Description
Hi, thank you very much for your work on RedReader.
Sometimes, e.g. when browsing r/all, I only view pictures and videos, skipping any external links.
Other times, many subreddits are almost exclusively image/video-oriented.
In these situations I'd really like to be able to browse in a more efficient way -
- Open image/video
- Swipe to the left to view previous image/video post, right for next. Text/link posts are skipped.
- Alternatively, swipe up for next, down for previous.
- I'd like the order to be the same as the one selected by the user (hot, new, etc)
- Press back to open the respective post's comments.
In essence, some way to browse images and videos without the laborious tap-wait-view-back-repeat cycle.
Thank you for reading.

Research direction
Start by tracing how RedReader opens image and video posts, how subreddit listings apply the selected sort order, and how back navigation returns to comments. Done means users can swipe through only image/video posts in the selected order and back out to the corresponding post's comments, with the chosen swipe direction supported.
