Voyager

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.

No matter how much I try to convince Android not to, it insists on killing Voyager sometimes when I switch to another app. This happens a lot when I'm trying to find a link to post in a reply, but also basically at random any time I switch to another app and back.

Voyager loses all state and just dumps me in my start page again. This is not fun if I'm replying, to say the least.

Contrariwise, Tusky (Mastodon app) drops me in exactly where I left off.

I have an issue with voyager where if I am on an image centric community, and start scrolling, voyager would sometimes scroll down and zoom through pages of content.

If I scroll down slowly it never happens but it mostly happens if I kinetic scroll.

As for feature, I would love to have the option of customising the theme further. The dark black theme is my favourite, but would love to change some aspects to make more legible. For example, I prefer to have gray font on black background as it's easier on the eyes.

Love this app honestly. I have two issues that have led me trying other apps, though I ultimately come back.

First, I don’t know how to describe it, but trying to press and hold an image to save it, for example, seems sluggish and non-responsive. Sometimes it ignores my press entirely, sometimes it waits a while then just “zooms” the image a bit, and it often takes me 3-4 tries of trying to open the context menu for it to take.

Second, sometimes when I try to swipe back from a post to the feed, it gets “stuck” halfway and requires a restart because the post is still “open” and any touch input just shifts the post left or right, but won’t actually return me to the list.

Otherwise, it’s a great app, and no other suits me nearly as well, so cheers to that!

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.

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 :)

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

• It'd be great if user tags and vote totals were included in settings export/import. Losing those would mean dropping Lemmy entirely at this point since I prefer to tag rather than block most problem users. Tag import is also critical if we want to write a script to import user tags from other apps like Sync or Boost (since it'd just be converting one JSON schema to another).
• It's a longshot since I'm guessing it'd be incredibly heavy on API calls, but a way to import vote totals from Lemmy's up/downvote history. Voyager's vote tracking is the killer feature that had me drop Boost, but it was weird for the first week or so seeing people I knew I upvote all the time at only +1-3. We can manually set vote totals ourselves so someone could write a script to do most of the work outside of the app (especially if #1 is added), but a native way would be far more convenient.
• An option for long pressing the post thumbnail to show an enlarged preview of said thumbnail. Sync has this, if you needed an example of what I'm thinking of.
• An option to change what clicking on the OP or community in post view does. It's an incredibly minor annoyance, but sometimes on Android I accidentally tap one of them when attempting to open the post.

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.

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

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 :)

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!

I’d like to be able to see profile information, or at minimum a link on the profile page to open in a browser. There’s also a bug with the image viewer where it seems to zoom with only one finger and gets pretty broken.

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

Why does android not have filtering when iPhone does?
