I'm using Mozilla Firefox on both smartphone and Windows. I've been using Firefox since an on-and-off usage with Chrome in 2017. I knew Firefox's throne a looong time before Google took over the web.
Tried Linux Mint, but my essential app (Fade In) fucked my writings' formatting and it's frustrating to edit +100-page works.
document editors on vim and emacs = πΏ
But dude, this ain't no coding. It's a screenwriting software.
Huh, here I am with the other odd solution: Latex, lol!
Seriously though, I am guessing may special formatting considerations for that kind of thing, but I won't be surprised if someone out there have already made a plugin or an extension for that kind of a usecase.
However, for professional work, I'd rather stick with the ones that are used by other professionals in the field (at least until feature parity).
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 mobile phone, I use the Jerboa app, which I've gotten fromβ 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
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
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.
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! π₯Ή
You might be right about most people here could be more technologically-inclined. To begin with, Lemmy's UI is still confusing. Also I can imagine a lot of people asking "wtf is an instance", etc. Although this might change especially it gains more traction.
I currently browse using desktop on Firefox (don't let Chrome win the internet). Hope we will have a good mobile client soon. That being said, aRcH bTw.

The main reason I started this thread is because I want to be proven wrong, dammit! π
But seriously, yeah, parang ang labo na i-introduce ang mga non-techies sa Lemmy. I'd no sooner just ask for their permission and make an account for them than to walk them through the steps.
And I agree about using Firefox instead of Chrome. Unfortunately, my work requires me to use a Chromium browser (testing and other stuff) so I use Ungoogled Chromium instead.
How's Xmonad treating you, btw? I once flirted with the idea of using a tiling window manager for this work account, thinking that the way I use apps/programs could be streamlined using it. I ended up not going through it, however, since, well, tamad ako. Lol!
I'm using Lemmy from desktop and iPhone. I'm simultaneously using the Memmy App and browser when using the iPhone.
On a Win11 laptop at home, a Win 10 desktop at work, Jerboa for Lemmy on Android anywhere, and Vivaldi Browser for Android when I need features the current Jerboa app doesn't have yet.
I'm both accessing lemmy from mobile and desktop
I have 2 phones, Huawei y6p, and Sony Xperia C4(sira talaga to ang lala ng ghost touches at battery issues noon but from some reason lahat ng issues niya biglang umayos) I browse lemmy interchangeably from these mobiles, both are debloated.
Sa desktop naman Windows 10 at firefox with uBO ang gamit ko, but formerly Linux user tlga ako nagamit ko na ang Arch, Artix, Kali, Fedora, Linuxmint, napilitan lang ako mag Windows uli kasi nasira ko dati yung pc namin na may importanteng files nung ininstallan ko ng qubes os simula nun pinagbawalan nako mag kalikot kalikot, nakakalungkot lang kasi di ko na magawa yung mga dati kong nagagawa sa linux miss ko na i-customize yung dwm my fav window manager, miss ko na yung yt-dlp, basta marami pakong namimiss na nakalimutan ko na, WINDOWS IS TOO RESTRICTING pero alam ko may open-source na Windows OS nakalimutan ko lang ang pangalan atsaka nung last na ginamit ko yung open-source na windows na yun di siya pde as daily driver kasi maraming bawal sa kaniya, I also formerly used an open-source Chrome OS which is yung Open Fyde OS pero ginamit ko lang yun para mag laro ng alto's odyssey and haven't explored that much
nasira ko dati yung pc namin na may importanteng files nung ininstallan ko ng qubes os simula nun pinagbawalan nako mag kalikot kalikot
Dude, tapang mo ah! Lol! Saka lang ako nag-umpisang-magkakalikot sa PC (and laptop) nung nagkaroon na ako ng PC na ako lang ang gumagamit. Takot din kasi ako na baka may mawalang files eh (tho it's just me and my brother using the PC before).
WINDOWS IS TOO RESTRICTING
I find it weird that other people think Linux is the one that is restricted--well, not that weird considering that a lot of the software people are used to using (Photoshop, MS Word) etc, aren't available in Linux, but IDK, main driving a Linux distro since late 2019 has done nothing but destroy this "Linux is restricting!" view that I also used to share with others.
alam ko may open-source na Windows OS nakalimutan ko lang ang pangalan atsaka nung last na ginamit ko yung open-source na windows
Wth is this unicorn? This is kinda interesting, I wonder what Microsoft thought about this.
All in all, we are both confirming the stereotype I've had coming in, lol! Langya! π€£
Sa mga magtatanong nga pala kung debloated ba yung Windows 10 ko hindi pala kasi nga natatakot nako mag kalikot kalikot haha pero nagawa ko na siya dati baka kasi pag nasira ko ito yung pag debloat pa ang masisi
Same! I just left my Windows "partition" (actually, a separate SSD given to me by my friend) alone, almost vanilla.
I only use it to play games I can't play on Linux eh, so... yeah!
Browser lang ako, both desktop and mobile
So far... Poorly.
Madalas mobile gamit Jerboa. Nagaabang rin ako ng alternative na web frontend (tulad ng Elk at Pinfore sa Mastodon).
Kapag sa PC, Windows main ako pero medyo kakasimula ko pa lang sa Linux thru Q4OS (Deb/KDE based)
Using kbin as it was the first instance I signed up for. The Fediverse concept blew my mind when I first heard of it a couple of days ago. I had heard of Mastodon before but since I was barely using Twitter anymore, I didn't feel the need to sign up. So this was my real introduction into the federation concept.
On desktop: Firefox with Tampermonkey and Stylus add-ons. Using this script for Tampermonkey, and this stylesheet for Stylus.
On mobile: Firefox with Tampermonkey (Stylus isn't available on mobile yet). Using the script on I use on desktop, but also this one.
Yes, techie. Completed an IT-related course.
its available on firefox nightly
and for me the most important extention oneko hahahaha, you see the tiny cat there
kbin website
mobile: android miui, im afraid to mod my OS wala akong 2nd phone eh, jerboa/firefox nightly
desktop: I'm dual boot but I rarely use my Win 10 so for me its ubuntu unity 20.04, firefox
While working/nasa bed, Jerboa. Other than that, desktop.
I'm fortunate that this place doesn't have any trolls yet so mod tools (which is only on desktop and quite sparse) isn't too important for now.
Lol~βbuti na lang talaga wala pang trolls dito. Sana by the time na magsidatingan sila dito, okay na ang mod tooling ng Lemmy.
Iβm using kbin on Firefox on iOS.
I first joined on lemmy in the lemmy.world instance. Ok naman siya sa browser ng PC. But then the iOS apps for lemmy are on beta and have a lot of problems pa (mlem beta is even out of slots). Kbin doesnβt have apps on beta afaik, but the interface is better than lemmy to use on mobile browser apps.
So Iβll probably be maining using my kbin account hahaha.
I use kbin and it's about a 50/50 mix of phone and laptop.
Android jerboa gamit, dont really browse that much using desktop or laptop sa Lemmy.
I'm using Jerboa and browser in mobile phone.
kbin PWA through Safari on an iPad Pro here. If anyone here is building an app on iOS, please donβt do that thing where you only do vertical layout - it drives me batty!
Firefox both on PC (Fedora) and on smartphone (CalyxOS).
But I'm really looking forward to the native app to come out
