I've been using Voyager for nearly a year and have no complaints.
Same here, though I do have one thing I miss from Sync: press+hold on an image in feed to make it full screen. Happen to know if there is a voyager setting to enable this functionality?
I don't believe I've set anything specifically for it, but a single tap on an image goes full screen.
Hmm, maybe I need to take another look through my settings (or perhaps I didn't clearly enunciate my issue), because when I click a thumbnail in my main feed it opens the link, rather than a larger version of the image.
I miss Sync for that singular feature of press+~~hole~~hold on a thumbnail in the feed to show a full size image of said thumbnail.
That happens for me for any link that can't be handled in Voyager, but I think when it comes to images the thumbnail doesnt load either....
Out of curiosity, is it maybe your instance and how its caching? Have you tried other instances? Let me grab a random post that works for me as an example.
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37713149 works for me for reference. Tap and right to fill screen.
Edit: BTW, tapping these images will also go full screen. Not sure if you have that issue with embedded so figured I'd mention.

This post is a link to an image rather than an image uploaded to an instance like the one you linked - in sync, you can just press the thumbnail to see it full screen (not at full resolution, but high enough). Voyager correctly loads the thumbnail, but I don't see a way to expand the image without opening the webpage.
I assume that's what they're talking about. I'd also like the same...
Ah, gotcha.
So sync is pulling the image from the page, since its not a direct link to the image itself voyager goes to the page.
Thats fair. Has it been brought up to @[email protected] directly? I agree thats handy.
Right now I feel like Connect is giving me the most Sync like experience.
Try Eternity, it's good.
It's decent. My next favorite after Sync. However the upvote score isn't showing properly for me. It's the wrong count and goes downwards after I upvote. And if I do it again it gives a different number.
Unfortunately the dev on there is really inactive too. Although they've stated recently that they're going to start working on it again.
Sigh. It's too bad. I understand this isn't their main thing so I don't want to say too much.
Nice app aside from that though.
Yeah, the really slow updates and unfinished stuff sucks, but from the 6 or so apps I've tried, it was still the best.
Racoon is dead and Eternity hasn't been updated in a while.
No, it's not someone forked it.
Will get update in future.
Ooh, do you have a link to the racoon fork?
Raccoon for Lemmy is on FDroid.
I second Jerboa recommendation
Any of these have similar gesture based navigation as sync? That's my favorite thing about it. I Just tried Voyager and it's alright, but I dislike the navigation.
Looks like jerboa has similar navigation, just not quite as polished. I'll roll with it for a bit and see how I feel in a few days.
