    Reading this article got me to try out Lemmy again, and I’m pleasantly surprised.

      What app are you using? I highly recommend Voyager

        I’m using Sync. Makes me feel like I’m using the Relay for Reddit app back before Reddit forced them to charge for it.

          If you liked Relay, try Thunder. It has the dismiss read feature that made Relay my go-to. It’s the only app I’ve seen that has it, maybe because I joined the dev team to add it.

              So it does! I didn’t find it when I tried it, I guess.

              But if one doesn’t want to pay to rid Sync of ads, Thunder is an open source, free, actively developed alternative. It’s still not feature complete, but I’ve been happily using it since I hopped over from reddit. And contributed a good few features myself, like user and community sidebars.

              The next update will include my work on an indicator that shows if and how many new comments a post you’ve already visited has received since you last opened it (like in the webUI). And some other guys on the team have gotten notifications implemented.

                You guys have got ads on Sync? I haven’t and I’m still using the free version.

                I wouldn’t recommend Sync at this stage anymore as the lone developer is gone completely AFK for months.

                Despite charging £100 for a premium app tier…

                Do yourself a favour and use something else. At some point I’ll try out Connect.

            Dismiss read? Like a button to hide read posts? Voyager has that too.

              Good! But it definitely didn’t back when I implemented it in Thunder half a year ago.

              And the way I want it to work is the way it did in Relay. The button dismisses currently loaded read posts, but scrolling further will still load in read posts, and refreshing brings them all back.

              They don’t get permanently hidden, nor do you need to untoggle a setting to see them again next time you refresh.

              Is that how Voyager does it?

                It is currently permanent (with option to show hidden in communities), but temporary is a good idea. I don’t think anyone has requested that on Github yet!

        Been test running various Lemmy apps, I think Voyager is nice but for some reason it bothers me that I can’t see the user name that submitted a post when looking at the feed. Doesn’t seem to be any settings to correct that.

        I seem to be at a stalemate where I like features for various apps, but just still haven’t found my all in one favorite.

                Suuuuper late answer, sorry. It is working perfectly for me (FF 122), I’m using Firefox exclusivery. It can be slow sometimes though and take several (tens of) seconds for the web application to load.

                  Yeah it was officially adopted by my instance, and our page works really well, but thanks anyway for the update!

          Memmy is worth a look. Memmy has that option and it’s got a UI that was also heavily influenced by Apollo.

          You should make an issue on Voyager’s Github! I don’t think anyone’s requested that feature yet.

            I know you’re the dev so just wanted to mention I agree with them too, it would be nice to be able to see the user name that submitted a post before opening it from your feed! Thanks for all your work!

          I also don’t like not having the ability to block NSFW content from showing up in feeds. When the content takes up most of the screen it’s more important
