Arctic is a (much) better Lemmy client than any other out there for iOS at least but there are some nifty features for the most recommended app Voyager like the ability to disable side swipes altogether because Apollo’s (reddit) double-tap to upvote for example is much intuitive where side swipes are used to enter and exit communities, posts, comments, menus, settings… or whole app together on Android or Jailbroken devices.

This is my multireddit link after removing u/user which were included as r/_u/redditor from an existing bug to test this for Arctic which would fully enable me along with a lot of us to leave Voyager behind.

I just want to follow normal behaviour that’s also not individual to me if I am the only one to dig through settings and toggle the option because I learnt it here while others go on without it which may influence my perspective being one sided.

I am actually quite an active person no matter where I go, people keep complaining with frustrations even that this is bad and this is worse or this is convoluted but not exactly express why is it bad, where is it bad or how is it bad and can be improved instead of being crticial in the comments section whenever a discussion trends in an unrelated community or thread like c/AskLemmy recently for example, and still no efforts are made to visit the respective community and give their thoughts which is especially more clear if you’re humble and eager enough to hear my thoughts which is so respectful in my humble opinion.

I can understand the 3D Touch being lacking in newer phones hence why I suggested to continue using single tap for collapsing comments, double tap for upvote, and haptic touch to open the menu and select an option without lifting the finger at one go so the menu itself can become smaller. This was a show of understanding to declutter where you can even add triple tap for copying all text (without selection) as example while the one via menu shows select text option while keeping the list minimum.

Earlier, the icons were non-interactive element but since we have left gesture to go back layer wise, single tap on menu icons itself should directly reset to the main screen.
