I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

Am I weird for still just using Firefox? I don't see the need for a standalone client.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 14 points 1 year ago

Well you still use a UI; do you use the default web UI or something like photon?

The only reason I use a client is on mobile just because it integrates better, and I still flipflop between a photon PWA and Sync/Liftoff

Default UI, just on dark. Might look into photon though.

Photon is really cool! I use it as much as I can over the default UI, it's just better (except it takes a little getting used to the upvote colors)

Are you on desktop? I assumed clients were more a mobile thing

[-] Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Nope, I'm on Mobile. Since all I really use lemme for is text posts, links to articles about things, and the occasional star trek meme, there's just no added value in using a client for me. I have no interest in ad-supported software at all, so if there's a decent FOSS one I'd maybe try it eventually, but unless there's something as minimalistic as BaconReader, probably not.

Not weird, but definitely missing out in smoothness, check out Sync or Summit if you use Android.
