@spaduf@slrpnk.net , could you maybe edit your comment to something like

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

Feel free if you have any questions"

join-lemmy isn't the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true

Hell yeah, Voyager. 🀘

Hey, question about Voyager, I'm using it, and if I'm on my main feed and hit the back button, it opens a list of subs, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get back to the feed without refreshing it. It's veru frustrating because I keep losing track of the post I was just about to tap on. Do you know anything about this?

If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.

I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.

This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.

I'd make an issue on GitHub or maybe a post on https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp about it.

One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It's difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you've never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.

I know it's not for everyone. And apologies if I'm over explaining swiping.

also what's the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn't like it due to UX/UI issues

I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you're putting too many choices lol

Misskey's probably the most polished feeling, though under the hood it's apparently a total mess.

didn't like it due to UX/UI issues

That's my biggest beef. But I think maybe it's "ugly like a Mazda truck", as in, it's plain and weird until you get to driving it and then it's just simple and great.

That's my hope anyway.

Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it's going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What's more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.
