I’ve tried all the web browsers in that list (except readability-cli which I’m not sure what it even does).
None of them let me post on lemmy from the TTY, which is the functionality I’m looking for.
Lynx, Links, Elinks and w3m don’t support JavaScript.
Browsh and Carbonyl can’t be navigated without a mouse, and with gpm on a TTY, clicking on links doesn’t work in both browsers.
So honestly, I have no idea what the latter 2 browsers are even supposed to do. If I’m in a graphical interface, I can just use Firefox.
I also tried Neonmodem Overdrive, which is a TUI fediverse browser. But I never could get it to show any posts.
So if anyone knows any option that lets you log into websites (or at least lemmy) without starting X/Wayland, please let me know.
use the old.lemmy.sdf.org instance. works with links fine
Holy shit it works with old.feddit.org (my home instance), too.
Thanks a lot, this was my internet white whale for over a year.
TUIs are graphical interfaces. It’s just that they use the terminal as their renderers instead of having their own.
It’s just like WebApps, they use the browser as their renderer, but they are still graphical interfaces.
