      I find myself doing a lot more commenting than original posting and so Lemmy is a much better choice for me in the way I like to use social media. I do have a mastodon account, but it’s not something I go on super often. In fact, my launcher has swipe gestures and so I can just flick one finger to the right on my home screen and Thunder opens so that I can browse the latest stuff on Lemmy but I never did that for Mastodon.

          I am a big fan of Thunder, primarily, because it reminds me a lot of a Reddit app that I used to use called Red Reader. And I helped the developers implement screen reader accessibility from very near the beginning. And so, at least to my knowledge, it is one of the most accessible, lemmy clients.

            I still use RedReader for Reddit, it’s a lot less convenient with its swipe gestures though than Connect. Makes me automatically use Lemmy more than Reddit.

    Croissant starts at $2.99 per month, or you can pay $19.99 per year or a one-time fee of $59.99. That’s probably too much for casual posters, granted—McCarthy says the intended audience is really small business owners and creators “who use social media professionally, but is not their full time job.”

    I can see the appeal of the annual cost—even the one-time fee. If you post at least once a week, that’s 156 posts across platforms per year. Add Instagram into the mix and now you’re at 208.
