It has all platforms - Web, PWA, iOS and Android.

It is free and open source. No tracking and no ads.

Me too. Same app for my PC and Android feels good.

It is wild that on github, Voyager almost has much stars as Lemmy. I love this app so far. (And lemmy as well)

My only problem with it is the developer disappeared for the longest time and it feels like it fell behind so many other apps.

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

Hmm…I guess I don’t know what I’m missing since I haven’t tried any other apps lately. For me my main ask out of Lenny is more users, more content, more communities and community so I don’t care much about fancy features at the moment.

Lately I’ve actually been feeling a sort of online loneliness…once upon a time I had a lot of engagement and connection on Facebook. On Twitter at a different point in time. I didn’t really miss it when I had Reddit because there was all of the community, support, camaraderie you could need from mental health to football to weird hobbies and quirks.

Voyager feels like Apollo but most of what made Apollo great is dead and gone (Reddit)

Now I’m depressed 😂😭

I'm sorry dude. What communities do you have interest in?

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

I miss the raisedbyborderlines sub, having live game threads for sports with lots of parcipants, finding active subs for whatever random show you are binging at any time like Suits or Haunting of Hill House. Parenting subs like Daddit.

Sync has not received an update in more than a month and nobody complains about that.

Voyager dev takes a well deserved break and suddenly everybody bitches about it.

Why this double standard¿?

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

The dev is a human being with life outside of developing this app and there is no arguing that. All I simply stated is that it fell behind in development when compared to many other apps.

Do not misconstrue my words.

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

This is not an attack on you or your statement. This is just a general observation I made. I have seen several people claim they left voyager because the dev has 'left' even though he told us he was taking a break (went on a vacation) and even though the client is actively being developed now

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

same. initially i was worried about the performance compared to "native" clients like Boost,Sync,etc but even as a PWA written in JS i have zero issues with it.

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

I previously used Voyager before switching to Boost. It was the only way I could experience iOS apps on Android.
