That’s what I use but it’s just one of the several way to access Lemmy which is the first app shown.

Maybe. But it’s probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

When I first joined Lemmy, it was not easy to find my way around. I left Reddit because they screwed over 3rd party apps, so finding Voyager early on was a blessing. I just want people to be aware that there is an easier way to navigate Lemmy, and they update regularly.

Boost is best. Only thing that doesn’t work great is spoiler markdown, otherwise it’s great

What’s the most “mainstream” peertube instance? All I’ve seen is niche gaming stuff. Is there an instance that is more of a youtube replacement?

tilvids probably. For the most mainstream general instance? Probably none. But freediverse, spectra and WTF are probably the best for it (imho ofc)

Really? I just installed it and all I see is news in French. When I try to add more “platforms”, it tells me that I need to choose a platform first, but doesn’t give me any options. It’s like it just expects me to figure that out on my own. Very unintitive.

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

Because it’s brand new and will eventually federate. The developer is deep in the fediverse so 100% it will

They’ve done federation on a few test posts, but it’s definitely not there yet for normal users to use.

My understanding is that it will when it’s more strange and that the dev did the same thing with Pixelfed.

im a big fan of not marketing your product until it can do the things you intend. theyve been spamming loops everywhere for over 6 months.

It’s also very featureless. Basically videos, comments, likes. I’m on it, and I’ve opened it maybe 6x in 2 weeks? I also think it’s just an open feed; all the videos posted in chronological order (but I could be wrong here). Idk if this goes against the Fediverse creed to have an algorithm-fed feed, but I think part of the nature of these short form, endless-scrolling apps is finding vids about your interests from new places.

Well Microsoft has been doing it for 30 years.

With the Tiktok ban I think marketing it prematurely has been a good thing and introduced a number of people from that world into the fediverse.

If you zoom in on the image, you can see a faint gray square inside of the Lemmy app icon. That means it’s a progressive web app (PWA) on iPhone.

Open the webpage in Safari > tap share > tap add to Home Screen

I didn’t know that, thanks. I still think it’s a little weird over just using something with the standard Lemmy icon, but it’s a great image eitherway (lacking apps though)

Does the default lemmy web interface support use as a progressive web app?

I think one of the various interface options does, but you can just use one of the multitude of third party apps available as well.
