I was just taking a peek at the various frontends supported by lemmy.ca, and I was wondering if the admins here have any insight into their respective use?

I'm going to bet the default (lemmy-ui) is most popular, but do any of the other frontends get far-and-away more use than the other alternatives? Has there been any trends up or down? Just thought I'd ask.

As an aside, if any of the frontend developers happen across this post, well done to all of you! I can immediately see the appeal of each, so each niche is being filled darn well!

Edit: to be clear, I'm talking about the frontends listed on the lemmy.ca main sidebar.

Apologies if this isn't what you're looking for but I'm using an app called Boost for Lemmy on Android. The dev created an amazing reddit app and this one is identical but for Lemmy.

I prefer https://phtn.app/ and would like it to be the default UI or at least have p.lemmy.ca be a option like Lemmy.world has

This is actually a piece of data I've been wanting to pull too, but it'll probably take me a few days to get to it.

In the meantime, I'll just let this url out: https://data.fedecan.ca/images/

Oh, neat. I’ll be taking a look-see when I get to my bigger screen. Thanks for sharing!

There is also this from our previous census, but the data is fairly outdated now with how much the frontends have changed:
