Recently hopped over to Lemmy from Reddit, initially tried Boost and the web app and wasn’t super happy with the experience however after installing Singing I can happily say the experience has improved vastly. It feels more promising and premium than the actual official Reddit app!

    Hi thanks for the write up!

    1. This doesn’t happen on iOS, but should get more investigation

    2. I think this is a matter of opinion. I personally prefer the Voyager compact mode. But I am biased. ;) You can tap and hold to get to the ellipse menu. You can also disable the large vote buttons in settings for more tap space.

    3. You can block, view side bar etc by tap and hold on username/community name.

    4. I don’t think this has been requested yet as a feature on Github.

    5. That’s cool

    7 Planned :)

    1. Voyager has recovery in case of app crash, but doesn’t have a draft system.

    10 planned but not yet :)

    12, you can tap and hold to jump back up.

    14, you should see a warning if you hit back by accident. If the comment is empty there is no warning because there is nothing composed.

    15, you can set Voyager to open links in browser, instead of in-app

    16, this is being worked on :)

      Regarding #15. In didn’t tap a link in Voyager. I tapped “Share” and then chose the DuckDuckGo browser as the share target for the URL. I do this occasionally since it’s not my default browser and I use it for throwaway links I don’t want to clutter Firefox with.

      In every other app, not just Lemmy ones, it simply opens the browser as a new process and loads the URL. On the other hand, Voyager some how opens the browser as Voyager. When opening the recent apps list, I no longer see Voyager. I only see DuckDuckGo with the Voyager icon above it.

      Once the page is open, if I tap into a link on the page, then another, then another, I know have to hit Back 3 times to get back to Voyager.

      No other app does this.
