Hey, i would like to be able tp see users pronoums and 'usernames' (i.e. their readable name, and not their tag). Great app!
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):
- ability to search the comments of a post you’re viewing (like “find in page” on a web browser)
- 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 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 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.
As far as features go, I'd love for loops to get embedded!
I've noticed a couple fairly annoying and related bugs involving images on android (pixel 5a, f-droid release), but I haven't checked yet to see if it's been reported. When I select an image and then dismiss it with a swipe gesture, rarely I'll be taken to the communities menu and have my feed refresh and return to the top. Even more rarely, it will send me to my profile, then returns me to the communities menu, before returning to the spot I was in. It's entirely unpredictable from my testing, so attempts to record have been fruitless for me. Most often though, it occurs if I've scrolled through the feed for an extended period of time. It doesn't occur when selecting text threads or viewing comments though
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 :)
I used Voyager for a while and here are the issues i noticed before I switched to another app (which also has issues):
- Gestures for actions tend to take big motions, bigger than is comfortable to me, and the difference between actions is small. Like, I need to swipe very far (and not too fast), and then within a few millimeters, it goes from upvote to downvote. In the end i was just wishing for buttons considering how much work was to reply or downvote.
- The combo of auto-marking posts as read when scrolling and hiding read posts doesn't work too well. I frequently refresh my feed to only see stuff I've already seen and the posts stick around until I manually click then, go back and refresh. When I drag down at the top of my feed to refresh, I want to see posts I haven't seen before. Refreshing 2-3 times and seeing nothing new...i don't think anyone expects that from a social media app. Nearly all Lemmy apps seem to have trouble with this behaviour.
- I don't think it's a great idea to make "click = comment and thread disappears" the default. I often did it by accident and was very disorienting.
- I would often accidentally swipe/touch something, not realize what, and end up at my feed, the post I was looking at entirely gone, and no easy way to go back. To this day I'm not sure how I did that, but each time it a bummer to give up the post I was reading.
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
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 there’s 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.
