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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I'm not using Lemmy at all.

I use mbin mostly through Interstellar on my phone, occasionally the desktop web interface.

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

Same here. Had to disable the swipe actions because I use android's gesture navigation. But it's the only app I've used that gets out of its own way.

Sync for Lemmy

I was a long time Sync user (used it for years on Reddit before Lemmy) but it has been abandoned by the Dev. It hasn't been updated since Mar 2024. I got sick of all the little stuff that didn't work right and ended up moving to Voyager.

I use the default interface in browser primarily, but I use Boost on my phone as well as Voyager.

I'm an old school geek. To me, an "app" is basically software running on a phone (in that context), or perhaps software running on a computer (although typically I'd use "application" there, but it depends. A small "application" might be an "app"). I know this is not universal. But for example, to me, reddit or Facebook or Lemmy is not an "app", it is a "website" that you can access via a browser or an app.
