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?

💜

    • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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 just want to chime in and thank you for putting together this awesome app. I use the iOS app not than anything else on my phone, and I probably use v.programming.dev more than any other website on my Linux PC.

    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. :)

    i really like voyager. one thing irks me though, and it’s sort of hard to explain…

    when i press the back button in most applications, the expectation is that i move one level back in a tree structure rooted at the application entry point. in voyager, back is more like stepping through my browser history.

    for example, if i’m viewing a single comment, depending on the way i got there the back button may take me to either a) the thread that comment was in, b) another post that links to the comment, c) a profile, d) something else, probably.

    now, this is not necessarily wrong, but it clashes with how i use apps. whenever i want to “reset” an application without closing it, i usually press back until i’m at the aforementioned root of the tree. with voyager, this is difficult to gauge because depending on how long i’ve been usinc it, the back button may go to comment > thread > community feed > community selector > feed > comment > selector > profile > comment > thread > post > feed > exit.

    i don’t really know how i would fix this behaviour either, just that it feels off compared to other apps.

    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’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

    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.

    Please add some well placed “back” confirmations. For example, when browsing All please ask for a confirmation when hitting back before returning to Home.

      And/or remember where we were in the scroll list for all/home (That seems like it’d be hard to implement - even original Apollo had this flaw - so the way DJKJuicy put it is probably the play)
