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...)

[–] minyaen@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Lemmy - Eternity (Android) Lemmy - Photon [phtn.app] (Windows) Mastodon - Moshidon (Android) Mastodon - mastodon, elk (Windows) Bluesky - Bluesky (Android/Windows)

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

I got everything but the image support working without any real effort. Just pip install toot.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Nice thanks for the info!

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The Jerboa Lemmy client, and Mastodon's official client. I think they're both fine enough for my fediverse browsing needs.

[–] glans@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I meant both apps and clients, kinda forgot to put the second part

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lucky for you, enough people are confusing the terms that you're getting answers for both haha

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Phaha yeah I was thinking that

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I have mastodon and lemmy, and to a much lesser extent Bluesky.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ngl I don’t like bluesky I had trouble trying to delete my account

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh interesting, I deleted my first easily I think. I was going to leave it but ended up wanting it for a few things

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

Well I ran into a rate limit then it just wouldn’t let me click delete afterwards, in the end I had to make a GDPR request to delete my account and data

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fair enough, any particular web UI or just the default ones?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

You should still be able to try something like Photon

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You could try lemmy web apps, basically an app ui for on the web, unless you use lemmy on a computer

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Summit on Android, only.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just lemmy but I've been meaning to check out funkwhale.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Oh yes the music app right?

(Website)

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago

That's right. It seems interesting but I don't have time to aggressively expand my music library in a conscientious way right now.

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Arctic for Lemmy. Also have Peertube app but there’s not much hosted there yet.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

May I ask what made you choose peertube

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ahh that makes sense, I’ve assume you’ve heard of invidious and pied and the other similar front ends

[–] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

Not that I’m aware of I’m not sure, however you can add the website to your Home Screen and make it a web app I believe

Tusky on Android.

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought sync was a paid service?

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ads if you're not paying, unless you're blocking them, ofc.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Fair play, seems alright

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] isagani@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it me or I really can't see likes and dislikes count on Thunder?

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

They can be tiny I guess. I can't really say, I disable like/dislike counts.

[–] WeAreAllOne@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Summit for Lemmy (Android) and Moshidon for Mastodon (Android).

[–] small44@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Only Voyager, i would be interested in a decentralized bandcamp alternative

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also Voyager.

Wish it had a 'forward' button for when you accidentally go back one step too far. RiF had that.

[–] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

You could make the suggestion to the dev

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

Pixeldroid - Pixelfed Mastodon Lemmy - Jerboa, Eternity

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

I use Mastodon and Pixelfed
