Voyager

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!

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

The profile tab for changing accounts is dependent on the logged in account loading. I'd prefer if I can change accounts faster and independent from the account's instance loading speed.

Edit: Checking now, I'm not sure if it still persists, kinda hard to simulate for me.

The Inbox tab can be a bit fiddly about returning to the Inbox at times; it would be nice if the first touch switches to the Inbox tab as usual, but a secound touch definitely returns to the main Inbox page, regardless of previous position.

Big thanks for the app.

Hey, i would like to be able tp see users pronoums and 'usernames' (i.e. their readable name, and not their tag). Great app!

Loving it, Voyager is great to use.

Would like a way to pull up a list of instances federated and defederated with my own.

Also, an easier way to get a non-voyager link to a comment to then post for people.

My trouble with both of these might be faulty user errors.

i have a privacy/security feature request:

lock screen prompt when trying to switch profiles.

currently all it takes to switch is two clicks, no identity verification.

so if you have a regular and a NSFW (or otherwise private) profile, and you give someone your phone to look at a post, it's easy to switch to a profile that should be gated behind a verification screen...

infinity has this feature, and it's really nice for peace of mind!

otherwise voyager has been excellent all around! thanks for putting the work in!

Could we add the “disable downvotes” option that lemmy had in native settings. Ie. it’ll hide downvotes and behave according to upvotes only.

I know this is technically possible in voyager if you’re on an entire instance with downvotes disabled, but lemmy settings let you do this with a single account, which voyager does not.

ALSO I’m loving the new label/tagging system. :)

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 💪💪

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.

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 :)

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 :)

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

Please, PLEASE adjust the UI to prevent accidental touches. On far too many occasions I mis-tap and end up going to the community instead of the post. Or the User's profile instead of collapsing the comment. Drives me nuts! Those links are already in a separate menu; no need for the redundancy. Tapping anywhere on a post should only ever go to the post. Tapping anywhere on a comment should only ever collapse the comment.

Take a page out of Relay for Reddit, where you swipe to the left on a post or comment to bring up a submenu, and that's where your options to upvote/downvote, reply, view the community/user profile, etc. are. (i.e. Remove the 3 dots and put all those options in such a swipeable menu.) The current swipe gestures should be turned into a "slow swipe" gesture so that people still have the option to set their favorite shortcuts to them.

Please, I'm begging you to implement this.

If I accidentally swipe open the communities when browsing my feed, I should be able to swipe out of it back to my feed. Another option would be to have an option to disable swipe to open communities picker.
