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?

💜

Could we add the “disable downvotes” option that lemmy had in native settings. Ie. it’ll hide downvotes and behave according to upvotes only.

I know this is technically possible in voyager if you’re on an entire instance with downvotes disabled, but lemmy settings let you do this with a single account, which voyager does not.

ALSO I’m loving the new label/tagging system. :)

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.

i have a privacy/security feature request:

lock screen prompt when trying to switch profiles.

currently all it takes to switch is two clicks, no identity verification.

so if you have a regular and a NSFW (or otherwise private) profile, and you give someone your phone to look at a post, it's easy to switch to a profile that should be gated behind a verification screen...

infinity has this feature, and it's really nice for peace of mind!

otherwise voyager has been excellent all around! thanks for putting the work in!

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

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.

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

You mean, as linked in post or comments? One thing that might work is long press.

Why does android not have filtering when iPhone does?

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 :)

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 :)

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):

  1. ability to search the comments of a post you’re viewing (like “find in page” on a web browser)
  2. ability to view the relevant portion of the mod log by clicking on a comment that has been moderated (e.g., deleted)

Thanks again!

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.

Swipe anywhere to go back would be a nice added feature.

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

It shouldn't do that. Are you using the latest version? And PWA or native app?

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.
