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.
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.

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

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.
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

It is great to know your options, and it sounds like you know what you want!
Some things like categories of (multi-)communities are worth switching for all on their own, for some people but ofc not for everyone:-).

I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well - lemm.ee

Brings up the question if there should be a migrate community option on the back-end
I just migrated a community from Lemmy to Piefed using the migration feature, it worked quite well - Divisions by zero

None work with Voyager. Soon all should work with Interstellar. Thunder is a special case where it currently being tested.
In general app support is very new and hit or miss - the webpage is the preferred method of access (though that should change this year as the changes continue to roll out and push ahead:-).

I don't understand what migrating an account could do besides making new, duplicate posts & comments and deleting the old ones, which would mess up comment chains and spawn even more duplicate posts with no comments on them than we already have.

It would amazing if when importing, all the posts, would show up linking to them, just that and nothing more.
But I think this was discussed and its not going to happen. -

Oh fuck it. I think I'll just stop using Lemmy when this instance shuts down. This is the part of the fediverse that really sucks. All the comments, saved posts etc are gone because why? A couple of guys couldn't handle a few troll messages? Sorry, if we want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you're gonna have to tough it out and deal with a few nasty messages.

I think posts and comments will stay saved on other federated servers. It'd be weird and would probably break things if the entire server's activity gets scrubbed.
