Voyager

I can’t notice a pattern, but it happens all the time in both instances I use. I get to a post and there’s an image that can’t be loaded. I open the post on the browser and it loads fine.

(I’d share a screenshot of the browser but the inline picture upload feature is giving me grief now. ☹️)

Here’s the sample post: https://feddit.org/post/538582

Everytime I go to post an image I get this error.

To workaround, I have started waiting for the media browser to finish loading, then I count to three, and it usually works with the three seconds, but not always.

In previous versions I could set the nsfw blur settings (Settings > Apperance > Blur NSFW) for my feed on a per account basis. This was good for having a nsfw and a sfw account that I could easily switch between. As of 2.12.4, it seems this setting is now global forcing me to have to switch it each time i switch accounts. This can also be problematic if i forget to re-enable the blur when switching back to my sfw account.

I am unable to find a community hosted on sh.itjust.works when I search for it from another instance. I know this is probably not a voyager issue, but I was wondering if anyone might be able to help.

Can't unblock. Not sure if this is the same issue, the wording described is different "at your request" and when I look at app notifications, voyager isn't even in the list

Is there any way to see a list of communities either on the instance you’re subscribed to, or better still a remote instance? I can go to Local and New posts to see what’s been posted, but that’s really about it. Even if there’s a way to see communities of an instance you have an account on, I wouldn’t want to sign up for multiple instances just to get a list on each one, then flip back to my main account to subscribe to them.

This happens on Android and iOS

is the instance dead?

Not sure if this is a lemmy thing or voyager thing, but is there a way to view your subscribed communities without the larger ones completely drowning out the the smaller ones?

And number two, can we create / manage a community from the app?

Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on.

However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon.

Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please?

Thank-you in advance

UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. 😳

I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice!

Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! 🤣

Edit: to be clear, I mean the original post. Thx for anyone checking

This morning, when I launched Voyager, my settings were reset. I suspect the app may have upgraded and something caused the preferences to be lost. This wasn’t the first time it happened, and who knows if the underlying conditions triggering this reset would happen again.

It would be nice if we can export our preferences into a json file (or whatever format serializes easiest), and re-import them next time the preferences gets lost, so we don’t need to manually make all the changes.

I like to stay active within the mod community and stay on top of what’s going on in the back-end of lemmy, and there is a certain few mods that when they don’t like what someone posts, they remove them from every community they mod- which is MANY. Even if the person only ever posted in one of them.

It’s sucks this is even allowed, but I get that if it wasn’t, the alternative might not be better.

Is there ever going to be a way to collapse the modlogs down to specific moderators, or even filter out the obnoxious ones?

I just noticed that crossposts like this one: https://lemmy.ca/post/23884170 do not show the text from the original post.

Viewing the crosspost on a browser displays it, but on Voyager it only appears if I click on the original post.

And what app is it based off of?

Lately, I have come across posts on the voyager app, showing "x more replies", but clicking on either the text or the arrow on the right will not expand or show those comments. Is this a bug?

Edit: I appreciate everyone's reply, I didn't have any users blocked, though. It turns out, exporting my user settings from my old instance didn't include the language selection, hiding posts declared as being "English".

What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

In the last few weeks, I frequently see some empty comments. It's just the username and no text beneath.

Is there a deeper reason behind this? Do people nowadays strip away the text instead of deleting a comment? Or did some script surface that 'makes the internet forget'? First I thought people did this before deleting a comment and the deletion just didn't get federated. But I scrolled through some older posts and they also still have comments like that, so that can't be it. Right?

Can anyone educate me?

There’s a few mods that pretty much remove/ban EVERYONE and EVERYTHING they see that goes against whatever it is they believe in. And in scrolling the mod logs, these people dominate the feed. Is there any way to make them not show up?

Worse yet, there’s a specific mod that will ban people from every community they moderate, if someone so much as steps out of line in just one of them.

This is incredibly annoying to have to weed through.

First, thanks again for making this app. It’s excellent and I’m always impressed when I use it.

I have an unusual and possibly niche feature request inspired by Alien Blue: swiping forwards and backwards from any edge. So from the left edge you can swipe right as if to go back, but reverse the motion and go forwards instead. And vice versa. It feels like using momentum to navigate either way with a single finger. Discord also had this feature until the mobile app redesign.

Video example here, it says it’ll expire in two days but I don’t know where else to put it. This allows for satisfying operation and one handed browsing, such as when vigorously masturbating to tech news.

I understand if this is too niche to add, it’s merely something I’ve wanted every app to have since AB. Thanks for reading!

Ps, I would also appreciate an option to put the vote buttons on the left. Years of AB then Apollo have gotten me quite used to that, and maybe left handed people would appreciate it. No rush on either of these if you choose to work on them, I’ve been meaning to ask for both of these since the days of web app only. I actually meant to ask Apollo’s dev for the swipe thing too, back when it released in the App Store, but didn’t interact much back on reddit and never got around to it.

It shares a link to the post now where it used to share the image.

After an update a couple weeks ago, I thought there was a bug inserting links. Turned out I was just hitting Cancel.

Guessing it was my brain since I don’t see anything in the change log. Feel free to lie to make me feel better :p

I'm on android fiy.

Where does it save any pictures I save? I can never find them when I've saved them through Voyager.

What is this, and why are there so many requests to it?

I have searched and those lead to mostly stack overflow questions for developers, not users.

I block all google and googleapi requests, this seems to slow the app down.
