Hey there. Just started my journey with lemmy and am not so much a fan of using it in a browser. Is there some linux app I might try? (I use arch btw.)
No one wants to 😞 . I have over 90 github notifications alone in the span of several days, each of them requiring at least 5 minutes of response or investigation. I just want to code.
Welcome. Sure, Linux Mint's WebApp Manager or Peppermint OS's Ice are here for you. But jokes aside, sadly, no. Lemmy does not have a native Linux application as of now. But you can make use of the fact that the browser UI is a PWA which can be installed like a regular app as well.
Proper PWA support isn't in v0.17.3 (although mobile browsers will let you add it as an app). However, PWA support was merged into the main branch. I'm not sure which release it will be a part of though.
I really like the shift in the community. Now developers are already thinking of migrating their app to a lemmy backend. Especially in the Apollo subreddit this gets suggested hundreds of times. I really hope that the big apps will eventually shift as well and this might be a big thing moving people to try out different platforms
I'm personally very new to lemmy myself, you might be able to use Tafkars (!tafkars@feddit.de) if it works for desktop to proxy requests to your Lemmy instance.
