    In my mind, Voyager was always on the forefront with features compared to other Lemmy clients. I’m surprised it took this long to implement this!

      Yep. Always has been. Too many didn’t like the name, so he changed it early on. Kept the old one for those of us that liked it. Both domains are still available. I love the name wefwef.

    Wait so you tag people so you can follow their posts? Or their contents I guess? Seems like this turns it into a pseudo/hybrid twitter/mastodon type of thing but on the client side?

    Strange. I never got the appeal of that form of social media. I think I’ve come to feel that I don’t really care who says what, I care about ideas and discussions.

        The F in FOSS was worth it for the two years it took for other clients to catch up lol. imo it was the most complete package after the reddit transfer.

        I might actually switch now considering there are lots of feature developed apps available, but it was funny seeing people struggle to view content as simple as spoiler tags for months during thr lemmy boom.

        Connect has had this and everything else for a long while but it’s a bit janky on image loading occasionally. Still best Lemmy client I’ve used, though that may be because I’m coming from RiF and not Apollo, super similar

    Fixed user bans with expiry. Can I get an explanation of what this means?

    I’m hoping it means that issuing temp bans will actually ban and show in the mod logs. Prior to- only perma-bans seemed to take.

        The app can work in the background and periodically check for new messages, just like email clients do with IMAP accounts.

        You don’t need to have the app running in the background. Notifications can be pushed from the cloud.

        Problem is, that costs money to host and run that job to check for notifications. This is why a lot of small developers end up burying notifications behind a paywall.

          So then „bury“ it behind a paywall, why is that bad? A server costs money so let the people who want to use that server pay their part. I see no problem with that.

          I mean yeah, but hosting and running a voyager server that stores our login credentials would be a more complicated and difficult option for what gain? The simplest solution would probably be just waking up the app every so often to check, I think eternity does that

            Speaking for iOS, I don’t believe this is possible. iOS has rules around what background processes can and can’t run on-device.

            For notifications coming from the internet, in order to preserve battery life, Apple wants cloud APNs to wake up terminated apps to deliver notifications.

            I know android does some similar battery preservation stuff around notifications, but I’m a little less familiar with that.

      Meh, I bought Ultra lifetime after a few months of using Apollo and never even bothered using push notifications. Which is funny, because it was the main thing I missed when I originally switched from Android and RiF in 2020. Voyager is FOSS so it’s understandable that there won’t be push notifications, as that require servers which cost money, and it also introduces potential security issues. User tags on the other hand, were something Apollo sorely needed, and the dev never got around to it.

        I tried to use Voyager on ios 17 to add widget. But, the option is unavailable. Howver Apollo sideloaded can do that.
