i just realized that m.lemmy.world is the same as the voyager app yet its a theme for lemmy, so was it copied?? its like a fork? either way its most likely open source so its fine!
The mobile theme on lemmy.world is Voyager. You can see it linked on the lemmy.world sidebar. Voyager is just a web app, so it can be hosted by instances as a mobile UI.
That’s pretty sweet
Lemme used Voyager as its mobile view, not the other way around. They implemented Voyager as a better alternative to the native original view
oh ok i understand!! its in the settings menu!! im sorry, i thought voyager was a fork of that theme
Voyager is open source and always has been. Voyager can be hosted as a website or used as a standalone app. lemmy.world is running a Voyager server for their mobile site. It’s not a fork, just an instance.
Many Lemmy instances have a mobile view like m.lemmy.world that use voyager or other FOSS self-hosted lemmy front ends. This is to provide a convenience to their users, and voyager provides a setup that makes this easy for instances to implement.
Awesome synergy! Good Dev ;)
