I get the sense a few more users have joined Lemmy/Piefed from Reddit because of something that happened over there. Welcome to all the Reddit refugees out there.

I'll just put out a quick PSA that in addition to a multitude of mobile applications to use Lemmy and Piefed (see this megathread), there are web applications that change the UI to give you a more familiar experience without needing to install an app. Most exist on a per-site basis so you'll have to see if the instance your account is on installed them (or you can browse as a guest). Check the instance sidebar or ask your local admin.

Here are a few notable examples:

• Alexandrite a.lemmy.world, alex.lemmy.ca etc. Clean, full image previews when scrolling.
• mlmym (Old Desktop Reddit style) old.lemmy.world, old.lemmy.ca etc.
• Photon p.lemmy.world, photon.lemmy.ca, well laid out for mobile use but works well on desktop
• Blorp blorp.lemmy.world, blorp.lemmy.ca etc. more optimized for mobile
• Voyager and tessaract and more.

Each are maintained by 3rd party mostly volunteer developers, so be aware, in case of breaking changes to Lemmy that might affect how well these frontends work.

Tesseract is my favorite: https://tesseractui.org/post/startrek.website/40236571

I use Voyager because I was a big fan of Apollo.

Voyager is awesome. I've tried about 5 different amdroid apps and Voyager has been the best.
