    Second for Voyager. Is there a way to flip the colors so upvote is red (and not blue)?

    Web browser doesn't mean much, you still are using a web client. OP mentioned Blorp, that has a web client and some instances give you the choice of using the client you prefer. Check blahaj for example.

    Blorp dev here. The native apps are really a lightweight wrapper around the blorp web app. I like the portability of webapps and you can easily self host Blorp. The native wrapper just adds a little polish to the install, but it’s not required.

    I've taken to using Summit it took a bit of figuring out and configuring before I decided to keep to it.

    Voyager can separate my subscribed communities from my All feed, so I can scroll my Home feed and switch to All and not see the subscribed posts I've just finished viewing.

    I've tried Blorp and Jerboa but settled on Voyager. Afaik neither of them can sort my Home out of my All.

    Blorp dev here. I forget if you were the person that asked for this feature, but hiding subscribed from all/local will be released in v1.14.0. Sorry for dragging my feet with the release. Hopefully I will get this out in the next week after a little more testing. It’s already working on blorpblorp.xyz if you want to try it.

    I just look at vanilla lemmy.world on a browser. I'm not really sure what an "instance" is, other than .mil sucks.

    I use Blorp with Piefed, because there is a bug in voyager that prevents me from logging in.

    I use Voyager for Lemmy.

    I dont use a desktop at all.

    If you use Blorp on desktop, why not use it mobile as well? There are mobile versions for both platforms

    Blorp but i try to switch with interstellar to mbin (at some point i need to delete blorp)

    Boost (for Piefed). I know its not free, but everything else is either missing too many features, or uses a UI style I don't like.

    Browser on desktop, Interstellar on mobile

    Jerboa on Android. Its fast and great.

  • source
  • [–] 1 point 5 months ago

    I don't use a desktop client but I used to use Jerboa for android before something happened that I can't remember that made me switch to Voyager for android. Don't need a desktop client because I do all my intentional looking at Lemmy on my phone.

    I'm using Thunder on Android for both Lemmy and PieFed. It's working decently well, but doesn't support all features. The main missing one for me is PieFed's crosspost viewing. I hearing a lot of good things about Voyager lately, maybe I'll give it a shot soon.

    Thunder, but only because Lemmy doesn't support user tags. It's nice to not accidentally interact wirh a shit head because you forgot they were a shit head.

    Otherwise the mobile website is perfectly fine without an app.

    Voyager for desktop/browser because of the 2-column layout option. I loved Alexandrite and it had that feature, but I think it hasn’t been updated in a while and it doesn’t support piefed. For mobile, I use Thunder.

    voyager and boost on android, mlmym on web/desktop

    Native Web interface on desktop. Eternity for Lemmy on Android. Interstellar for PieFed on Android.

    EDIT: While the last time I used Mbin on Android, there was only the PWA client, I suppose I'd probably at least try Interstellar for Mbin if I were using an Mbin instance right now. Can't vouch for it specifically on Mbin instances, though; no experience with it there. My assumption is that the experience would be pretty much the same as Interstellar elsewhere.

    EDIT2: On the desktop Lemmy native Web interface, I do use the Firefox add-on Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin on Lemmy instances. Lemmy doesn't really have a great way to link to anything other than communities via bang links (!community@instance); any other link (like, if someone wants to link to a comment or post) takes you off your home instance. You will probably run into links that take you off your home instance. This sticks a button in the sidebar of Lemmy instances to let you bounce to the same page as viewed through your home instance.

    If you use a PieFed home instance, it tries to deal with this by rewriting links in posts and comments targeting other Threadiverse instances to aim at pages on your home instance. That has some benefits


    simpler for an end user


    but also some problems in that it's kind of obnoxious if someone explicitly wants to link to a page on another instance. But if you're using a PieFed home instance, you probably won't run into that problem, so you won't need the add-on.

    I don't know whether and if Mbin attempts to address the problem.
