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?

    I would love the ability to add in my own images to a link post as the post’s thumbnail✨

    When I make Youtube posts I use Invidious and sometimes the native thumbnail will load but most often times not. As such I often have to add in the thumbnail into the text details of the post.

    Either way thank you and your contributors for the hard work to make Voyager great!🥳

      Thanks! This should be doable. I think there’s an issue for it on github, not sure though

    Wood be nice to have a gif integration in comments where you can search and post gifs straight from the app. Prob no gif providers that are privacy focused though.

    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

    This is frankly not a huge issue, but in the iOS app, sometimes pulling down to refresh doesn’t remove read posts. I also have the setting that shows the button to remove seen posts. Tapping on it doesn’t seem to do anything. When this happens, I just close the app entirely and try again.

    This is literally the only problem I have with Voyager. The app is otherwise perfect. Thanks for the incredible work!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

      Yeah… I’ll have to revisit at some point and check if there is a better way to do this with Ionic

    I have a simple one.

    When you search for a community, then start browsing one and go back to the search the text is gone. This requires you to retype the query for each community you visit.

    It would be cool if the query was saved.

    Thanks for all your hard work :)

      To add to this, just having a search history would be awesome. There’s a bunch of times that I’ve stumbled across neat things, neglect to save them off, and then forget the keyword that got me there.

      Bonus points for true deleta-ability (for anonymity/security)

    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)

    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

    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
