BREAKING CHANGE

Voyager now connects directly to ALL Lemmy instances! If your Lemmy instance does not support CORS (using an old version of Lemmy), you will no longer be able to connect. Virtually all larger Lemmy instance have been upgraded with support for direct connect for Lemmy clients.

New features

New icon

Thanks very much to @fer0n for our wonderful new logo! This logo was chosen as part of our icon design contest. @fer0n also created a fantastic new splash screen for Voyager!

Want to get it? Remove and re-add the app to your homescreen. (Unfortunately, you will loose all settings + hidden posts)
Like the old icon? The old icon will continue to be displayed until you remove and reinstall Voyager to your homescreen.
Want a different custom icon? For iOS, check out this shortcut! https://routinehub.co/shortcut/15817

Custom swipe gestures

Thanks to @rsammelson for this great new feature! You can now customize swipe gestures however you desire - including turning them off. Check it out in Settings!

With this change, the long right swipe for posts is now bookmark instead of hide. You can change this back to the way it was in Gesture Settings, if you prefer!

Instance sidebar

From the Communities list, click the icon the header to view the instance sidebar! From here you can view the admins (and direct message them), as well as view other helpful information.

This is great, thank you! By far the best lemmy experience.

I wonder if the area for swiping from left to right to go back could be increased? I find that I have to really find the sweet spot to the edge of my screen in order to make it work, and with left gestures disabled, it would be great if it worked in their place. Is that possible?

Please make it so you can swipe anywhere to go back when the left gesture is disabled.

Can you add "swipe to go back" gesture

[-] mancy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

If you set left swipe actions to “none” then swiping to go back works reliably.

This does not work for me on iOS. Tested on iPad and iPhone.

Where are you initiating the swipe from? With Apollo, when the left gesture was disabled, you could initiate a left swipe from anywhere on the screen to go back. With Voyager, I have to initiate the swipe from the left side of the screen to go back. On a large device such as an iPad, this is not ideal.
