My choice of app is entirely based on what the contact uses.

Most of my family are on iOS so we use native iMessage and FaceTime.

I have a small group of friends that almost exclusively use discord.

Older non-iOS friends tend to use WhatsApp, younger ones Telegram.

I genuinely couldn’t get on with it for some reason.

On mobile I think it’s hard to beat Memmy.

It’s the desktop experience that I think is lacking.

I’m not trying to replicate the look of Reddit. In fact I think that was shittier on desktop and used it exclusively on my phone.

Alexandrite.app looks interesting though. Thanks.

I saw this, and it’s a decent paint job on the existing UI but I can help thinking how much I would like a dedicated client on windows.

I wasn’t necessarily looking for a Reddit clone. I am being spoiled by Memmy and want the same kind of customisable control on my PC.

Trying Memmy now and it feels great! +1 for Ice Cubes.

If your instance allows it, why not start one of the communities you think is missing?

If you are on iOS try Mlem (if you can get on the TestFligh). It’s a much better, native experience.

Can’t advocate using a water pick enough, especially if you suffer from trapped food / large gaps in your teeth.

I bought a Panasonic from Amazon for under £50.

No.

My very limited understanding is that you can have different accounts on different instances, with the same name.

E.g. sicjoke@lemmy.world and sicjoke@lemmy.social

Much like you can have different email accounts on different email platforms, with the same name.

E.g sicjoke@gmail.com and sicjoke@hotmail.com

Anyone feel free to tell me I am talking bollocks.
