I’m going to run this as a poll by creating some responses you can upvote. If you wouldn’t mind upvoting a an existing comment so we get get a really nice count. See the comments I’m Leaving to get an idea of how the poll works. Try to follow my comment structure, but add your own options if you really feel I’m missing something.
I really hope this works how I’m envisioning. I really want to get an idea of operating system and platform preference skew for Lemmy.
How to vote:
- Upvote the operating system you use
- Upvote how your download the app of choice
If you use a browser
- Find the “Browser” comment and upvote
- Upvote the browser you use
If you use multiple, feel free to upvote multiple
For anything that isn’t a vote, please search for the “bump comment” and reply to that. I know this isn’t exactly open ended, but I really wanted to pose this question to a community that didn’t skew towards a specific topic. I hope that’s ok with this community and the mods. I would love to discuss the results of this poll at some point. My goal is to collect those results in a way that informs that discussion so we’re not all guessing how people use Lemmy.
Edit: because there is a troll downvoting comments randomly, you should look at just the upvotes, not the score, to get the correct poll results.

Huh, that’s not a browser, but I’ll take a look at it nonetheless. I am currently using Alexandrite as a browser frontend though. But thanks!
(In terms of this survey, IDK where browser frontends should be placed, I am not sure if it should be here or its own top-level category)

Voyager for Lemmy
This should have a bump comment for ppl to reply to if they respond otherwise it’ll die out pretty quick from little perceived interaction
I am confused about the inclusion of Linux as an OS in this survey. Does a Lemmy package exist for desktop Linux? Or is the Linux option for Linux phones?
Good question. I didn’t think too hard about what clients exist or not in case there was one that I’m not aware of. But I’m also curious what Linux client people are referring to.
Great idea!
Edit: thank you to the person who took the time to downvote every comment on the post.
Vger Web app. Linux

So, there are Lemmy apps for Linux? Please share, people, I couldn’t find any when searching flathub (via GNOME Software) for Lemmy!
Thanks!
You can probably run Android apps through Waydroid if you really want to.
