I really like Voyager for Android Lemmy browsing. I've heard others echo the app reference. I was unaware that the apps play a part in the features offered to Lemmy users, in regards to the instances someone uses. If I moved to an instance of piefed, will I still be able to use Voyager? If so, what piefed features may I miss out on?
Apologies if the answers to these questions exceed the info you were providing.
I'm in the same boat with my Sync for Lemmy app. People discuss what their instance has or doesn't have, and it all goes over my head because I never see the webpage versions. But Sync is apparently abandonware, so I'll be looking to change things up. Moving to @Lemmy.zip, but I'll see how Piefed looks once there's a solid app.
its a shame, because I really like how I've customized my sync to look and feel. interstellar is okay, but I think still needs some tweaking.
excites to see where it goes from here
No. There is a fork of Thunder, but afaik it hasn't made it into the main code yet (and I just tried it but it would not load any posts for me). Thunder support is probably not all that far away now, and Voyager may one day follow, but not today, so if Voyager is a must for you then you have to stay with Lemmy.
I just tried Interstellar and while it is getting better it's not quite there yet imho, e.g. clicking a link to https://piefed.social/post/815233 from inside it wants to open it in a web browser rather than simply go to the post in Interstellar.
I prefer the web browser interface to PieFed - it's fantastic. I liked Voyager too so I get it, but for me the features offered by PieFed far exceeds the fun of browsing on Voyager.
Voyager is also my favorite. So I'm sticking with Lemmy for the time being. I've made new accounts on both Piefed and another Lemmy instance.
It is great to know your options, and it sounds like you know what you want!
Some things like categories of (multi-)communities are worth switching for all on their own, for some people but ofc not for everyone:-).
Thank you for the information! I just made a new account on feddit.online and will try out Thunder. What other instances work well with Voyager, if you know?
None work with Voyager. Soon all should work with Interstellar. Thunder is a special case where it currently being tested.
In general app support is very new and hit or miss - the webpage is the preferred method of access (though that should change this year as the changes continue to roll out and push ahead:-).
