How will this affect the Lemmy client Voyager? Is it considered a web app? My understanding was that it was.
Official announcement from Voyager:
Using an iPhone in the EU? Please install the Voyager native app. Apple is killing support for PWAs
As far as I know, it is a web app, meaning it could no longer be installed and will only work as a bookmark that opens your default browser.
No? It’s in the App Store! https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762 This PWA charge will only affect websites that you pin to your Home Screen.
Ah didn't know it was in the App Store now. Good. Thanks.
been there since the Reddit Exodus or shortly after
It definitely wasn’t there during the exodus. IIRC, there were also some features missing from it when it hit the App Store too, so the web app was still the better choice.
It is, they have an official app store app as well though. However I find mlem to be a smoother experience, particularly scrolling, and it tends to keep its position when being backgrounded better than memmy and voyager.
