I know there are a ton of iOS apps for Lemmy. But what are they missing? What experiences would you like? It could be quality of life or big and ambitious features Many of you often have really good ideas and feedback, I’m looking forward to responses.

Voyager is cool, we have home, all and local. I would like a news sort option or at least be able to put any post with a news story link in its own category.

It can also be viewed as an Apollo replacement if you fled Reddit like I did.

If it had a split screen view on iPad, posts on a side bar and content on the main screen, I would be so happy.

Most of them can’t do the basic formatting of Lemmy, so in my mind, they are basically useless.

**Bold**
Bold

*Italic*
Italic

^Superscript^Normal~Subscript~
SuperscriptNormalSubscript

~~Strike-through~~

::: spoiler spoiler

Voyager supports all of these apart from spoilers.

You’d think they would have worked on the spoiler one first, slightly more important than making your text look interesting.

They seem to be having some difficulties but it is being worked on: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/9

I think it’s because spoiler tags in lemmy have been custom-made for some reason, whereas all the other stuff is standard markdown. Voyager is a web app, so it can maybe only render whatever the engine it relies on can render.

Edit: Turns out I’m 2 for 2 on making incorrect statements in this comment.

Voyager added support for spoilers since the comment I’m responding to.

Just in case anyone wanders in here and is considering Voyager.

Voyager does bold and italic without needing to know those, but yea it would be nice to add the others you listed without the syntax. It also does crossposting, text faces (/¯ ಠ_ಠ)/¯ share comments and posts as images, preview,

quoting

, auto finding communities and users sorted by most pustular, porting subs from Reddit to communities, etc.

Boost did not do superscript and spoiler for some reason.

Raccoon managed everything but the sub/superscript. Not too shabby!

Thunder failed the formatting test. Still like it though.

I wonder if it works differently on iOS, because it displayed all of those properly for me except for the super/subscript on Android.

Connect did them all right. It has it’s own problems, but I’m staying with it and support the dev for now on.

On my client (Jerboa), all of these worked except for ^Superscript^Normal~Subscript~, honestly I don’t know why it doesn’t support this very specific formatting thing.

Something thats missing is the ability for mixed sort types. For example. Sort by Hot and every 4th posts be a New Comments post. With the ability to customize this to your preference

I would say Eternity (based on Infinity) but reread and saw you’re on ios. If you want to escape the Apple-like design then you don’t have much of a choice.

Hello,

Where is the poll post, did you remove it again, even after people asked you to leave them as they had useful perspective on how to manage the community?

Where is the second post where a few members expressed their concerns on how the poll was made? The name seems to be “Deleted loser”, which seems a bit concerning to be honest.

Tagging @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works as this is their comment.
