Request: save & share buttons below the image
Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I really like voyager, it makes accessing lemmy very easy and aesthetic for someone who's new to fediverse.
There's a small feature I think would greatly enhance the experience:
Two wide buttons - (save) & (share), just below the image, whenever a user clicks on the image.
Like how bluesky does it. (I can't upload a reference image as I am still new to lemmy)
It would make things so much more intuitive and I love to download images. It's one thing I didn't like about reddit - Saving images was a pain in the ass.

You can long press the image to open a menu for that. I think buttons would fly in the face of the minimalist aesthetic of the app.
It doesn't do that for me. It only brings up the menu upon clicking the three dots on the right.
I think my suggestion would only make it more minimalistic.
I don't think I am explaining it right.
The current image lightbox has four buttons at the bottom - (Upvote), (comments), (share), and (menu)
My suggestion is to replace the (upvote) & (comment) buttons with a wide (download) button. Comments can still be opened with a slide up gesture and there are multiple places to upvote.
(Personal assumption) I think people rarely use the comment button and the upvote button in the lightbox itself.
I see what you mean now. Yeah, that would work.
