Personally, it would be my favourite even if it were just a RSS feeder app where colours would only pour from media or link embeds but I can’t stop the idea of even having the messenger conform to this style where we replace emojis with Kaomojis even.

If it were me, I would also go as far as hiding a mini snake game as an easter egg ✌︎

How does Lemmy render in w3m, lynx or links?

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Not well - at least in Lynx, content doesn't load at all. You basically get the sidebar.

Piefed looks great though. Obviously not the feel of a native terminal app, but seemingly fully functional and everything makes sense.

Interesting. I remember seeing a screenshot of someone browsing Lemmy on a terminal, not sure what they were using

Maybe it was Neon Modem Overdrive, or this TUI app.

But, yeah - shell browsers like the ones you mentioned don't support JavaScript, so won't work with Lemmy (as it currently is - it might be different when they start using the leptos-based UI). There's places where they're not great with PieFed either (e.g. link2 -g can't deal with WEBP images), but it's completely theme-able, so a theme could easily be added by someone suitably invested to overwrite the existing HTML and provide a better experience.

Ah, that was it!
