Feature request: Horizontal swipe for next/previous post in feed

I would love this as an option for navigating between posts, and I’m surprised that most Lemmy apps don’t have this.

Joey for Reddit had this feature, as does the official Reddit app. Connect for Lemmy has this feature, and Boost for Lemmy doesn’t show the comments in swiping mode. Eternity is the only Lemmy app which does it properly so far, but development has fallen behind in other areas.

Would the Thunder devs consider implementing this feature? It would probably win me over!

    If this happens, please make it optional.

    I would hate it so much if if swipe right was «go to previous post» instead of «go back to the feed».

      Slide for reddit implemented it perfectly. To this day, I haven’t used another app as fluid and usable as it was. Sadly it’s development stopped way before the reddit debacle.

      Swiping from the edge took you back and swiping across the center switched the posts. And all of it was beautifully configurable

        Wow, that sounds like it a great implementation.

      Oh definitely. I’m not saying that my preferred way of browsing Lemmy should be the only way to browse Lemmy. More options for the user are almost always better.
