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.

Blorp. Also, toilet.

Voyager app on /e/OS - it's good and I made a donation to Voyager as well

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

For a moment I thought this was gonna be a "where are you from?" type question until I clicked out of curiosity...

Voyager on android. It's good for my usecase. Not much else I can say.

The mobile app Connect for Lemmy.

I tried a handful of apps year ago when I started and this was the best at the time. And it has improved over time, to the point where it is better even than Reddit Is Fun was back in the day.

[–] Gumus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Eternity. A rare one, judging by the rest of the comments.

[–] Meatwagon@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Piefed through Connect on mobile. Voyager was throwing out of date errors since my phone is on a very old version of android.

[–] bertlewirth@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Combination of phone (iOS - voyager) and desktop (arch btw, librewolf).

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

Earth. Mostly.

[–] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

vger.app on desktop most of the time.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

Connect, mostly. Tho sometimes I use the pawb.social website from my PC. Physically, I use it pretty much everywhere except while driving/biking.

[–] Balldowern@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Mobile when I'm away from home. Web when I'm at home.

[–] Boingboing_r@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Sync for Lemmy. Sync for Reddit closed down with the closing of the api and the Sync maker said come here instead. So here I am.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Piefed. Its all the things I like. And the dev is awesome.

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ElGrande@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bazzett@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Summit for Android. It's good and fast. I've tried some web apps, but I always return to Summit.

In fairness, the internet is a series of tubes…

[–] Aerosol3215@piefed.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Straight from my ass for your consumption.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

You think that's bad, you should see the uriness

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mobile, voyager. Almost always. Though as a community mod Voyager has some weird quirks and I find myself having to resolve some weird cases via desktop.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Voyager App.
Almost exclusively.

Voyager. I've been extremely happy with it.

[–] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

iOS voyager webapp

It works very smoothly, it’s very efficient and without it I wouldn’t browse lemmy as often.

Before I discovered lemmy I was using apollo for Reddit which was exactly what voyager is today. I think the apollo dev allowed voyager to use the code base of Apollo

On mobile with Voyager. I've tried other clients, but I always come back to Voyager.

I use Lemmy from the ~~toilet~~ sorry, I mean I'm on Voyager (F-Droid) on LineageOS!

[–] mschae@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] n0p1lls@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] mschae@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Voyager on phone for regular use. Then once in a while I log in on the desktop browser to save all my Star Trek memes and dump them on my company Slack.

It looks pretty good everywhere I’ve seen it. It’s a leg up from old Reddit, which was plain but stood the test of time.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 7 points 1 week ago

VSCode extension.

[–] itsjustachairmary@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] MuttMutt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I use a web browser on my android tablet 99% of the time. I don't believe in installing many apps to access something a web browser does just fine especially with a limited amount of storage.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

web. its pretty much how I prefer to do most things.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Browser. I hate apps, the greedy spying ones spoiled it for them all.

Blorp on a vanity instance :3

[–] zoltanshields@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
