First off, the icon contest is now closed! Thanks to everyone that submitted. Seriously, thank you. These are really awesome and it’s so cool to have icons created by the community. Next step: I’ll nominate 3 icons by end of week (hopefully sooner) and create a thread for the community to choose the winner :) More info to follow. https://lemmy.world/post/1287799
Next off, version 0.24.0!
Another release with some anticipated features!
Mark posts read on scroll
(disabled by default) you can now setup posts to be marked read when you scroll past them! This is a cool feature but will become even more useful when “hide read posts” is finished later this week.
Android mode (beta)
There’s now a setting to enable Android mode! Please keep in mind that it’s a beta isn’t finished! This is mainly getting the setting enabled so we can improve the styles and iterate. :) Let me know what you think! Do you prefer the iOS theme on Android? Do you prefer the Android theme on iOS? 😈
Show user instances
Did you even find it annoying that you had to tap into a user to determine the instance they’re on? Well now there’s a setting to show the instance URL of all users that aren’t on your instance! Super handy, thanks @rsammelson!

Wow! Android mode is cool.
What differences are you seeing in android mode, because to be honest I’m not really seeing any difference?
Have you clicked on “Tap to apply changes and reload the app”?
I’m seeing difference in almost every thing. Top bar, Communities list, Inbox page, Settings page, Options on posts/comments etc.
Yes I did that! But to be honest I read someone else’s post a week or so ago and they said that Voyager felt too “iOS” and they wanted it to feel more like Android and at that time I was confused, I had no idea what they were referring to. Like the app doesn’t feel like it belongs in any one type of OS to me. Maybe I’m just not as sensitive to these differences?
