NOTE: This feature is currently being rolled out to the Apple and Google stores and should be available in the next day or two. However on desktop you can try it out right now (after enabling - see below) at https://vger.app/!


This is currently in BETA, and is turned off by default. On tablets and desktop, you can turn it on in Settings -> Appearance -> Layout. (The setting won't show up on phones.)

The right column is dedicated to viewing a specific post. The left column is for the regular navigation of the app.

Pro tip: On macOS, I recommend adding Voyager to your Dock (https://vger.app/) with Safari's new "Add to Dock" feature! Check out the above screenshot - it's quite slick.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

I enjoy scrolling the local/global feeds but I often come across NSFW content, which despite being blurred, annoys me. Is there a way to completely hide that? Thank you

Like how you swap between different Google accounts when on mobile.

App broken? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Sorry that I cannot provide a more specific title, but the whole app seems to be broken. On the post tab I only get the error message "failed to load posts", on the profile tab it's "failed to load user profile", messages and notifications do not get loaded, no communities get listed, etc. Tried it with two accounts on different instances, neither account is banned, I can access everything in a browser iron other apps.

I installed the latest update after this error occurred, no changes.

Edit: app works again after de- and reinstallation, everything's back to normal.

Some of the nsfw community icons are becoming fairly explicit, and are not blurred by the image filter.

Just a suggestion, I really liked this feature on rif. Hide on read is ok, but I prefer the vote, and feeling when I vote and something disappears.

Howdy. Love the app, but something’s confused me for a while. I’m on two iOS devices, and when I read on one, it doesn’t seem to be read on the other - I wind up seeing the device on both.

I have “mark read on scroll” on, as well as “auto hide read posts”, but it still keeps happening. Is this a Voyager issue? A Lemmy.world issue? Many thanks!

Sort of surprised search in Voyager doesn't include this type. I tend to search by URL to try to check that I'm not reposting links someone else may have already posted.

Since people may not reuse the title of whatever they're linking to, this can sometimes be more reliable than searching posts by title.

Appreciate all the work put into Voyager!

I do not know the reason for this. But, Voyager minimizes once a while like my keyboard is on when its not. I use Futo keyboard and have experienced this bug for a long time across voyager versions. My android version is 15 but I also used to experience this in android 14.

At the time of the screenshot I was using Niagara launcher which could perhaps be related.

I'm curious how Voyager for Lemmy is funded. Or is it just community driven so the workload and potential costs are spread out far enough that nobody is footing the bill all by themselves?

I was reading a long comment on a post, but then tabbed out for a minute, only to tab back into Voyager and see it reload, and there isn't any way that I know to go back to that post. This has happens numerous times but usually I can just scroll to the post either in my feed or in my upvotes (assuming I upvoted the thing first)

This time however I just can't and it makes me frustrated

Is there any way to see my view history on this app, and if not are there any plans to implement it, and if not still what apps should I use instead that either have this view history feature, sorts my upvoted by order that i upvoted, or just refrains from reloading and dumping my position with no recourse?

Thank you

You got it exactly right and I love the hell out of it. Makes the ol' ADHD a little less of a liabillity here lol

Amazing dev, that is all ;)

Ever since I updated, I seem to be having issues with the built in NSFW filter not functioning as intended. I've toggled it, reloaded voyager, done a fresh install, no troubleshooting I've attempted has remedied the issue.

Has something changed that I am missing? I see nothing on the bug tracker.

I know my home instance is NSFW, but that was just a quirk of fate and I'm not interested in seeing it all the time... just sometimes lol

Any information is much appreciated,

Thank you.

This is the one feature that I miss daily from Apollo. I had it set so that a left swipe anywhere would trigger the “go back” function.

Right now you MUST swipe close to the edge and I can’t find an option to make it anywhere.

This is a big ask and maybe something bigger than just the Voyager app itself. However, I would like to see Lemmy have the same type of user level moderation tools as BlueSky. BlueSky allows users to subscribe to mute/block lists for misinformation and other types of unfavorable content that people can subscribe to. I feel that having these types of lists on Lemmy would be a great tool for preventing Lemmy from being overrun by bots and misinformation in the future. BlueSky has the misinformation blocking list enabled by default for all users as well, with the ability to adjust the settings for specific categories.

I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to request such a big feature, but I feel that such a feature would be a core part of helping to safeguard the Fediverse for the future.

Voyager should be able to cache posts & comments offline. Also, have the ability to save state even if android reclaims memory from the app.

Hope this is not imposing. Voyager is a neat app but can use some refinements.

I'm on android v2.30.0 native app.

Whenever I try to Select Text, it only pops up a few millimeters at the bottom of the screen. I can pull it up a few more and copy the whole text and work with that, but this isn’t how it used to function. I can no longer see the text and select snippets from there to copy.

Just a friendly UI/UX note for Voyager team: On my phone, the “Application answer” box — that sign-up page says must be filled out — is literally invisible because the box is black, and the background is…basically black. I had to tap, and tap, and tap, and tap around before I got a cursor where I could type my answer.

Whenever I opened Voyager in any given day gives me the theme it stays for the rest of the day. e.g. if I open it before sunrise, the app is set to dark mode all day.

This has been posted before and was left unanswered.

I would think it would periodically check what the system theme is so it knows if it should switch modes or not.

Ok this sounds crazy, but I am experiencing a very weird issue. If I try to open certain communities, I get the message 'failed to load more posts'.

Now I might be seeing a pattern where there isn't one, but it seems to me like it happens on communities that have 'ru' at the start of their names, like c/Rust, c/Russia, c/Ruby, and basically every other 'ru...' community I tried. What is going on?

This is happening in all the types of feeds in the past 2-3 days. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how do I fix this ?

Hello,

I would like to see the server's name on posts, even when I'm on a post or a community that belongs to the same server I am using.

Here is my reasoning:

  • I have multiple accounts, I don't always remember which server I'm on.
  • I am on relatively small servers, so I don't see very many posts from my own server, which leads to confusion when I see one as I can't figure out where it comes from.
  • for uniformity?

Is this something you'd consider?

About 5 - 10 % of images on my feed don't load, but show this error. Any idea what's going on? On android.

In quite a few of the communities I subscribe to, a portion of the content is provided by bots reposting items from corresponding subreddits. This is often useful, but it'd be helpful to have a filter that would show only "native" Lemmy posts, since these tend to attract more dialog.

Perhaps this could be done by looking for the presence of Reddit URLs in the post text, and/or by triggering on common strings such as "rss" or "bot" in the username.

Thanks for building such a great app.
