I got big letters for my account. 🤷♂️
^ this guy. You can see those letters from orbit.
I used to see you everywhere. Then I got the "Voyager for Lemmy" app. Now I rarely ever notice you.
Voyager doesn't do custom username fonts or icons, so everyone's username is just plaintext. You blend in with every other user in my feed, and I rarely look at usernames, so I tend to miss users that I haven't specifically tagged myself.
Thunder does render display names by default, but offers the setting to disable it. I do disable it.
Switch to Sync
I actually switched away from Sync. I forget why, it's been a while, but something about that app was bothering me, so I shopped around and ended up on Voyager.
The lack of profile pictures and custom username fonts is probably the only downside to Voyager. But I love everything else about it. And it's free; I had to pay for Sync to get rid of ads and other junk in the app.
I really like it, it was my Reddit app for years so it was easy to stay with
Yeah it was my Reddit app too. But when I switched over to Lemmy, there were a lot of initial issues with the app, and the dev would vanish for months before responding to complaints.
He was very reactive when he came back, addressing every issue people pinged him on. But then he'd just be gone again and any further issues were stuck until he decided to return.
I remember that being a problem I had with his Lemmy app in the beginning. I specifically remember webm files didn't load at all, until I pinged him right before he pushed an update and he added it to his patch. But then his patch broke a few other things and nobody could reach him for another 3 months.
I still can't remember what the final straw was for me, but I had an ongoing issue that had no resolution until the dev decided to show his face again and I decided that was it. I needed an app with a more reactive developer.
I recommend Connect to everyone. Free, no ads at all, Canadian developer who is super active and has responded to every issue I've raised right away and usually fixed it by the next day, tons of customization options, all around the best Lemmy app I've used for a number of different reasons.
You were the first person I thought of, actually.
Makes me wonder how many people I see over and over and just don't notice because their names aren't enormous
You were one of the first i though of
I really liked your neighbourhood in Athens.
