I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i’m new to Lemmy and looking for a good client to use it with. I’ve been using Sync which is what i used to use with Reddit but i’ve noticed that it isn’t getting updates now. Any other good mobile apps I can usr Lemmy with?

      You mean the app that inserts ads to itself into links you share, by default? Yes it can be switched off but why does this need to be there in the first place?

      There’s a problem that it seems to use a lot of memory, because it’s a web browser in disguise. As a consequence, any time another app needs memory, Voyager is killed by Android and starts again from the main page, forgetting what I was doing. Oftentimes it’s enough to switch to the actual browser and back again for Voyager to restart, which is ironic for a link-aggregator app.

      Its animations are janky for the same reason, and get in the way of some functionality like collapsing comments.

      Voyager’s UI is great, mainly because it’s not flashy, but a native app with that UI would be a lot better. RedReader for Reddit is much smoother to use.

      Took a look and love it, mostly because it looks like an iOS app but on Android. I’ve really missed iOS app design and this is just refreshing lol.

        For me it reminds more of some rather spartan apps that are economic with their interface — namely RedReader for Reddit. No fluff in the UI. Which is why I like both these apps, however Voyager would be better if it was implemented natively instead of in React or whatever it uses.

        At least in iOS, it reminds me a lot of what used to be the Apollo app for Reddit. Voyager is fantastic and currently includes working, but limited Piefed compatibility.

          Voyager is a direct copy of Apollo. Which is good because Apollo was awesome on iOS before Reddit forced it and many other apps to cease development. Assholes
