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 ๐Ÿ˜†

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

I use Summit on mobile because the dev included all my feature requests, so it's an app built for me, at least for the features I use. They're a very active developer, and it will hopefully stick around for a long time. On a real computer, I just use the plain website. I do most of my stuff on mobile so I can save drafts. I prep most of my posts ahead of time and I tend to write long things.

I've stuck with lemmy.world because they're big. I don't want my stuff to just up and disappear one day. I've got a lot invested here, content wise, and the .world admin have been really nice to me in the handful of times I've interacted with them and they've supported me in my real life activities pertaining to wildlife.

I'm primarily here to post owl related educational content and animal rehab stories. It started out of curiosity and now thanks to regularly posting here, I became a rehab volunteer last year.

I'll also post to news and politics posts if I feel I have something useful to add, but with world events getting worse, those communities get a bit too angry sometimes and I stay out.

When I don't have owl questions to answer, I scroll by Top 6 Hours so there's a chance people will still reply to my comments. I ignore the ragebait and find I still get juuuust enough content I don't feel oversaturated.

LW stays BEEG. I like owls. Kinda impossible to ever see em here tho. Thank you for your work and xp share

[โ€“] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Ah, there are owls everywhere! Even in the biggest cities to the hottest and coldest places, there's some kind of owl that lives there. They have just had 60 million+ years to perfect being antisocial.

Lemmy is what got me to finally volunteer, so I will forever share all the joy it brings me.
