Unaware if it’s intentional or is part of some sort of design aesthetic, but Voyager really gives me the Apollo for Reddit UI/UX vibes and I love it! :D
Also, R.I.P. Apollo for Reddit 😇
I mean the clue is in the name really
It was intentional. It’s a tribute to Apollo
Christian didn’t seem super pumped about the tribute imo, which is a shame

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It just may not feel that way to the person being imitated!
Too bad, he could have helped Lemmy grow by at least giving Voyager his blessing.
They open sourced their project, that’s more than enough
I was so happy when I could experience “Apollo” on my Android phone (I moved from iOS to Android several years ago and Apollo was the app I missed the most… Until I found Boost and Sync).
I love Voyager, but there are two issues that keep me from using it as much as I could:
-
Scrolling smoothness is not yet there compared to other apps, has it greatly improved? Yeah! Especially in the most recent updates, but I think it can improve more.
-
MIUI really don’t like it lol, it kills the app so fast (it even kills it when using the inbuilt web browser sometimes) I tried all the good measures to try to keep it alive in the background without any luck.
Now that we are at it, it would be great that this app (and all the other Lemmy clients) always remembered where they were, even if the app gets closed… You know like Sync for Reddit/Lemmy does.
Even with those two bugs I still keep Voyager in my top 3 Lemmy clients!
