It seems like Voyager and Thunder have quite a few features the others don’t have such as advanced search, gif support and user labels.

    I had loads of communication problems trying to use Voyager on Android - I wonder if it was b/c it may not work as well for non-Lemmy.World accounts? (the one I tried to have it work with was on Discuss.Online) Like I would reply to someone but not be able to see my reply, or receive a notification and not be able to see their message to me, and refreshing did not work, nor did simply waiting minutes of time, though force-quitting the app and reloading always did.

    Now I switched to PieFed so it doesn’t matter, but basically I think you have to just download apps and try them until you find one you like b/c there’s always going to be something.

        Oh that’s good to know, thanks. I wonder if it was something special for my instance, or perhaps using Blokada (I thought there were no ads in it, but I can’t imagine running a phone without that:-), or something else entirely. If I hadn’t moved to PieFed already I would have submitted a bug report. Perhaps I still should if it would help others.

        But your scenario at least lessens the projected scenarios of who may be affected, which is good for the sake of making the Fediverse easier to use by more people:-).
