Currently using Avelon 1.06 and I must say the QoL improvements plus the themes. Very very close to Apollo now in my opinion.

As one of the first users of Avelon, I must say, you have come a long way. Good job!

I especially like the different sepia options. I think that reader accessibly options often get overlooked. This looks so much nicer on my eyes. I would love to see a bold toggle and some custom apps (which look like they’re in the works).

The groups (aka multi-sub) was very welcomed to see.

The performance still seems great too. I know Apollo really set a high bar, but I like to try and think of Lemmy and the new apps people are working on as their own. For me, they don’t need to be an exact copy of Apollo.

I agree. It’s just that Apollo has been my go to Reddit experience for so long that I can’t help but miss it. But Avelon is doing a great job at making me move on

What's your top 3 missing features from Apollo? I'll try my best to add them if possible

I miss holding the search button to immediately open search+keyboard :) I know it was that way in an earlier build, maybe there’s a setting to re-enable it that I missed.

Also thanks for adding swipe from right edge to go forward! Would appreciate a setting for full screen swipe for those that don’t otherwise use gestures
