I've been a fan of Memmy for the most part, but post Apollo i've still been out of sorts with any platform. I really miss marking-read once you scroll past posts on my phone.

Apollo spoiled me for years with this feature and manually upvoting each one to hide gets old fast, as a viscious hider of content once i've seen it :)

I've tried others.

All of them preload images in posts AND comments.

Some of them let you disable it for posts.

None let you disable it for comments.

I do not use others. Voyager is the best.

Yes, that was the decisive aspect. Fuck preloading images. I do not deign a comment more worth the screenspace just because someone posted an image link, I consider it app-breaking bloat. And man, I like some bloat. I'd be cool with voyager loading avatars or tables if they wanted. Just not things that break the flow of text.

(... I do have Thunder installed just in case they make it a setting. I like the interface.)

Only problem I have with voyager is the bug where it sometimes won’t let you comment. Error message says I must select a language in my Lemmy profile, but I already have two languages selected. I emailed the dev, and he amazingly responded in like 3 minutes with a kind explanation that he’s already working on a fix.

Liftoff can be configured to not preload images. It drove me nuts to see NSFW being slapped on my face while on the bus. Then I found a toggle.
