For me personally, I use Blorp on desktop and Voyager on mobile. I've tried a lot of mobile clients but despite lacking a lot of piefed features, I like voyager because of the ui

Native Web interface on desktop. Eternity for Lemmy on Android. Interstellar for PieFed on Android.

EDIT: While the last time I used Mbin on Android, there was only the PWA client, I suppose I'd probably at least try Interstellar for Mbin if I were using an Mbin instance right now. Can't vouch for it specifically on Mbin instances, though; no experience with it there. My assumption is that the experience would be pretty much the same as Interstellar elsewhere.

EDIT2: On the desktop Lemmy native Web interface, I do use the Firefox add-on Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin on Lemmy instances. Lemmy doesn't really have a great way to link to anything other than communities via bang links (!community@instance); any other link (like, if someone wants to link to a comment or post) takes you off your home instance. You will probably run into links that take you off your home instance. This sticks a button in the sidebar of Lemmy instances to let you bounce to the same page as viewed through your home instance.

If you use a PieFed home instance, it tries to deal with this by rewriting links in posts and comments targeting other Threadiverse instances to aim at pages on your home instance. That has some benefits


simpler for an end user


but also some problems in that it's kind of obnoxious if someone explicitly wants to link to a page on another instance. But if you're using a PieFed home instance, you probably won't run into that problem, so you won't need the add-on.

I don't know whether and if Mbin attempts to address the problem.
