This popup was recently introduced in PR-2174.
I don’t know exactly why, but voyager prompting me that I’m about to lose my progress was sort of strange to me in the context of scrolling on lemmy.
I understand why someone wants such a feature, but IMO this should be turned off by default and available as an option.
I heckin love this feature. I regularly swipe accidentally, losing all progress. Either finicky android swipe implementation or a post that appears to be full screen/selected. It’s an accessibility thing, and I really appreciate it
