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'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.

[–] Henry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

document editors on vim and emacs = πŸ—Ώ

[–] PancitCantot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (7 children)

But dude, this ain't no coding. It's a screenwriting software.

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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).

Okay lang yung Lemmy sa mobile Firefox? Was considering using it but I chickened out. Besides, I have a bunch of tabs permanently open in there anyways, lol!

Too bad about Linux Mint. It has always had a special place in my heart for the distro that introduced me to Linux way back early 2000s' when our school replaced all our Windows machines with Linux ones.β€Œβ€Œ Also, I am kinda sad about the poor state of Linux support among some apps/programs, kesyo 2% lang daw ang gumagamit ng Linux or whatever.

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.

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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.

wow 16 gb ram hehe 8 gb lang akin

[–] PancitCantot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Using a laptop. I've since deleted reddit apps on my phone, and I am waiting for sync to come up with their lemmy alternative.

I'm still holding on to my reddit account to get a list of all the subs i've subscribed to, and intend to archive and delete everything once I'm certain there's a good alternative to reddit, be it Lemmy, or something else.

Si u/Sped supot.

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wait, the Sync team said they're working on a Lemmy app? That's going to rock... even if I'm more of a Relay fan.

Edit: It's true, it's damn true!

Yep it is! Ah beat me to the link!

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] megane_kun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lol~β€Œbuti na lang talaga wala pang trolls dito. Sana by the time na magsidatingan sila dito, okay na ang mod tooling ng Lemmy.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Henry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Henry@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] MuskX@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I use kbin on mobile (Galaxy S23 Ultra).

I've used Hermit Premium to create a Lite App (sort of a web app).

It's a good solution for now, feels like I've actually got a kbin app!

[–] AgedashiTofu@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I’m 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 doesn’t have apps on beta afaik, but the interface is better than lemmy to use on mobile browser apps.

So I’ll probably be maining using my kbin account hahaha.

[–] tahann@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa and browser in mobile phone.

I'm using mostly Kbin but also trying Lemmy using Friendly (Originally for Facebook), cause it allows me to create web apps in the app and keeps all my socials in one place.

[–] Tsunami45chan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] dadidutdut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

On a windows laptop

[–] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] TheZeke@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So far... Poorly.

[–] Grimlo9ic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
