It’s looking good, but I’m with voyager until Memmy can introduce ‘mark read’ via scrolling past.
We haven’t done that because you’d have to spam an api call to the server for every post you mark as read. We are hoping lemmy will add an option to send multiple posts at once to be marked as read, then we don’t have to send a ton of requests to the server which is not particularly polite.
Fair! Hopefully a more friendlier resolution will be in the pipeline in the future for you guys, keep up the great work 8)
Those two are my favorite, but I struggled swiping back with Voyager sometimes. I’ll accidentally up or downvote when I’m meaning to go back. So I’ve been using Memmy. Memmy feels snappier too and I like that I can see the instance people/posts are from.
I don’t utilize to mark read on scrolling, but if I did, I’d for sure use Voyager.
So many great apps to choose from!
Oh ya were super lucky to have so much choice to quickly!
I agree about the mark read, but I understand that this should really be done on the Lemmy side.
The other Lemmy thing that is really tough to work with (not a Memmy issue) is how thoroughly Lemmy hides read posts, particularly my own posts. It is virtually impossible to see your own posts without going to Lemmy settings and changing the read posts setting. It seems to force the user to either scroll through old posts constantly or being blind to your own content.
Other than the hide read, I prefer Memmy. Love the design, themes, and option to open links in reader view.
EDIT: My other issue with Memmy is how pinch to zoom on images seems to be broken.
Image viewer is being written from scratch and getting continual updates, so this will keep getting better.
I’ve made some pinch fixes though in the latest update, although double tap to zoom still needs some work. Also locking the image within bounds instead of being able to fly off the screen. But that will all come.
