voyager is basically apollo already tbh
-
Doesn’t look like it’s available in the app store
-
https://vger.app it’s a web app, there is an iOS TestFlight build that fixes a few of the bugs that running in safari introduces (and it has haptics!)
-
-
It looks too iOSy to my liking (and not a fan of the android theme). Solid app tho.
Edit: it seems I ruffled some feathers. The authentic reddit experience is complete.
-
The entire point of Apollo was to look iOSy so voyager did its job
-
Even on Android I think the iOS aesthetic looks great tbh
-
It has an option in settings to make it look like android.
-
in my opinion it looks fine, though i’d appreciate a good material 3 design.
-
Well yeah it's an Apollo clone
-
-
-
Voyager is the apollo replacement, it rocks!
-
It's awesome, I used it for a while. But I like native apps more. Also, does it have notifications? I don't remember ever getting one.

Browse to https://vger.app . It’s a webapp, it’s great, much more privacy friendly than having to install a whole native app to just browse.

Honestly, it would be an amazingly trojan-horse way to drive reddit users to Lemmy. Leave Sync for Reddit up, and then just have it be a redirect to Lemmy under the hood, maybe even use the API to "migrate" people over - if only for copying their username and some basic data.
-
Reddit would go after apps having Reddit in the name.
-
That was kind of the issue to begin with. That's why it's "For Reddit". Google even had this stupid naming scheme because "Reddit Is Fun" existed at the time, and they even had to change to "RiF For Reddit". The "For Reddit" part already mitigates that worry - as I understand, that was the entire point of Google enforcing that policy to begin with.
And honestly I'm just kind of being wishy about it. I'd have loved to see all of the Reddit apps basically Trojan horse their users into Lemmy rather than simply shut down. We can dream can't we? :P
-
-
Honestly, I don't know if half the ultra casual users would even notice.
-
Just make a notification stating "Sync is back" and don't elaborate.
-
-
RIF users too, talklittle made an app for tildes but blegg.
-
Connect is the new rif
-
Hell yeah, I love Connect, the dev seems really genuine too
-

Hey don't have to tell me, my last app was Joey. Liftoff is doing pretty well for me though.
-
I actually got my sync to look like a better version of Baconreader, needless to say I'm pretty happy!
-
Cries in Boost
-
Relay for Lemmy, pls.
-
I miss relay a bit, but voyager is close enough for me.

There’s Beans, another client that’s trying to do the whole ‘iOS’ aesthetic (though in a way that’s unlike Apollo) and Memmy, which borrows a lot of Apollo’s design aesthetic.
-
Can you share link

We have Memmy which is pretty damn close.
Don’t forget voyager, it’s pretty much identical.
Mehhhhh. I know it’s a PWA but I’d still rather a native app.
No themes kills it for me. I hate dark black themes
Memmy gang, represent
Team Memmy. It’s freaking great. And the amount of updates they post to the test channel. Fantastic. It’s nice logging in once a day and seeing some cool functionality pushed out.
Was gonna say, Memmy may as well be an Apollo fork from a couple years ago.
Voyager is “cleaner” looking, but Memmy is a native app which prob trumps that. That little rando freeze on voyager gets annoying after awhile
Voyager is getting an iOS native version. There’s a TestFlight version out right now, it’s really neat. Definitely scratches that Apollo itch.
Agreed! Sadly, I have seen it reported that the actual app version has the random freeze as well. Hopefully that’s able to be resolved now that its an app.
