I've been a fan of Memmy for the most part, but post Apollo i've still been out of sorts with any platform. I really miss marking-read once you scroll past posts on my phone.

Apollo spoiled me for years with this feature and manually upvoting each one to hide gets old fast, as a viscious hider of content once i've seen it :)

They renamed wefwef?

Edit: They renamed wefwef.

I tried 3-4 different apps before landing on it. I’m not even a little bit tempted to try anything else. It’s almost obscene how quickly they managed to make an Apollo clone for Lemmy.

[-] FarLine99@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

New modern frameworks can be heavy but require a lot less time to do something like this 🙂

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've tried others.

All of them preload images in posts AND comments.

Some of them let you disable it for posts.

None let you disable it for comments.

I do not use others. Voyager is the best.

Yes, that was the decisive aspect. Fuck preloading images. I do not deign a comment more worth the screenspace just because someone posted an image link, I consider it app-breaking bloat. And man, I like some bloat. I'd be cool with voyager loading avatars or tables if they wanted. Just not things that break the flow of text.

(... I do have Thunder installed just in case they make it a setting. I like the interface.)

Only problem I have with voyager is the bug where it sometimes won’t let you comment. Error message says I must select a language in my Lemmy profile, but I already have two languages selected. I emailed the dev, and he amazingly responded in like 3 minutes with a kind explanation that he’s already working on a fix.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Liftoff can be configured to not preload images. It drove me nuts to see NSFW being slapped on my face while on the bus. Then I found a toggle.

[-] Sev@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Ohhh shit, so they do! Awesome, looks like its time to main Voyager.

[-] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Voyager! Voyager! Voyager!

[-] MusketeerX@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Yes, Connect For Lemmy had this.

[-] RichRatsch@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

And on top of that you can also hide read posts! Loving connect so far!

[-] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

Connect dev here, glad you're liking it!

Connect also now supports marking posts as read when viewing the image and also instance-level blocking.

[-] JshKlsn@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Your app is the best. Hoping for volume button for comment navigation to be added one day, and then its basically perfect!

[-] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I'll see what I can do :)

[-] Pepperette@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It's a great app! Thanks! But unless I'm missing something, there needs to be an easier way to subscribe to communities.

[-] sadbehr@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] Pepperette@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I did indeed miss that. From the feed you can only block things, not subscribe. I thought you had to go to the sidebar of the community to subscribe. Cheers!

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for Connect. It's my favorite app so far

[-] Wet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Love Connect! It is the best, great work Kuro

[-] sadbehr@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

Connect is awesome. Every update it just gets better. Absolutely love it.

[-] delirium@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For Android: fennec does this.

Spoilers: I'm this app's developer :)

[-] Futurama@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fennec, the android browser app by Mozilla?

[-] delirium@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn't aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we're going by fennec rn

[-] vagabond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago

It’s a progressive web app instead of a native app, but Voyager just recently added this! You can check it out here: https://vger.app

[-] FarLine99@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Voyager is incredible. Such a polished experience!

[-] teydam@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

this looks the same as wefwef.app lol

[-] gfrewqpoiu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

They actually renamed wefwef to Voyager.

[-] unagi@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why doesn’t Voyager allow to log in to any Lemmy instance except for a select few?

EDIT: Never mind, I had to do a few more taps to discover how to do it.

[-] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh wait is the new name a star trek reference then? Noice.

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Summit for Android has this as well. Source: I am the dev.

[-] Orionza@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aw nice! I can increase the font size in title, post and comments! This is what I've been looking for!

Will you add the capability to add our own fonts, or at least give a serif fonts option? Martel Regular is very easy to read for long periods of time Id take Bookman (I think that's one? Or any old serif fonts) Thanks for considering!longe

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I'll add custom fonts to the app roadmap. You can check out !summit@lemmy.world to see updates of the app and give feedback.

I'm using Jerboa and it does that. It's not perfect but it works, there's a setting to hide read posts.

[-] emeralddawn45@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I'm using jerboq but it doesn't mark posts as read just by scrolling past them, you have to actually click on them. Just clicking the image thumbnail also doesn't mark as read.

[-] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I've looked at this for kbin, marking posts as 'read' once you've interacted with them before (either upvote, downvote or boosting) so that's way when you come back later in the day you can see things you've already interacted with.

It's one of those things that will probably take a while to get going
