Did you know there’s more than one way to Lemmy? Since Lemmy usage has taken off, so have the projects to develop alternate frontends. When one seems promising, we will usually adopt it as an option.
Below are the official and 3rd party Lemmy user interfaces supported by DubVee:
Lemmy UI
The default Lemmy experience through the official frontend.

- Github: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui
Photon
A sleek, mobile and desktop friendly interface that can be installed as a PWA (progressive web app). This is currently my “editor’s choice” for Lemmy mobile access.

Voyager
A progressive web app (PWA) designed for mobile. Has both an Android and iOS (default) skin.
Mlmym
An old-Reddit style UI for Lemmy. Definitely nostalgic and scratches the “Reddit” itch, but feels a little claustrophobic sometimes. Still, it’s a solid UI, and I’m sure it will improve with time.

A sleek Lemmy UI designed primarily for desktops. The default option is annoyingly purple, and you can only change the theme once you’re logged in. The theme switcher is a slider which is weird/annoying. This UI is starting to grow on me, though.
FYI: photon is mostly meant for desktop, you should try it on desktop since I’ve improved the design a lot.
@[email protected] tagging to federate
wow, I guess mentioning can federate. Nice.
Oh it works great and I use it on both :) But, IMO, it’s better than any of the other Lemmy front ends for mobile. (I prefer PWAs to installed apps when possible).
Replying to your comment from Photon on my phone. Excellent work, and thanks for making this project.
