I personally like tesseract than alexandrite for desktop, although that's not listed in that page I linked
unfortunately the tesseract dev is calling it quits because of burning out with Lemmy development.
it is a fork of photon either way, so when something broke if tesseract truly won't be updated, I'll probably use that instead
that's good news then. but it wasn't when I looked way back idk 3 weeks ago?
that's not the main reason I wanted to jump ship though. it's the defederation that pushes me to try other lemmy and even mbin instances.
I'm not surprised you said it's the latter. I would say the same before I got professional treatment for my depression-turned-out-BPD2 diagnosis.
now I'm keen to answer it's both. mood own, something I really like could raise my mood, but it also could prevent me from even consume it, for example
it depends in whether its low or high energy emotion, and whether it's unpleasant or pleasant
I personally am abandoning my l.w. account.
from a content discovery and interaction aspect, lemmy.world has its fair share of federation fights. this would mean you wouldn't see content from instances that defederated them, nor will users from those instances see yours
and from the aspect of the software of Lemmy itself, it's not up to date. I personally am not sure what that entails, but it's probably not good
you can check out this community for a bunch of apps [email protected]
or at https://join-lemmy.org/apps they also list apps for web browser (front ends), android and iOS.
