Has anyone found a Debian client for Lemmy? I’m really surprised nothing exists yet and wonder if my search skills are just lacking. This is what found:
- lemoa is non-Debian, and dying
- neonmodem is non-Debian, and crashes
- nnreddit is non-Debian, and only rumored to be getting ported to activitypub; the repo for that project is a broken website for me
(Non-debian just means they are not in the Debian repos, not that they don’t work on Debian).
…A browser.
No, actually, I always use web apps on desktop. I only download apps if it’s something like Discord. For social media? Web. Always web.
Javascript clients aren’t good for that. Lemmy/kbin/mastodon nodes vanish all the time without warning. All your posts: gone. JS has no practical way to integrate local storage, thus no historic content when a server vanishes.
Not to mention as well that web UIs tend to force you to use a mouse, which is a slower workflow.
I see. Well, I can at least help search for a client, and I’ll get back if I can find anything myself.
Probably not helpful, but here are all the Linux desktop Lemmy clients I could fined:
- Liftoff https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff
- Lemonade https://github.com/theycallhermax/lemonade
- Interstellar https://github.com/jwr1/interstellar
