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’d 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.

    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.

    Wow so many replies with suggestions. Seems like I’m in the minority of people who thinks the app is pretty functional as is and does everything that I expect.

    The best way i can put it is that during wefwef days and the early voyager days, I would look out for every update as functionality and polish was getting added. Nowadays, I dont actively look out for updates because the app is already soo polished and functional. I still like the QoL features that are getting added and appreciate them but the app is and will remain great even if development stops today.

    Also @[email protected], take breaks and relax - Voyager is great as is

    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.

    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

    First off, thanks for making a fantastic app! Just a couple of niche requests:

    1. (Likely incredibly difficult to implement) When reposting have a way of detecting that the post in question has been reposted to that community already.
    2. A hopefully simpler request, NSFW images should stay blurred even when navigating to the comments. Often people like to check the comments before unblurring to avoid any unsightly images. I believe this is done by several other apps already.

    Again though, great work! Been a very nice experience so far!

    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.

    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.

    Sometimes I’m far down in a thread and then swipe back to my subscribed list, but then I regret and go back into the thread. It would be nice if it remembered my last position in a thread. Maybe just for a few seconds, in case.

        It doesn’t need this to be implemented if its done via swiping on the bottom bar like it worked in apollo

      I’d love this for the list of posts as well. Sometimes I accidentally tap back, then if I hit All or Subscribed or whatever again my position is gone.

        Sometimes my feed just randomly refreshes, losing my position. As in I’ll be scrolling, or swipe to go back to posts from a post, but it’ll refresh the posts and return me to the top. It feels like a bug, but happens randomly so I can’t reproduce.

        Maybe there needs to be an option to manually refresh, and every time a user navigates back to posts a little non-intrusive popup displays with “Last refresh: X hours ago” for a few seconds.

          Have seen this also - super random so I can’t help you reproduce it, but can back you up on that for sure.

        Me too, I still haven’t found a Lemmy UI that does forward swipes. It’s the biggest thing I miss from Apollo. Alien Blue had it too for the oldheads here.

          [email protected] has forward navigation just like Apollo. Arctic is inspired by Apollo, so it should feel just as familiar as Voyager, only it’s a native app. I don’t recall Alien Blue having forward navigation, but it’s been so long I guess that I have forgotten about it.

      Apollo did this by letting you swipe on the bottom bar to go back into the thread. It remembered your position until you opened a new thread. It is a great feature

      Yes, please add this type of navigation.

      I asked for a “back confirmation” in a different comment for the same reason. It’s too easy to accidentally lose your place.

      This is a great feature. I miss it from Sync.

    I would like tags I’ve made for users to allow a dropdown to select ones I’ve previously made. For example, I’ve tagged numerous people as Zionists or Tankies, and would like to be able to quickly select that tag for new users to the list, instead of having to type it out and select the color.

    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 suggest the following major things:

    • Commenters in threads to be colored by their first comment in that tree (if they first commented in red their username will be red the entire tree, that way it’s easier on the eyes to distinguish who’s talking), idea taken from a Reddit client I used to use ages ago
    • I really don’t like it when I’m on all and by mistake click on Android’s Back button, it just moves me back to the community selection screen and doesn’t let me get back to where I was in the timeline
    • Highlighted search in the comment section of a post
    • I’d love the ability to copy the URL to the attached content directly from the post

    Also, I feel like clicking on a post frequently sends me to the attached content instead of into the post itself, maybe the post structure can be improved somehow?

    Thank you so much for this awesome app and being so open to feedback

    The tinkerer in me keeps trying other apps.

    I always come back to voyager. Regardless of the current road map, you’re doing a killer job.

    Previous Apollo user, this is where it’s at. Without Apollo support I dropped Reddit. Without Voyager I would most probably not be on Lemmy.
