Just made an account here ten minutes ago. The format feels weird but it’s nice to be able to continue talking like sensible people without getting banned for it. Feels good, man.
The Voyager app is almost exactly like Apollo was before Reddit shut it down. There are others you can try out too and Lemmy will look and function however you want it too.
i’m also new here and i am looking for a specific voyager setting and am gonna ask here to see if anyone can help
is there a way to turn the left->right swipe action into a “back” button? on apollo i was able to turn off all swipe actions in that direction and replace it with a back feature, and that’s also the default functionality of that swipe on bluesky. I keep getting tripped up having to reach up to the back button but i can’t find a setting for that in voyager yet
If it’s any help, I use the sync app on android. I also used sync for reddit prior to the API thing which finally made me leave, so my experience is pretty much the same in terms of format. I agree it can feel weird in a browser but there’s a bunch of good mobile apps that might feel more familiar.
Happy you could join! You’ll find that not only are bans much more reasonable, but conversations are frequently downright pleasant. Aditionally, there are communities built just for calling out mods that abuse power or are heavily biased. The system here is working much better from a user perspective.

I will say, DO NOT use Sync or Boost, both are abandoned. Voyager is FOSS and adapts to updates.
Voyager doesn’t allow users on dbzer0 which is such a disappointment.
I am out of the loop. What does this mean?
Dbzer0 is the instance that I’m on, just like you’re on lemmy.world.
Some apps allow people to sign in on them, but only for certain servers.
Is that an omission by choice or just something they haven’t added yet?
Is it like a whitelist or a blacklist scenario?
Damn was using Sync

There is a gestures category in the settings.
You can ask Voyager questions here and the developer can add stuff if you think of something.

aeharding is the developer.
Check out lemmyapps.com for different apps and webUIs. There is even sm old reddit style clone like old.lemmy.world for example.

If you used to use the Apollo app for Reddit then I strongly recommend Transit. It looks and feels a lot like Apollo, but for Lemmy.
And for former Relay users, Summit will feel pretty familiar.
