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?

Sometimes I’m 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.

I would like to see this too, just some roadblocks that need to be cleared - https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/91

It doesn’t need this to be implemented if its done via swiping on the bottom bar like it worked in apollo

I’d 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.

Sometimes my feed just randomly refreshes, losing my position. As in I'll be scrolling, or swipe to go back to posts from a post, but it'll refresh the posts and return me to the top. It feels like a bug, but happens randomly so I can't reproduce.

Maybe there needs to be an option to manually refresh, and every time a user navigates back to posts a little non-intrusive popup displays with "Last refresh: X hours ago" for a few seconds.

Have seen this also - super random so I can’t help you reproduce it, but can back you up on that for sure.

Yeah same. Apollo had back and forward navigation and I miss that a lot.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Me too, I still haven’t found a Lemmy UI that does forward swipes. It’s the biggest thing I miss from Apollo. Alien Blue had it too for the oldheads here.

!arctic@lemmy.world has forward navigation just like Apollo. Arctic is inspired by Apollo, so it should feel just as familiar as Voyager, only it’s a native app. I don’t recall Alien Blue having forward navigation, but it’s been so long I guess that I have forgotten about it.

The one feature I’m missing from Apollo. App is great otherwise.

[–] xnx@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 days ago

Apollo did this by letting you swipe on the bottom bar to go back into the thread. It remembered your position until you opened a new thread. It is a great feature

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

Back and forward navigation is the thing I miss the most.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

This is a great feature. I miss it from Sync.

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Yes, please add this type of navigation.

I asked for a "back confirmation" in a different comment for the same reason. It's too easy to accidentally lose your place.
