Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
Happy you could join! You’ll find that not only are bans much more reasonable, but conversations are frequently downright pleasant. Aditionally, there are communities built just for calling out mods that abuse power or are heavily biased. The system here is working much better from a user perspective.
i’m also new here and i am looking for a specific voyager setting and am gonna ask here to see if anyone can help
is there a way to turn the left->right swipe action into a “back” button? on apollo i was able to turn off all swipe actions in that direction and replace it with a back feature, and that’s also the default functionality of that swipe on bluesky. I keep getting tripped up having to reach up to the back button but i can’t find a setting for that in voyager yet
I’ve been using using Sync since it was Sync for Reddit and the developer is known for flurries of updates followed by radio silence. So it’s not unusual for him. It is closed source so if he ever disappears forever it will probably eventually break. But it’s a great app.
I just checked, and while it isn’t in the new account list, it is in the login list in Voyager. And, also, you can just type any url into the login form in Voyager if the server isn’t listed.
If it’s any help, I use the sync app on android. I also used sync for reddit prior to the API thing which finally made me leave, so my experience is pretty much the same in terms of format. I agree it can feel weird in a browser but there’s a bunch of good mobile apps that might feel more familiar.
Ah, didn’t realise it had been abandoned. Shame, I’ve been using it a while, and I used the reddit version up until the API thing. I guess I can understand the dev becoming frustrated with a lot of work for a small audience.

Check out lemmyapps.com for different apps and webUIs. There is even sm old reddit style clone like old.lemmy.world for example.

I will say, DO NOT use Sync or Boost, both are abandoned. Voyager is FOSS and adapts to updates.
Damn was using Sync

I’ve read that elsewhere too, but he never took over a year up update. I think this was too much work for not enough pay.
Voyager doesn’t allow users on dbzer0 which is such a disappointment.
I am out of the loop. What does this mean?
Dbzer0 is the instance that I’m on, just like you’re on lemmy.world.
Some apps allow people to sign in on them, but only for certain servers.

That’s awesome! I tried doing that and it went to trying to sign me up for a lem.ee account, which was annoying.
Is that an omission by choice or just something they haven’t added yet?
Is it like a whitelist or a blacklist scenario?
I imagine someone would just need to add them to the list on GitHub and push the update?
Welcome!
If you used to use the Apollo app for Reddit then I strongly recommend Transit. It looks and feels a lot like Apollo, but for Lemmy.
And for former Relay users, Summit will feel pretty familiar.
Infinity -> Eternity

Just FYI the dev abandoned the app and core features still break when the new instance updates take place. Not to mention:
Tap for spoiler
They never fixed their spoiler markdowns.

No algorithm!
