I’m assuming Boost and Jerboa are android apps. I couldn’t find those, and I tried Voyager today and I’m not feeling the set up. It’s basically the same as Mlem, but feels clunkier and isn’t as easy for me to follow. I do appreciate the reply and suggestions.
Also interesting. I’m not opposed to my voting being public, although I have noticed I’ve accidentally hit the vote button without intending to and have no idea if I’ve done it without noticing. I’ll have to audit my own votes sometime to see.
Votes = karma. Low karma can keep you from being able to post in places and can get your post/comment hidden.
Wonderful explanation! I will continue to up/down vote posts and comments as I see fit. 😊
I’ve been using Mlem on iOS and it makes it easy. I thought it was standard to see other instances. Unfortunately it also seems to have an issue with some comments, but I think I’m going to wait it out to see if they fix it. I tried a few other Lemmy apps and do not care for the look or set up.
I also want to know the answer to this, if there is one. Commenting to help it gain some traction. 🙃
I’m trying out Voyager now and so far I’m not liking it. This is purely from an aesthetics perspective. It has a lot going on and isn’t as easy to follow for me. I only just started digging through the settings, so that may change.
Can I ask what other Lemmy apps you’ve used and why you prefer Voyager?
Thanks! This helps my understanding a good deal.
I like the lack of karma. Generally I’m using the up/down vote options to express my dis/approval, just like you’ve stated they’re for. Given how different things can be across instances it seems I’ll just have to relearn how I view and interact with Lemmy over Reddit.
Aside from the much smaller user base and communities, I prefer Lemmy 100%. I’m learning to enjoy the smaller user base since it’s also lacking the huge amount of bots and trolls.
I’ve read about the disabling of voting and find it interesting. I enjoy the voting system because it gives me an easy way to interact with a post without having to comment. I usually only downvote if the post is low effort/slop, or the poster/commenter is just being a troll.
Thanks for your input.
I was worried about this. I’m an app guy. Although, I think Safari can make an app out of any webpage now, so maybe it will work out for me.
Do you use an app to access Lemmy and, if so, which one do you use? I chose Mlem due to its aesthetics matching iOS 26, but if they don’t fix this soon I’ll be switching over to another app exclusively. I’ve downloaded Voyager and Arctic to try out.
Thanks. I’ll have to play around with this on my computer later on today. Lemmy is a wonderful, albeit confusing at times, community.
I closed the app and reopened it; it’s 100% the app. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot. For future reference, is the web client just lemmy.zip(for me, since that is the instance I signed up with)?
I closed the Mlem app and reopened and the comments I couldn’t see in the posts are there now. Seems it may be a Mlem issue. I’ll inform them of it. I really like the app and hope they can fix it so I don’t have to learn a new one.
Thanks for the answers yous guys.
That’s interesting. It still hasn’t populated for me. I’m going to try a different app to access Lemmy and see what happens. I’ve only ever used Mlem, so I have no other reference ATP.

Interestingly, your comment doesn’t show up in my post. I had to reply from my inbox. Could this be an app issue? I’m using Mlem.
Someone shared an article with me once that explained quite a few inventions were actually developed around the same time in different areas, sometimes across the globe. I have to get to work now so I can’t try to find it just yet, but if I remember I’ll go in search of it when I have a chance. It was an interesting read pointing to a collective consciousness/knowledge base.
I never said you were stupid, I said you sound stupid. If I need anything other than a basic toolkit and replacement pads to change my brakes, that’s a problem to me. And yes, I do know what an EPB is, and I don’t like them. Like a lot of electronic systems, they can fail. I’ve driven a car that automatically engages the EPB when put in park and turning it off rarely worked as intended.
Who’s stupid now? Neither of us, but you still sound stupid.
Yup. I’m not liking Voyager at all.
