Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

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.

I'll start with mine.

I mostly use the desktop. My OS is Arch Linux and I use LibreWolf to access Lemmy.

Below is my fetch output:

On the times I use my (Android)β€Œ mobile phone, I use the Jerboa app, which I've gotten fromβ€Œ F-Droid.


I feel kinda ashamed at how smug I appear here. Also, yes, I'm currently at my work account.

You forgot to add "btw"

Is it better if I disclose that I actually installed Manjaro instead of Arch? (A friend of mine changed it to Arch using some black magic I can't even understand--all with my permission, ofc.)

wow 16 gb ram hehe 8 gb lang akin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Basically, 16GB is enough for long term. I have my laptop here (Ryzen 5 Pro, 1TB NVMe, 16GB 3200Mhz RAM) na napaka-overkill for writings. lol

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

That's what I thought too! Kaso parang recently, nakukulangan pa ako. Mejo sakto lang for now ang 16GB for the kind of work I do here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since ang talagang target ko sa build na ito is for a workstation kind of a build, akala ko tama lang ang 16GB, but recently, mejo nagsisi akong hindi nag-32GB, lol! Ang lakas kumain ng VScode ng memory eh! πŸ₯Ή

Might i ask, de-googled android phone?

For me, jerboa on (googled still) samsung A52. Pop!_os 20.40 on two laptops, linux mint xfce 20.3 on a 12 year old laptop. :) librewolf on all three.

Di ko pala nakita ito, sorry!

I didn't go full de-google, but just opted for just a bit of de-bloating.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No worries dude. :) i don't expect people to be attached to their social media. Thanks for clarifying though. Same boat tayo. Gusto ko man mag-full FOSS, medyo mahirap at marami pang hindi ko ma-give up. :) lalo na sa cellphone.

Baby steps, I guess? Little by little, we learn how to remove shit on our phones, then maybe we can do more as we gain more confidence.

does jeroba support kbin? I downloaded it but the app was kinda confusing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hindi ata eh, but I've heard there is a Kbin mobile app incoming--but for iOS.

As far as I've read naman, mukhang okay naman daw ang kbin sa mobile browser, so maybe that's an option?


EDIT: Wait, mali ata ako, it's for both iOS and Android? Kaso mukhang beta pa lang siya.
