Yes, Voyager.
They renamed wefwef?
Edit: They renamed wefwef.
Voyager is ❤️
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.
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.
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.
New modern frameworks can be heavy but require a lot less time to do something like this 🙂
Ohhh shit, so they do! Awesome, looks like its time to main Voyager.
Voyager! Voyager! Voyager!
