Another fairly large release! Before I get into it, thanks to those who have donated! I had a $50 one-time donor today which means I won’t be working on Voyager tomorrow evening 😉

New Features

Modded communities list

Quickly get to all moderated communities if you have them!

Share Gesture

You can now swipe to share. This is native-app only, due to web API limitations.

Collapse Comment Gesture

There has always been a “collapse to top” comment gesture. But now there’s a collapse comment gesture, which behaves similarly to tapping a comment to collapse it.

Inbox items marked read on reply and vote

This is a nice little feature when you have a lot of new unread notifications in your inbox. Swipe to upvote, and it’s read!

“Later” long swipe gesture

If you are overzealous with your swipes and accidentally trigger the long swipe gesture, you can now configure it to trigger later, requiring a longer swipe.

More actions inbox ellipsis

This ellipsis has always been here, it just hasn’t been implemented till now. 😅

Improved communities list performance

If you’re subscribed to hundreds of communities, you should see improved performance on the communities list page.

Tap status bar again to scroll back to where you were

(iOS native app only) This was a nice Apollo feature: When you tap the status bar, you’re scrolled to the top of the page, but if you tap again you will be scrolled back to where you were! Great to glance at the OP when you’re deep in comments.

New install guidance

The “Install App” page now provides links to install the native apps, if you’d like.

You can always continue to install the PWA by tapping “launch as Web App”!

Filter subscribed in All/Local

Does what it sounds like it does! You will only see subscribed in All/Local. This setting is at the bottom of General settings.

Auto Hide Read Posts

Once you read a post, it will be hidden the next time you refresh the feed. You can also disable hiding read posts within communities.

Improved mark read on scroll

Posts should now be always marked as read on scroll, no matter how fast you scroll.

    You can unhide read posts in Profile -> Hidden Posts -> Reset :)

    There will also be a hide temporarily vs permanently option coming.

    Would also love the option to move the community name to be on top of the posts instead of the bottom so I dont always open the community by accident instead of opening the post

    Yeah I need to figure out a good way to resolve this. I was thinking I could make the instance domain not clickable, so there’s always that middle tappable space. Or I could move community name and instance to separate lines. This will require a bit more investigation to decide what approach to go with, though.
