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

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.
Lately I've been getting more issues with images failing to load. Virtually every image from feddit.org had issue some days, but today I see random posts from mander.xyz and lemmy.world too. I tested it on another app and they load there. I can also open the lost in a browser to see the image.
Other than that the app is really nice, although I hate accidentally backspacing one time too many and restarting my scrolling from the very top of "all" π
Did you test another app with exact same instance and login?
Yeah, here's a screenshot using the sync app and another using voyager. Both signed in to pilon23@feddit.dk. I noticed it happening to a load of feddit.org posts, and now I notice this was also a crosspost to master.xyz from there
That image is loading fine for me on feddit.dk with Voyager. So I'm not sure what could be causing the issue you're seeing. Are you on the latest version of voyager.
Yeah I'm on 2.23.2. I also see that feddit.org doesn't even show up when searching for it in the communities. I'll try with a different account on voyager tomorrow to see if it's my app or maybe related to my account
Show edited usernames and hexbears (and other instances that use the feature) pronouns next to usernames
My edited username for example doesn't show she/her
Sometimes I can't scroll voyager when using iPhone mirroring with iOS 18/macOS 15. I haven't been able to pin down what causes it to occur though unfortunately.
Iβd love to see a floating action button like Thunder has with configurable shortcuts. I love this feature for quick navigation, dismiss all read (not fully hide since a refresh can bring those posts back), etc.
Apologies. I know I posted a previous comment but wanted to add another request.
Would it be possible to add an option that hides the top and bottom bars while scrolling?
Apart from that, great app.
I would love the ability to add in my own images to a link post as the post's thumbnailβ¨
When I make Youtube posts I use Invidious and sometimes the native thumbnail will load but most often times not. As such I often have to add in the thumbnail into the text details of the post.
Either way thank you and your contributors for the hard work to make Voyager great!π₯³
Iβm not sure if this is technically feasible, but Iβd like to be able to mark an entire community as being read. Sometimes I subscribe to a new community and Iβm just interested in the newer posts. Or some communities, like some that present the news, have so much timely content that they can overwhelm my feed. Iβd like to mark the whole community as read in order to keep my feed cleaner and more relevant.
Love the app!
Going beyond Apollo, have you ever thought of adapting Voyager to work on Apple TV? Not sure how many this would interest but thereβs a lack of Lemmy tv clients.
I used a separate app that would notify me about Reddit posts in selected subreddits if they hit a upvoted or comment threshold. Could be a separate app or built into Voyager. Also helps you keep up with smaller communities if they get drowned out in the main feed.
Perhaps some work on a sidebar for navigation for tablets or desktop?
I know Apollo never had that, but when Iβm on my iPad I tend to use Arctic simply because it uses the real estate better. But I use Voyager on my phone.
I try to use Voyager every few months, but keep going back to Sync because:
- I want more control over the appearance of my feed, comments, and replies. For the feed, Sync provides:
- The Back stack on Android seems weird. I don't use a lot of apps with bottom nav bars, but I think they should maintain an entry in the back stack for each category. Voyager seems to keep every instance that I've visited as a separate entry.
A lot of people like Voyager, so you're clearly doing a great job. Keep it up!
