It’s a personal preference. Ever since I tried gesture I never went back to buttons. I don’t even need to adjust my hand position to get out of a page and it’s never been a problem until that site has put a different function exactly where my thumb was going to swipe.
Also, such a function you are suggesting would use a different gesture. You would have to swipe from the center-ish of the screen outwards instead of the other way around.
Seems more like a genuine feature to me.
I don’t know how many requests I’ve seen for Lemmy apps to be able to swipe between posts in the feed.
Seems that’s basically what they’re doing here.
But also, gesture navigation is terrible, I hate it, and always turn on 3-button navigation when I get a new phone anyway.

Apple’s gestures though, I can’t stand.
