Hey there. Just started my journey with lemmy and am not so much a fan of using it in a browser. Is there some linux app I might try? (I use arch btw.)
I'm curious, what's wrong with the web version? I have a feeling that were GUI application written, it would use Electron or Tauri - aka a waste of resources to use an entirely new browser instance instead of a tab.
I'm just expressing my dislike of electron and tauri, but honestly curious about your reasons :) Everyone's allowed to have their preference
Well, that's exactly why people like me and OP want normal, like, built with GTK/QT, linux client. It's more lightweight and more integrated to system.
No one wants to 😞 . I have over 90 github notifications alone in the span of several days, each of them requiring at least 5 minutes of response or investigation. I just want to code.
Welcome. Sure, Linux Mint's WebApp Manager or Peppermint OS's Ice are here for you. But jokes aside, sadly, no. Lemmy does not have a native Linux application as of now. But you can make use of the fact that the browser UI is a PWA which can be installed like a regular app as well.
Proper PWA support isn't in v0.17.3 (although mobile browsers will let you add it as an app). However, PWA support was merged into the main branch. I'm not sure which release it will be a part of though.
