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!

Thanks for the feature request! It's up in the air as for when we might be able to work on this. However, the soonest would most likely be after we re-work the underlying logic of the post page. For reference: #1363
