I've also tried all the Lemmy apps I could find, and must say I'm still the most fond of Voyager. Almost every single time I launch, there's a new update, and new features are showing up extremely fast. Now that there's customizable swipe gestures for all use cases, it's become so awesome to use. I even had an issue with comments getting deleted if I swiped too far while composing, opened a ticket on GitHub, and dev had it fixed within a day. They've just started submitting app versions to to both the Apple and Android store, if you don't want to use the web app.
I second Google Rewards, I also haven't paid for an app for quite some time now. A small note - if it asks if you've visited a specific store recently, the reward is a lot bigger if you say yes, say you bought something, and how you paid. Even if you didn't 😁 There's always (at least) one plausible option, a store you were near, and then a few that look to be fillers. I personally only pick the plausible ones, just in case it's some sort of test. They also rolled out uploading receipts where I'm located recently, and must admit I don't mind Google knowing what I purchased at whatever supermarket.
My problem with Voyager is that it's a web app. It's extremely laggy/unresponsive and the keyboard doesn't work. Firefox doesn't play nice with web apps and I refuse to use any other mobile browser cause I need UBlock Origin and NoScript.
I've been using Voyager as a web app on Firefox since I left Reddit in the blackouts and had zero issues with it. I've only moved over to Sync today because it's the app I used for Reddit
I've been using it with Firefox and haven't had any issues with lag or speed on a regular pixel 6. I'm curious what issues you've had or if you've used the most recent versions?
I'm typing this from the new sync, because it's more familiar to me and I prefer it's ui.
It's very laggy and unresponsive. Have to tap on things multiple times to get them to work.
The keyboard won't come up. It pops up for a few milliseconds then immediately disappears.
I have a Z Fold 3 so I don't think the phone is the issue. Regardless, I'm using Sync too now.
They have done tests in the past but they wet obvious. People got caught saying they went to a waterpark that didn't exist.
