Voyager

I looked through the posts here, and the various threads on the git. Saw that the feature was implemented, but doesn't appear in my settings?

Just wondering if it was axed, never actually got rolled into main, or was rolled back due to stuff?

I keep hearing of people who have used Lemmy for a few days or a few weeks and want to start using a mobile version – often Voyager.

They open Voyager for the first time, and get a screen with a button for logging in. They get a choice for which Lemmy instance to join, but no place for entering their existing username or password.

I've told them that "in the first screen there is a button that is very difficult to notice, allowing you to use a pre-existing Lemmy username. Find that semi-hidden button, click it, and you can login."

It is of course a working workaround to pre-emptively tell people that the button exists, is just very well hidden, and needs to be clicked by most people who download Voyager. But still, it would be cool if the screen for new users could be altered so that the ability to log in with a pre-existing username was equally visible as the choice to create a new account!

In any mode but light mode the quoted text bar is nearly invisible which makes makes reading posts with quoted text a challenge.

I would love an option to change the color of the quoted text bar, or barring that, it would be nice if the default color of the bar were easier to see on dark mode.

Thanks!

I am pretty sure i was hiding upvoted posts, so i could reduce the clutter in my front page and get to new stuff faster.

But now i can see upvoted posts again and i cant find any option that hides them(am i blind).

I added a keyword to be blocked but it's still showing posts where that word shows up. Not sure if it's because the keyword is in descriptions and/or comments instead of just the title.

Sorry if this has been asked before I couldn't figure out how to search the community either.

Thanks for your help on either of the two issues! 😂

Edit: it seems I needed to subscribe before I could search, and it took me a minute figure out how to subscribe....

Anyway I'm learning. Still looking for a way to auto-sort by new if that's an option.

Cheers

Edit again: I figured it out. It was in the settings all along. Might as well leave this post up in case any one else has this question.

Solution

Settings > general > posts > default sort

And

Settings > general > comments > default sort

I recently switched to Voyager, but I seem not to be able to load any catbox images or videos.

I've tried it with and without VPN - no luck.

Anyone else having this issue? Or dare I hope a workaround?

For example, I'm on Lemmy.world, I can view posts by Local but I haven't figured out how to view all communities on Local.

I see value in being able to do the same for any other instances I choose to search for too.

I'd appreciate any help in doing this if it's already possible or even an explanation to why it's a potentially dumb idea 😅

Hello!

I’m posting this from my second account. I’m having issues with my main on .ml (my world account would be my main but I signed up during the Reddit API thing so I didn’t understand Lemmy or Fediverse anything back then) but anyways for the past 2 days I couldn’t save or upvote anything. Today I tried signing out and then back in. However once I signed out I was unable to sign back in. Is this an issue with Voyager or .ml?

Thank you for any help!

New Lemmy/Voyager user.. Is there an option to highlight new comments on a post I previously opened/visited? (Doesn't allow me to upload a photo due to my account being too new; but hoping my question makes sense)

Edit: also wanted to add that I really love the app. Thanks a ton to the dev(s)

I was getting a connection error when upvoting on lemmy.ml so I tried to sign out and sign in and now I’m getting a connection error when signing in. I’m able to do all of this via the web. Voyager has worked perfectly until now.

Voyager works fine with my other account on sh.itjust.works.

Anyone else having this problem?

Voyager 2.24.4

Beta Track - [511] e6d48fe

iphone15 pro max

iOS 18.3.1

This one has been bugging me for awhile, so I don't know when it started. But images in-line in the text portion of posts show at their original resolution, and do not scale down.

Example: https://50501.chat/post/19511

Etc

Possibly related, images that are wider than they are tall don't scale down in comments.

I keep getting this message when trying to post pictures, both in threads and private. A problem accured, your account is too new to post pictures.

Any solve to this?

It’s absolutely obnoxious having to scroll through the miles of auto-mod nonsense and “cleanup” removals. There’s a few in particular that are spammed constantly.

Can we maybe get a feature to filter what is displayed in the modlogs so that we can use it as a proper reference tool?

Curious if Voyager has options for the following that were available on the Reddit app:

1. A down arrow/next top level comment button to quickly navigate through comments. In the Reddit app this a floating down arrow button

2. pull down on your feed to refresh and see new posts

Not sure if I’m missing them or if they don’t exist

Hi. I created a lemm.ee account and hope for a Reddit alt. I came to Reddit from StumbleUpon and Digg so I’m open to migrating to the next good thing.

I paid for Apollo and loved it. And I’ve found Voyager to be pretty close. So that’s cool.

I was able to migrate my list of subscriptions and find many similar communities and I continue to explore and subscribe to active communities on Lemmy.

But a few questions I can’t find answers to:

1. Can I create a multireddit in Lemmy/Voyager? Like I want to keep NSFW out of my home feed in case my kids look over my shoulder while I’m casually scrolling, but would like to save some favorite nsfw subs in one place for “future convenience.”

2. Lots of posts say, “Failed to Load Media.” Is that a common Lemmy thing? Or Voyager? Or my device?

3. Do I need to subscribe to communities on multiple instances? Like I see there are a lot of Technology communities across various servers. Do those aggregate to one place? Or do I need multiple subscriptions until I find the instance that serves up the best content.

Thanks for your help!

There are a lot of options to change swipe actions, but I use my phone with my left hand and often try to swipe right to upvote, but when I do, half of the time it instead it goes back. Can we have an option to disable swipe-right-to-go-back?

Maybe I'm being stupid but where are the notification settings?

I cant see anything in the app, in droid settings it looks as though the permissions haven't been requested?

Am on GrapheneOS if that helps.

When I exit voyager all of my settings get reverted to default and have to restore from my backup several times a day. This has been happening since the latest update. This the android version. And it's happening on all of my devices old and new from Android 8 to Android 14

When I build with what is on the main branch, I get an error about invalid CFBundleShortVersionString, which appears to come from here:

ios/App/App/Info.plist

    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>$(MARKETING_VERSION)</string>

I can workaround / hack a fix by modifying the Info.plist file with something like:

    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>1.0.0</string>

But I assume that's not the right thing to do. What is the correct way to set CFBundleShortVersionString or $(MARKETING_VERSION) ?

It would be nice if there was a way reduce the load on instances in regards to images. This could be either be done by converting the image to webp to make it smaller

Or by implementing a setting for alternative image hosts (imgur, catbox.moe for example)

Pretty much the title. And on settings i can't find where that was shown. Happened while I was using voyager iirc

While scrolling through the feed, sometimes if I ever try to scroll up to the post before, it triggers the "pull down to refresh" feature. When it starts to happen, no matter how slowly I scroll up, it always triggers it. Weirdly enough, it seems to happen more on the All feed rather than the Home feed.

If this is not a bug, could we have an option to adjust the strength of this feature, or disable it outright? It's annoying to lose my place every so often.
