Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I'm interested in knowing what you guys are using to access this community, whether or not it's via mobile phone or via laptop or desktop.

If accessing via a laptop or a desktop, what is your OS? Windows, MacOS, or Linux? And if Linux, what distro are you using?

If accessing via a mobile device, you can add in some details about the app you are using or if you're using it via a mobile browser.

Of course, you guys can add more details.

Just to provide a bit of a background behind the question: I've had this preconception that the ones here are among the more technologically-inclined (whatever that means), and thus, I'm curious about the make-up of devices and software used to access and interact with this community.

UPDATE:

As promised, here's a link to the compiled data (with some rudimentary stats). I will be adding more onto them this weekend (if more replies come in).

First of all, thank you to all who've responded. While my preconceptions haven't been shattered, I'm also pleasantly surprised to find out non-techies, refugees from Reddit, who have jumped in to the Threadiverse despite it all. I dunno if that's indicative of the dumpster fire that is Reddit right now, or the tenacity of those who've sought refuge here. Maybe both.

I will be expanding on my thoughts, and others, on a separate reply.

Using a laptop (Windows 10, Chrome). I've since deleted reddit apps on my phone, and I am waiting for sync to come up with their lemmy alternative.

I'm still holding on to my reddit account to get a list of all the subs i've subscribed to, and intend to archive and delete everything once I'm certain there's a good alternative to reddit, be it Lemmy, or something else.

Si u/Sped supot.

P.S. Anybody using windows 11? Or at least VM'd it? Kamusta naman ang experience? Is it worth a try?

EDIT: Added Laptop Specs and a couple of questions.

Wait, the Sync team said they're working on a Lemmy app? That's going to rock... even if I'm more of a Relay fan.

Edit: It's true, it's damn true!
