It's a lot...

I really like Voyager for Android Lemmy browsing. I've heard others echo the app reference. I was unaware that the apps play a part in the features offered to Lemmy users, in regards to the instances someone uses. If I moved to an instance of piefed, will I still be able to use Voyager? If so, what piefed features may I miss out on?
Apologies if the answers to these questions exceed the info you were providing.
No. There is a fork of Thunder, but afaik it hasn't made it into the main code yet (and I just tried it but it would not load any posts for me). Thunder support is probably not all that far away now, and Voyager may one day follow, but not today, so if Voyager is a must for you then you have to stay with Lemmy.
I just tried Interstellar and while it is getting better it's not quite there yet imho, e.g. clicking a link to https://piefed.social/post/815233 from inside it wants to open it in a web browser rather than simply go to the post in Interstellar.
I prefer the web browser interface to PieFed - it's fantastic. I liked Voyager too so I get it, but for me the features offered by PieFed far exceeds the fun of browsing on Voyager.

Brings up the question if there should be a migrate community option on the back-end

I'm in the same boat with my Sync for Lemmy app. People discuss what their instance has or doesn't have, and it all goes over my head because I never see the webpage versions. But Sync is apparently abandonware, so I'll be looking to change things up. Moving to @Lemmy.zip, but I'll see how Piefed looks once there's a solid app.

Is lemm.ee dying?

Piefed actually has this. Shame lemmy doesn’t.

Yes. It’s shutting down at the end of the month.

Not enough funds?

Not enough admins. Too many trolls.

I had no idea my instance had such a shoddy rep!

Voyager is also my favorite. So I'm sticking with Lemmy for the time being. I've made new accounts on both Piefed and another Lemmy instance.

Not a shoddy rep, just that it grew so large so fast with not enough admin volunteers. All of the big ones are constantly getting hit by these sad losers who need therapy

its a shame, because I really like how I've customized my sync to look and feel. interstellar is okay, but I think still needs some tweaking.
excites to see where it goes from here

Not necessarily @lemm.ee trolls; trolls from other instances starting shit in @lemm.ee communities, and they just don't have enough admins to handle things

So then won’t this problem just move to another instance if .ee closes?

The part that sucks about all this is that there aren't any tools to fully migrate my account over to a new instance. Comments and posts will be left behind, but at least they'll hopefully remain federated for as long as possible so I can look back at them in the future.

The thing I like most about lemm.ee is the defederation policy. Supposedly lemmy.zip is similar in that regard so that’s where I ended up.

Thank you for the information! I just made a new account on feddit.online and will try out Thunder. What other instances work well with Voyager, if you know?

I'm a bit slow. Where are the commies going?

We should probably start compiling a megathread.
Brilliant idea
