Hi everyone!

2025 is here, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Voyager for Lemmy.

  • What features would you like to see added to Voyager in 2025?
  • Are there any bugs or issues that are bothering you?

💜

I find myself really often accidentally collapsing comment threads while scrolling, or accidentally selecting posts I didn't mean to when scrolling. Not sure if that's fixable at all or just because I have a new phone I'm not used to yet. Just throwing it out there in case more people have this issue

Honestly, i just love voyager as it is. I'm still on reddit, but use voyager/lemmy like 4x more by now. So i'm sure there will be great improvement ideas here, I'm here just to thank you 💪💪

Oh and there's been an open issue regarding showing user profile pictures on their page, it would be awesome to have!

I'd love it if deleted posts included a link to the mod log to easily see if it was a case of moderator power tripping or just some asshole commenter.

More mod tools are planned!

First off, you’ve made a great app. Makes me not miss Apollo one bit. Best Lemmy app out there, period.

And I’m on Lemmy because I don’t wanna be on Reddit anymore. Or on X, YouTube, instagram, fashbook - all the exploitative, controlled-media, oligarch-run platforms.

I’d love if Voyager became an ever better tool for that. Give me the option to flag, block or filter out any reference to those platforms. And better yet, automatically propose / replace any posted link to those platforms with a fediverse alternative whenever possible.

Also, I’d love to get automatic context with any given link. I would love to know whether a site is reliable, what country it’s from, who finances it, what political preference it has, if it’s billionaire-owned, etc. All inline with the link itself. There’s online sources for a lot of that info - integrate them into voyager!

This age demands smart tools that make us more informed of what’s going on behind the deluge of info. Voyager could help do that.

Thanks!

Two features I'd love to see are an option from the posts view for "Scroll to top", also while in a comments section the ability to "find/search" the various comments. Thanks so much :)

Why does android not have filtering when iPhone does?

Features: Tablet layout on iPad, GIF scrobbling with swipe.

Bugs: Database error, UI missing requiring quit and restart.

Overall though, Voyager is amazing & indispensable. Great job :)

Fast way to open post in normal webkit (in iOS App) view, as fallback if a post has somehow issues.

[–] aeharding@vger.social 2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

You mean, as linked in post or comments? One thing that might work is long press.

Hi!

Let me please add to the thanks and kudos for all your efforts developing a truly excellent app!

Two new features I didn’t see elsewhere (my apologies if they were already mentioned or are otherwise off base):

  1. ability to search the comments of a post you’re viewing (like “find in page” on a web browser)
  2. ability to view the relevant portion of the mod log by clicking on a comment that has been moderated (e.g., deleted)

Thanks again!

Swipe anywhere to go back would be a nice added feature.

I'd like to save drafts and have it connected to the post or comment I'm replying to.

Be able to search my saved comments and post.

I wish there was an option to move the up and downvote arrows to the left side. So I can scroll and upvote with one hand as a left-handed person.

[–] aeharding@vger.social 2 points 5 months ago

Cool idea. You can do that with thumbnails, I don't see why not buttons

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

When you maximise an image without going into the thread itself (I.e. tapping the image displayed in the feed), if you press the back button, it exits to your instance list

Would prefer if it only exited out of the maximised image

[–] aeharding@vger.social 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It shouldn't do that. Are you using the latest version? And PWA or native app?
