Voyager, a lemmy client inspired by the apollo reddit client

It's my main lemmy client. Can't recommend it enough. It's not the most impressive client in terms of fancy features but it's the most intuitive one I found.

I am a big Thunder fan as it reminds me a lot of RedReader from my reddit days.

Thunder is great, I love it

I can hide posts! My primary way of browsing Reddit and no lemmy client has had it. I’m so happy with that feature alone.

Works on Sync, it's not FOSS tho

Been using it for a few months. Really like it but it has had the same big problems since I started using it ☹️

Pushing the buttons at the bottom often don't work.
Clicking messages in my inbox doesn't take me to the actual comments, just the full comments.
no parent comment function or "context"
some comment threads won't expand
when typing comments the text will go behind the keyboard and then you can only scroll down 2 lines so you have to constantly scroll down when typing long comments.

These are the only ones that really pester me. I try other clients, but keep coming back to Voyager.

this or eternity?

I like both. But lean towards eternity as I like the search function more.

I use this for mobile and desktop! Thanks for the quick updates devs!

I didn't like Voyager initially, mostly because it felt weird having iOS style on my Android device. The Android theme didn't seem that different too me either. But I'm actually using it now and think it works great and don't even mind the iOS styling anymore either!

I feel the same. Even the icons is Apple's! But Voyager is my main Lemmy client because despite it goes after Apple's guide lines and not Google's (which is wrong and I find the developers as very lazy because of this), it is a very nice client.

Those who have used both Voyager and Jerboa, which do you prefer and why?

Jerboa has one open bug that makes it very annoying for me (Issue 194). Thats why I don't use it anymore. However, this bug does not affect everyone.

Voyager and Liftoff are my favourite apps for Lemmy.
- @cron I'm sorry but I read that bug report you linked. Is that really your most annoying issue?!?! Lmfao everyone is such a fucking pussy now a days.
I swapped to Voyager a while ago and never looked back. I tried Jerboa, Liftoff, Sync, and Connect and Voyager just felt the best. The only feature I miss from the reddit app I used to use is swiping from left to right to go from the comments of a post back to the homepage I was on, but everything else is great.
I use Jerboa mainly, but sometimes use Voyager. I like better the Jerboa UI usually, but sometimes I want a change. Also I know you can enable buttons rather than swipe gestures for comments on Voyager, but in Jerboa it's easier and nicer.
I'm a RedReader user so I really missed the swipe gestures for voting. It also has a web app version that I can install both on mpbile and PC. While I'm not a fan of iOS look, I'm not a fan of Material You either.

Voyager is the only Lemmy client I’ve tried that has an Apple Watch app! It is so nice to just review some headlines for a minute and save the interesting ones for later.

On my phone though I’ve been using Memmy more recently too.

Had not heard about it, but thanks for posting about it. Trying it out now, so far so good.

Can I make the font bigger ? I can't see properly so I need really big font. I am using connect atm but I want to try other clients.

Font options are in settings -> appearance
- Cheers bro
You can. I've just downloaded it, and I can say for sure: this is now my main Lemmy app. Was using eternity, but this just seems more intuitive.

I started using Lemmy because of Voyager. it's pretty good

Same. Just this morning actually. And here I was thinking I was done with social media after the Reddit API debacle. So far Lemmy scratches that same itch for me.

I just downloaded it I love it it lets you import your subreddits I love it !!!!

My use of Lemmy has increased since I got the Voyager app. It’s the spiritual successor to Apollo (RIP) and Apollo was the most used app on my phone by far. Great look!

Is there a way to change those horrible Apple inspired icons and make it in general less Apple like? The Apple UI is just really badly made.

I think the UI itself is OK, but it feels very unnatural on an android device.
yes, there is a setting for that in the options, but the UI still looks very much like an iOS app with it changed.
- Yeah the Android version is still on beta and not pleasant.

I've been bouncing between Jebora and Boost for a while. I like boosts interface but really would rather use a FOSS app, so this definitely covers both for me. Just started using it though. I did change the layout to "Android" and change the theme to Dracula.

Looks to be visually identical to WefWef, which is a web app that is pinnable to your screen. Even the settings are almost identical.

Don’t know who copied who, but yeah.

If you mean Wefwef.app that literally IS voyager running as a PWA as can be seen in settings -> about.

The official PWA instance is https://vger.app/ and self hosting instructions are in the github repo linked by f-droid.
Same app. They rebranded because the old name was corny.

Is there any way to change the font settings for Post Titles? I'd like to make them bold, if I could.

Would love to have this work as a reddit client too

Can you please give us an option to disable the feature that collapses comments when they are clicked on? I do this pretty often on accident and loose my place in the comments. Thanks!
