I know this will take some time to get used to, but I am using the Voyager app. I am confused on what local communities in comparison to the federate communities.
I’m also not sure why there are so many different apps for Lemmy because now I feel like I should be checking them all out, but Voyager is very similar to Apollo for Reddit so I feel most comfortable here.
What is an instance?
And how long will I be able to share photos? Since my account is one day old I can’t upload any pictures.
I’ll have more questions, but I can’t think of them right now, thanks in advance!
Apps are fine, but I’ll say it… the web UI actually works.
The browser already has features I want that most dedicated apps don’t have:
I was used to never using reddit outside of a third party app, but that’s mostly because their mobile web UI is actively hostile
Here, the mobile web UI… works.
Just a thought, might wanna give it a try.
I was on it earlier today at work (i think)!
For you the website would be
https://lemm.ee/
Same as your ‘instance’ (
lemm.ee)Do you use that broswer version more than the app? Sorry dumb q!
I use the Web interface on mobile and on computer all the time. It doesn’t nag you and try to push you like the reddit non-app interfaces did.
Not at all :)
I use a mobile app on my phone, and the browser on the computer.
While this data is somewhat outdated now, here is the data from a census we ran for lemmy.ca over a year ago

We didn’t include an option for web browser usage that time so the numbers are likely off, but we plan on fixing that next time.
The apps have also evolved a lot since then, so I’d go off of lemmyapps.com for judging popularity
