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?

💜

    One thing that would be great, if possible, would be the option to choose what browser opens links. Right now it’s either in app or the default phone app. I’d 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

    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

    Wow so many replies with suggestions. Seems like I’m in the minority of people who thinks the app is pretty functional as is and does everything that I expect.

    The best way i can put it is that during wefwef days and the early voyager days, I would look out for every update as functionality and polish was getting added. Nowadays, I dont actively look out for updates because the app is already soo polished and functional. I still like the QoL features that are getting added and appreciate them but the app is and will remain great even if development stops today.

    Also @aeharding@vger.social, take breaks and relax - Voyager is great as is

    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!

      1 - good idea, I’ll have to check the lemmy api.

      2- that makes sense, I don’t think that’s on github yet.

        Thanks! Oh one last thing that jumped to mind! The ability to make custom feeds alongside Home. So one could add certain communities to a certain feed to only see posts from those communities.

    Lately I’ve been getting more issues with images failing to load. Virtually every image from feddit.org had issue some days, but today I see random posts from mander.xyz and lemmy.world too. I tested it on another app and they load there. I can also open the lost in a browser to see the image.

    Other than that the app is really nice, although I hate accidentally backspacing one time too many and restarting my scrolling from the very top of “all” 😄

        Yeah, here’s a screenshot using the sync app and another using voyager. Both signed in to pilon23@feddit.dk. I noticed it happening to a load of feddit.org posts, and now I notice this was also a crosspost to master.xyz from there

          That image is loading fine for me on feddit.dk with Voyager. So I’m not sure what could be causing the issue you’re seeing. Are you on the latest version of voyager.

            Yeah I’m on 2.23.2. I also see that feddit.org doesn’t even show up when searching for it in the communities. I’ll try with a different account on voyager tomorrow to see if it’s my app or maybe related to my account

      Not even close 😅 I did apply for NLNet at one point but didn’t make the cut, probably because I’m not in the EU.

      Unfortunately funding for OSS in general is just not sustainable full time. And funding for OSS that is not a software dependency (part of the build chain) is nonexistent in the USA (as in $0.00 dollars in funding available).

      Pretty much all ‘real’ OSS funding in the USA is grants by companies using the software under the hood which just isn’t a thing for software like Voyager.

      Based on his librepay and github sponsors history, the answer would be no. Dont know about the donations through app store and play store

    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.

    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.

    I’d love it if deleted posts included a link to the mod log to easily see if it was a case of moderator power tripping or just some asshole commenter.

    Honestly, i just love voyager as it is. I’m still on reddit, but use voyager/lemmy like 4x more by now. So i’m sure there will be great improvement ideas here, I’m here just to thank you 💪💪

    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’d love to see a floating action button like Thunder has with configurable shortcuts. I love this feature for quick navigation, dismiss all read (not fully hide since a refresh can bring those posts back), etc.
