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.
Sorry for apparently confusing some terms. But my point stands: If I don't have X or Wayland running, I can't click on links in Browsh or Carbonyl. And if I do have X or Wayland running, I can use Firefox or Chrome instead.
