I know it's been asked too much, but we've come a long way. Curious to see everything from the fullest trajectories/journeys to short wacky simples.

Why your instance, platform? What keeps you there? Are you a piefed PWA enjoyer? A traditional browser lemmy diehard? Do you refuse to use any front-end that isn't blorpblorp or has some invaluable feature like tesseract/alexandrite? I think there are even a few who only mobile voyager or ??(whatever that other popular one is...apollo maybe?) Curious to know what future options lie on the near future's horizon too

I admit I have trialed many but go back to plain browser more than not tho 😆

PS: I can't remember if these posts in anyway get federated out to other platforms like mastodon or what not, but would still be interested in their respective answers too

Just to explore, lonely I guess too. I just use piefed in the browser (FF) from piefed.world. I should join a less general instance I suppose that aligns with myself a bit more but I am lazy. I also did too much venting posting on this one and want to turn a new leaf lol. I haven't tried any mobile clients yet actually, I'm using my phone as little as possible these days. I just pop in now and then throughout the day.

+1 for the phone exclusion. I'm trying to get better about it, but the habitual aspect is tough to shake. Instance options are a real treat, but I advise most to let their preferred options arise naturally. Eventually something will call you toward it, and the motivation will manifest itself. One of those things thats closer to a 'let the universe come to you' kinda things imho Best of luck

That's along the lines of how I was thinking as well :) Thank you, appreciate you :)
