Linux I use Cosmic (on Arch btw), but I sometimes go back to my minimalist Sway setup

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 6 points 19 hours ago

I'm used to the default UI, both for desktop and mobile.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Right now I'm primarily using Summit for mobile browsing, tesseract for moderation and on desktop.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Tried so many, landed on Sync, Boost, and Thunder. Sync main driver.

Gestures I have found are essential to the experience. So comfortable.

cant teach an old dog new tricks

[–] sbf@feddit.org 2 points 8 hours ago

That is a classic. Might have to make the switch ngl

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Same for mobile, but I also use the website when I'm on a computer.

I use the default, because its the least likely to have issues, since its most close to the source code. Alternative front-ends are not made by the Lemmy devs so there could be compatibility issues.

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 2 points 19 hours ago

It’s a shame that git has no photos

[–] QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 1 points 18 hours ago

I really like Thunder, but for some reason it doesn't display vote counts when I'm using this account. If I switch to my .world account, the vote counts show up, and I can't figure out why it's different. I'm using Voyager at the moment, but not satisfied. My preferred Reddit app was Slide, and I thought someone was making a Lemmy version, but I'm not sure what happened.
