    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.

    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.

      • no parent comment function or “context”
      • some comment threads won’t expand

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

    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.

          It is the only issue I had with jerboa, and that makes it the most annoying issue by definition.

          But if I have the choice which app to use (and luckily, we have a few options), then I’ll pick the one that works best for me.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

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