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’m not sure if this is technically feasible, but I’d like to be able to mark an entire community as being read. Sometimes I subscribe to a new community and I’m just interested in the newer posts. Or some communities, like some that present the news, have so much timely content that they can overwhelm my feed. I’d like to mark the whole community as read in order to keep my feed cleaner and more relevant.
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
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’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.
I would like to see this too, just some roadblocks that need to be cleared - https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/91
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 tinkerer in me keeps trying other apps.
I always come back to voyager. Regardless of the current road map, you’re doing a killer job.
