How's it compared to boost if you're familiar with it?
I rate Voyager as being in a different class altogether, since it is free and open source. I will always choose FOSS over proprietary software, particularly for network-aware apps, whenever a viable solution exists.
I haven't tried Boost for Lemmy yet, but I didn't care for it on Reddit (my wife loved it though and used a lot of its moderator features). I used Relay for several years myself, and then Infinity for Reddit until I left the platform.
There is also Jerboa though idk what if anything has been happening with it lately. Any comparison?
Boost comes with a lift y of bells and whistles, but in all honesty, voyager is pretty good out of the box. Not to mention the dev is honestly the most active I have ever seen.
Also, the fact that's it's open source is a plus.
I switched from Boost to Voyager. I even liked Boost enough to buy the ad free version, but I'd often find bugs and issues that never got fixed. I haven't run into any problems with Voyager.
