    Voyager is fantastic. I started with Memmy and settled on Voyager for a while. But I’m trying Avelon right now and it’s smoooooth. The swipe back function works much better on Avelon, and their “Explore” tab is great.

      Adding my thanks for the suggestion too - avelon looks great! I started with Memmy and I moved on to Voyager and Lemmios. Both are great but both have problems. Loving avelon so far!!

      Avelon is phenomenal. Especially the hide bars on scroll feature. No other app has this. I wonder if it’s hard to develop? I remember the developer of Apollo had quite a few bugs with it in the beginning.

      At least on iOS, I prefer Avelon the best as it’s the most iOS native feeling app. A close second for me on iOS is Mlem. Both I still use from their betas, but both are now in the App Store as well, go give them a try if anyone hasn’t already!

      maybe its a settings thing but for me voyager keeps showing me posts i’ve already seen even they should be marked as read, while avelon keeps showing me new stuff. otherwise they are both wonderful.

      You could argue that 25% for sync is quite something, and almost double that of the next largest competitor.

        I am using it, it’s okay, not as good as Reddit Is Fun was.

        but I have to say I am not as evangelical about pushing open source and lack of telemetry, so I don’t care about unintrusive ads as a free-tier, nor do I care a lot about collecting usage data to improve the app

      I wish the Apollo dev would’ve ported his app and migrated his user base. IMHO, Syncs popularity shows that the developer was able to migrate a lot of their old user base to Lemmy.

    I’d use it but I can’t log in. My password is probably too long as it’s randomly generated by my password manager.

      I also had problems logging in with sync. For me, it was the instance input.

      Somehow, after i filled out the instance, username & password inputs, the form blanked the instance name when submitting.

      I didn’t notice at first.

      Entering the instance name again made it work.
