toot! https://github.com/ihabunek/toot
Use it all the time in the terminal. Plus its a great name.
Jerboa on android. Its excellent.
Fedilab for mastodon on the phone.
Peertube for android. The new app is pretty good, just wish it had logging in and looking at my subscriptions.
Phanpy for mastodon on my laptop. Great mastodon browser.
w3m / Links2 for everything else of course.
Looks really cool!
I got everything but the image support working without any real effort. Just pip install toot.
Nice thanks for the info!
I have mastodon and lemmy, and to a much lesser extent Bluesky.
Iβm on iOS, so ice cubes, and voyager
Ngl I donβt like bluesky I had trouble trying to delete my account
Oh interesting, I deleted my first easily I think. I was going to leave it but ended up wanting it for a few things
Well I ran into a rate limit then it just wouldnβt let me click delete afterwards, in the end I had to make a GDPR request to delete my account and data
None.
I use the web UI.
Fair enough, any particular web UI or just the default ones?
Default lemmy UI, but I changed the default dark theme to the light theme, the dark theme looks weird to me.
I don't think my instance has alternative web UIs.
You could try lemmy web apps, basically an app ui for on the web, unless you use lemmy on a computer
Thunder for Lemmy on Android.
Tusky for Mastodon on Android.
I rarely use either Lemmy or Mastodon on desktop. If I do, it's just through the web client.
Is it me or I really can't see likes and dislikes count on Thunder?
They can be tiny I guess. I can't really say, I disable like/dislike counts.
Just lemmy but I've been meaning to check out funkwhale.
Oh yes the music app right?
(Website)
That's right. It seems interesting but I don't have time to aggressively expand my music library in a conscientious way right now.
i think there is confusion if you mean clients or platforms
i think you meant to ask about platforms? as in lemmy, mastodon, friendica, peertube, misskey, akkoma, mbin, pleroma, gnusocial, ?threads?
I meant both apps and clients, kinda forgot to put the second part
Lucky for you, enough people are confusing the terms that you're getting answers for both haha
Phaha yeah I was thinking that
Summit on Android, only.
Voyager for Lemmy on Android (slightly better experience than Jerboa imho), and Tusky for Mastodon. Soletimes Fedilab because it handles multiple accounts and platforms (Pixelfed...)
Tusky, for Mastodon, and Sync for Lemmy. Last I checked the Sync developer appeared to be missing in action, so might need to switch to something else in the not too distant future.
I thought sync was a paid service?
Ads if you're not paying, unless you're blocking them, ofc.
Fair play, seems alright
Tusky on Android.
Arctic for Lemmy. Also have Peertube app but thereβs not much hosted there yet.
May I ask what made you choose peertube
I wanted ad-free videos.
Ahh that makes sense, Iβve assume youβve heard of invidious and pied and the other similar front ends
Nope
Invidious is basically a private front end for YouTube, however once you choose an instance go and change the settings to suit your needs. Try different instances and see which works best for you.
My favourite is https://inv.nadeko.net/
If you want to self host you can as well.
Hope that helped
They got an iOS app?
Not that Iβm aware of Iβm not sure, however you can add the website to your Home Screen and make it a web app I believe
The Jerboa Lemmy client, and Mastodon's official client. I think they're both fine enough for my fediverse browsing needs.
This one
Only Voyager, i would be interested in a decentralized bandcamp alternative
Also Voyager.
Wish it had a 'forward' button for when you accidentally go back one step too far. RiF had that.
You could make the suggestion to the dev
I use Mastodon and Pixelfed
Summit for Lemmy (Android) and Moshidon for Mastodon (Android).
