Most clients unfortunately target Android. But for things I open often I prefer to not use Waydroid.

I recently found https://github.com/lemmygtk/lemoa. I found it’s usable, but not very adaptive. What do you use?

i use the web client through Tangram, which is just a web browser (webkitgtk) with UX tailored to hosting web apps.

i keep lemoa installed and i give it a try every update to see how it’s progressing. hopeful that it’ll be a lower-resource option in time, but for now it requires more clicks to do things like view images, which negates most of those benefits.

A while ago I made a basic Lemmy app for Ubuntu Touch: https://github.com/poVoq/ulemmy

I doubt it still works as I abandoned it when my Nexus4 broke and thus I didn’t have a phone to test it on, but most likely it could be revived by someone.

I just use the web interface or mlmym.org on LibreWolf. Never been a fan of apps even on Android.

Are you using Librewolf on a phone?

That is awesome. Does it work well on a phone screen? I’m just starting to experiment with an Ubuntu Touch install and would love to have Librewolf running on it.

@Shatur Mastodon here instead of Lemmy, but makes no difference on the Fediverse.

Depends on what you mean by “makes no difference” - there being good Mastodon apps for Linux phones doesn’t really help those who can’t stand Twitter-style social media!

@cnnrduncan I mean that I am able to consume lemmy content like this post and to interact with it like my replies. Personal interface preferrence is irrelevant, anyone is free to use anything they like.

In my opinion, personal interface preference isn’t really irrelevant when you originally replied to somebody who was specifically asking for Lemmy app suggestions.

I thought about it, but looks like I need to register a different account on a Mastodon instance in order to login, right?

@Shatur
Yes. I think it either works or is discussed to make signing to Lemmy with Mastodon account work, but not the other way around.
Lemmy is pretty young I think, so its client app base will grow over time.

What client would you recommend? What I found inconvenient is that all comments are mixes with posts…

Yes, that’s the way Mastodon works. I use Tuba, Tootle was also fine.

I don’t use a dedicated app at all to use Lemmy on my Librem 5 daily-driver. I access it via Firefox. To do this, I created a dedicated Firefox profile for Lemmy and created an app icon for it in the app gallery. More details here.
