  • Luckily the fan game AM2R, or the slightly less good but still excellent 3DS remake do for Metroid II what Zero Mission did for the original.

    I just started with the Metroid saga (it is never too late I guess) and I started with Zero Mission, I am actually struggling with what is next for me, whether to start with AM2R or the 3DS one… Both look appealing to me, but as I don’t have nostalgia googles for the older 2D games and the 3DS one has always called my attention, I might lean more to it… On the other hand, AM2R is a fan game… And I have a huge respect for those…







  • I don’t think it is that much for me, I kinda like “infinite content” what I don’t like is being bombarded with content that is not in English or Spanish… Which I clearly specified within the Mastodon settings to be my preference… So I spend most of the time navigating through said hashtags feeds blocking users speaking in other languages 😑

    It seems that the hashtags feed doesn’t care about language preferences… Or the users posting don’t follow the language rules or whatever.


  • Is this using a PC? Maybe I would.

    If this is from a smartphone… I wouldn’t I guess… I often prefer to retype than dealing with the select text feature… It seems I get the same experience in the most recent mobile OS that I had when I used my iPod Touch 4G a lot of years ago, why does it feel that this feature hasn’t even evolved? I can’t be the only one that feels it is terrible to use, I prefer to use the keyboard gestures than dealing with it.



  • Yeah perhaps.

    It wouldn’t be the first time that scrolling issues exist in Android apps…now that I think about it, iOS should also handle the cache better for the app in the background (as long as it is not running extensive stuff in the background, like downloads in the background such as Spotify, Netflix, Plex etc. it won’t be killed… Funny that it is the opposite with Android haha), so I suppose iOS users are more than happy with Voyager.



  • I was so happy when I could experience “Apollo” on my Android phone (I moved from iOS to Android several years ago and Apollo was the app I missed the most… Until I found Boost and Sync).

    I love Voyager, but there are two issues that keep me from using it as much as I could:

    1. Scrolling smoothness is not yet there compared to other apps, has it greatly improved? Yeah! Especially in the most recent updates, but I think it can improve more.

    2. MIUI really don’t like it lol, it kills the app so fast (it even kills it when using the inbuilt web browser sometimes) I tried all the good measures to try to keep it alive in the background without any luck.

    Now that we are at it, it would be great that this app (and all the other Lemmy clients) always remembered where they were, even if the app gets closed… You know like Sync for Reddit/Lemmy does.

    Even with those two bugs I still keep Voyager in my top 3 Lemmy clients!





  • Congratulations that you finally decide to open source it, I hope the nature of Lemmy didn’t force your hand :p (joking… A bit).

    In real honesty I can’t wait to see the big improvements the app gets along the way, you have pretty much perfected this app with each update and if the community can help you to improve it further it just means you are gonna keep spreading the love with this app ;)
