One thing that would be great, if possible, would be the option to choose what browser opens links. Right now itβs either in app or the default phone app. Iβd love to just send articles to firefox focus to prevent all the ad pop up take overs.

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
very satisfied with it the way it is! thank you for everything β€οΈ
I would very much like to be able to use emojis from various servers. E.g. blahaj has some trans emojis that'd I'd like to be able to use even on Lemmy.ml
Also remembering the selection for "sharing as image" to hide username/community would be nice
Sometimes Iβm 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.
Iβd 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.
I would like to see this too, just some roadblocks that need to be cleared - https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/91
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.
Video from PeerTube and Loops is not embedded. Is it possible to be able to play videos directly in Voyager?
Yeah, definitely. I did a POC with Loops and it worked nice. I just need to revisit and make good privacy settings so that user can configure sites to enable auto embed (since Voyager would need to make a passive request to the respective instance while scrolling the feed).
I'd love to be able to save message drafts.
Sometimes I start typing up a reply to a comment, but I want to go back and check the OP, or a previous comment, or the community I'm in, or even the rules of the community I'm in.
Right now, I can copy my comment and paste it in. But if I find myself wanting to copy text from one of those other places, I'm out of luck (unless I want to turn on clipboard history, which I don't due to security concerns). I could use a separate app, but that's annoying.
Another thing I'd like is a better flow for recovered text. It seems that Voyager saves one draft whenever the app crashes/closes when writing a comment. It asks if I want to save or discard the comment. This is good.
What I'd like better is that recovering the text actually takes me to where I was writing the comment. Sometimes it's hard to remember where I was writing the comment, or even if I do remember, it can be hard to find it again.
Overall, I'm loving the app. These are my only 2 pain points right now.
Iβd love Apollo-level inline video playing.
Keep up the great work!
Just dropping in to say brilliant app mate! It fills the Apollo shaped void in my wee geeky soul. Canβt think of anything to make it better as it already does everything I want.
Previous Apollo user, this is where itβs at. Without Apollo support I dropped Reddit. Without Voyager I would most probably not be on Lemmy.
Apart from the known iOS issue requiring the occasional app restart, no bugs and loving the app. Only feature iβd like to see is a display of the instance in the post list. So not just βnewsβ, but β[email protected]β. Some community names exist on different instances (which I think is not helping new users, but itβs a lemmy problem, not a voyager one)
One feature Iβd like to have is the option (maybe a setting) to recover text when commenting and then pressing as sometimes I reply to a comment and then want to read the original post again.
Thanks for making this app, it has been the Lemmy app Iβve tried by far
I still want a way to go from the subscribed community list to where I was in the posts. If I'm in an article in a post and hit back once extra time by accident then I'm screwed and the entire post list refreshes.
Would it be possible to make it easier to copy a single word? Right now there are multiple steps where I need to hold it down, then click select text, then try to highlight a word if I want to get a translation of a word for example.
It would be nice if I could just directly highlight a word with a tap or translate without the multiple steps. Thanks for the app.
Double tap doesn't work? ios or android?
This is on iOS. Double tapping collapses or opens the entire comment field.
Currently to copy an actual word I need to hold down on the comment field, a menu pops up where I can select "Select text", where I can then go in and select a word to use for translation.
