I've been a fan of Memmy for the most part, but post Apollo i've still been out of sorts with any platform. I really miss marking-read once you scroll past posts on my phone.

Apollo spoiled me for years with this feature and manually upvoting each one to hide gets old fast, as a viscious hider of content once i've seen it :)

They renamed wefwef?

Edit: They renamed wefwef.

I tried 3-4 different apps before landing on it. I’m not even a little bit tempted to try anything else. It’s almost obscene how quickly they managed to make an Apollo clone for Lemmy.

I've tried others.

All of them preload images in posts AND comments.

Some of them let you disable it for posts.

None let you disable it for comments.

I do not use others. Voyager is the best.

Yes, that was the decisive aspect. Fuck preloading images. I do not deign a comment more worth the screenspace just because someone posted an image link, I consider it app-breaking bloat. And man, I like some bloat. I'd be cool with voyager loading avatars or tables if they wanted. Just not things that break the flow of text.

(... I do have Thunder installed just in case they make it a setting. I like the interface.)

Only problem I have with voyager is the bug where it sometimes won’t let you comment. Error message says I must select a language in my Lemmy profile, but I already have two languages selected. I emailed the dev, and he amazingly responded in like 3 minutes with a kind explanation that he’s already working on a fix.

Liftoff can be configured to not preload images. It drove me nuts to see NSFW being slapped on my face while on the bus. Then I found a toggle.

New modern frameworks can be heavy but require a lot less time to do something like this 🙂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ohhh shit, so they do! Awesome, looks like its time to main Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Voyager! Voyager! Voyager!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, Connect For Lemmy had this.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And on top of that you can also hide read posts! Loving connect so far!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Connect dev here, glad you're liking it!

Connect also now supports marking posts as read when viewing the image and also instance-level blocking.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your app is the best. Hoping for volume button for comment navigation to be added one day, and then its basically perfect!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll see what I can do :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a great app! Thanks! But unless I'm missing something, there needs to be an easier way to subscribe to communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I did indeed miss that. From the feed you can only block things, not subscribe. I thought you had to go to the sidebar of the community to subscribe. Cheers!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for Connect. It's my favorite app so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Love Connect! It is the best, great work Kuro

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Connect is awesome. Every update it just gets better. Absolutely love it.

For Android: fennec does this.

Spoilers: I'm this app's developer :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fennec, the android browser app by Mozilla?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn't aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we're going by fennec rn

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It’s a progressive web app instead of a native app, but Voyager just recently added this! You can check it out here: https://vger.app

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Voyager is incredible. Such a polished experience!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this looks the same as wefwef.app lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

They actually renamed wefwef to Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why doesn’t Voyager allow to log in to any Lemmy instance except for a select few?

EDIT: Never mind, I had to do a few more taps to discover how to do it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh wait is the new name a star trek reference then? Noice.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Summit for Android has this as well. Source: I am the dev.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Aw nice! I can increase the font size in title, post and comments! This is what I've been looking for!

Will you add the capability to add our own fonts, or at least give a serif fonts option? Martel Regular is very easy to read for long periods of time Id take Bookman (I think that's one? Or any old serif fonts) Thanks for considering!longe

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I'll add custom fonts to the app roadmap. You can check out [email protected] to see updates of the app and give feedback.

I'm using Jerboa and it does that. It's not perfect but it works, there's a setting to hide read posts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm using jerboq but it doesn't mark posts as read just by scrolling past them, you have to actually click on them. Just clicking the image thumbnail also doesn't mark as read.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've looked at this for kbin, marking posts as 'read' once you've interacted with them before (either upvote, downvote or boosting) so that's way when you come back later in the day you can see things you've already interacted with.

It's one of those things that will probably take a while to get going
