Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

How are you guys accessing and interacting with this community? (lemmy.world)

I'm interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it's via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop.

If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using?

If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you're using it via a mobile browser.

Of course, you guys can add more details.

Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I've had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I'm curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.

UPDATE:

As promised, here's a link to the compiled data (with some rudimentary stats). I will be adding more onto them this weekend (if more replies come in).

First of all, thank you to all who've responded. While my preconceptions haven't been shattered, I'm also pleasantly surprised to find out non-techies, refugees from Reddit, who have jumped in to the Threadiverse despite it all. I dunno if that's indicative of the dumpster fire that is Reddit right now, or the tenacity of those who've sought refuge here. Maybe both.

I will be expanding on my thoughts, and others, on a separate reply.

Android jerboa gamit, dont really browse that much using desktop or laptop sa Lemmy.

kbin PWA through Safari on an iPad Pro here. If anyone here is building an app on iOS, please don’t do that thing where you only do vertical layout - it drives me batty!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox both on PC (Fedora) and on smartphone (CalyxOS).
But I'm really looking forward to the native app to come out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Kbin PWA on a Pixel 6. And kbin PWA on a Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook and kbin PWA on a Windows 10 laptop.

Mainly through desktop/windows. Im still having a hard time navigating jerboa. I'll wait for the eventual updates for the app.

Nag dual boot ako ng linux mint at windows 11 sa laptop ko. Firefox ang gamit ko kung mag lemmy ako.

Sa mobile jeroba ang gamit ko. Also guys may tanong ako paano mag switch ng server sa jeroba? Meron akong dalawang lemmy account pero iba ang server.

Punta ka sa home tab ng Jerboa app, tapos i-click mo yung hamburger menu (upper-left) and then click mo yung parang triangle to the right of your profile picture.

Click mo yung "add account"

Fill in the necessary details and then click 'login'

Verify mo kung tama yung URL ng instance mo ah! Kunwari, kung may account ka sa beehaw, eto yung dapat na nakalagay sa instance text box: beehaw.org

EDIT: Clarified the instructions.

On mobile, Jerboa. I am not tech savvy and lemmy.world and the other instances are still confusing to me. But I want to ditch reddit for good so I'll cope.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

On a windows laptop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not in the Philippines but found this post on All. I'm using the /kbin PWA icon on my phone mostly. Looks like this.

baka gusto nyo try, another script para mag look and feel old reddit style si lemmy using a browser

Currently mostly through the web browser on my iPad and occasionally the computer. I’d estimate a 90/10 split. If there ends up being a well made app for iOS I’d easily switch to and use that.

Accessing it via the Web on my desktop and then on the web app on my iPhone (bookmarked the site on Safari, which turns it into a basic app). I have Mlem and Memmy on my iPhone as well, but both are pretty bare bones at the moment and missing a lot of features. So I often find myself on the bookmarked-to-my-homescreen web app.

Like reddit, mobile is the primary place where I am accessing Lemmy, so I am REALLY hoping one of the existing apps becomes fully featured soon or Christian Selig develops an app like Apollo for Lemmy. I miss the Apollo app more than I miss Reddit. In terms of community and content, Lemmy seems promising as a "reddit replacement" but we really need some good mobile apps. That's what has helped Mastodon take off IMO.

@megane_kun

I stumbled in here from Reddit. I feel like a chimp trying to tune a radio, but everyone has been nice so far and there are stories on my home page to read, so I'm pretty content at the moment. I'm using the kbin app on a Samsung s10p
