There are plenty of third party apps for Lemmy on Android/iPhone or Web, but are there any decent apps built for desktop use? Is it just simply a matter of relying on a web interface currently, or are there any well rounded apps out there that are worth mentioning.
I just use the website of the instance I prefer on desktop via Firefox. On mobile, I use Liftoff.
I use Alexandrite on desktop. Nice, modern interface that maximizes screen real estate with its 2-panel layout.
Love the interface and it does cover the entire screen, dark mode is a plus as well, thanks checking it out now.
I started using it because it was the first one I could find with infinite scrolling. I’ve just gotten used to it now.
If you have an Apple chip Mac Voyager can be used on desktop.
Thanks for this, it’s an interesting option, I tried it on my M1 Mac and it’s pretty close to what I was hoping for. Using a web app and browser for me doesn’t always work well when I decide to shut down and clear my cookies, this will always force me to sign in again.
I use the basic frontend with Firefox.
A lot of extensions and userscripts support it it, and while there are are other frontends depending on your instance, I found them buggy.
You can find a lot of the extensions on communities that keep track of that. I use a few of extensions a lot, like Instance Assistant. Others look cool but I haven’t tried them much, like the multi-lemmy one

On pc I am using voyager web app. It works just fine.
