Voyager should be on there.
- That’s what I use but it’s just one of the several way to access Lemmy which is the first app shown.
- Nope. Preference should not be made.
- I prefer jerboa
- Maybe. But it's probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.
- Boost is best. Only thing that doesn't work great is spoiler markdown, otherwise it's great
- Please explain why.
  
  When I first joined Lemmy, it was not easy to find my way around. I left Reddit because they screwed over 3rd party apps, so finding Voyager early on was a blessing. I just want people to be aware that there is an easier way to navigate Lemmy, and they update regularly.

Nice work!
- She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.
What’s the most “mainstream” peertube instance? All I’ve seen is niche gaming stuff. Is there an instance that is more of a youtube replacement?
- tilvids probably. For the most mainstream general instance? Probably none. But freediverse, spectra and WTF are probably the best for it (imho ofc)
  
  Thanks mate! I haven't quite figured out how to use PeerTube yet, but I was able to join Freediverse now.
  
  Peertube.wtf is back!
- Really? I just installed it and all I see is news in French. When I try to add more "platforms", it tells me that I need to choose a platform first, but doesn't give me any options. It's like it just expects me to figure that out on my own. Very unintitive.
loops doesnt federate. why is it there?

no mbin (interstellar)?
- Because it's brand new and will eventually federate. The developer is deep in the fediverse so 100% it will
  
  But right now it doesn't....
- My understanding is that it will when it’s more strange and that the dev did the same thing with Pixelfed.
  
  im a big fan of not marketing your product until it can do the things you intend. theyve been spamming loops everywhere for over 6 months.
lemmy.world app when?

Edit: I was making a joke, not actually asking lol. Thanks to all that answered tho :)
- If you zoom in on the image, you can see a faint gray square inside of the Lemmy app icon. That means it’s a progressive web app (PWA) on iPhone.
  
  Open the webpage in Safari > tap share > tap add to Home Screen
  
  I didn't know that, thanks. I still think it's a little weird over just using something with the standard Lemmy icon, but it's a great image eitherway (lacking apps though)
- Does the default lemmy web interface support use as a progressive web app?
  
  I think one of the various interface options does, but you can just use one of the multitude of third party apps available as well.
  
  I know Voyager does.
  
  Not sure. I was just referencing that lemmy.world is an app in the picture lol
Am I the only one who is bothered by this pic. It looks so fake and photoshopped.

Maybe it’s because my phone has weird contrast settings for accessibility.

Obviously I think whoever made this pic has great intentions and it’ll definitely be good enough for an article banner or something which is what it’s most likely to be used for.
- Here is Elena's message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!
  
  Nah I’m not gonna dunk on her effort. I’m glad she made it. Don’t wanna be a downer to her.
  
  But it just looks off to me.
- Yeah it's a bad composite, not just you.
- Nah, the license doesn't allow you to crop it
  
  Edit: not sure why I was downvoted for explaining the legal limitations of use of the license
Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P
- Nah, it's a torrent client.
Gotta collect them allll… FEDIVERSE!
On iOS? Mlem rocks!
What is loops? Not seeing it on the play store
- A federated tiktok alternative by the same guy who made Pixelfed. You can find the app on testflight.
  
  It's not actually federated yet, not even open source. It's promising but Dan gets himself into a lot of controversy :/
  
  It doesn't even have a web ui yet, but it's pretty much finished (atleast from dans mastodon teasers). We only have to wait a couple of weeks or a month for it (i estimate at least)
  
  Don't get my negative comment wrong tho, i'm still excited for it, just disappointed so far from dan's handling of it.
  
  Here's the website: https://loops.video/
  
  @fxomt@lemm.ee this summary is gold.
  
  After reading through this, it wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?
  
  It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.
