Currently using Avelon 1.06 and I must say the QoL improvements plus the themes. Very very close to Apollo now in my opinion.

As one of the first users of Avelon, I must say, you have come a long way. Good job!

I especially like the different sepia options. I think that reader accessibly options often get overlooked. This looks so much nicer on my eyes. I would love to see a bold toggle and some custom apps (which look like they’re in the works).

The groups (aka multi-sub) was very welcomed to see.

The performance still seems great too. I know Apollo really set a high bar, but I like to try and think of Lemmy and the new apps people are working on as their own. For me, they don’t need to be an exact copy of Apollo.

I agree. It’s just that Apollo has been my go to Reddit experience for so long that I can’t help but miss it. But Avelon is doing a great job at making me move on

What's your top 3 missing features from Apollo? I'll try my best to add them if possible

I'm a bit late to the party, but for me there's one main addition that would make everything better: concentient options to share—or copy—posts as either links to the lemmy discussion or to the original URL. This is especially nice to have for pictures, where you might choose to send a copy of the picture itself or just a link the original.
