Feature request - disable gestures

Hello, I would really appreciate being able to disable swipe gestures (for example to upvote/downvote or save). In Apollo iirc there was a settings switch for each swipe gesture, and disabling all of them enabled lateral swipes for navigation, from anywhere on the screen instead of just from the edge. Thanks

We've got a big customization update slated to start development soon, full gesture control will definitely be in it!
- Very nice thank you

Apollo for that other place had it; it meant I don’t accidentally upvote/downvote or invoke those actions as I scroll. Made scrolling much smoother for me. Especially with good caching. Scrolling back to the feed from a post felt great.
If you use Voyager (which is legit a Apollo clone) it has the removal of gestures.
- I’m sorry but a PWA is never ever going to be good enough to replace a native app, especially one written in swift like Mlem, no matter how well the interface is designed.
  
  Voyager has a native iOS app. It even has an Apple Watch companion.
