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 ;)

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.

my favorite feature from reddit has to be the custom feeds option. It helps so much to filter/separate all the news & politics from other topics I’m interested in. Is there any way to do that on Voyager?? 🙏🏼😣

I just realized that when I hide read posts, they remain hidden for the rest of time with no option to revert that. I would love to add such an option, or even to make “hide read posts” a temporary thing.

I think it would be a helpful feature to have the text of a post or comment be brought into Google Translate. If you could click on the … symbol/long press options for a post or comment and had one of the top option be translate which opens the text of the post title or comment in Google Translate, within the app. BlueSky has a feature like this why I find helpful, and I believe Apollo had a feature like this back in the day. It would be handy to have this as a feature to help improve engagement and breakdown communication barriers.

I am currently using Voyager for Lemmy on Android. I don't see any posting icon to make or create a post?? Am I missing something here lol.

I'm curious what you Android users think of the Android vs Apple theme for the Voyager app.

• Which one do you prefer?
• Which one do you think should be the default for new/novice users? Why?

This would be the default, but don't worry, you will always be able to choose. I would also like to note that in the future Voyager will have a Material 3 theme, but not yet!

Thanks for your help!

Edit: thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I’ll probably make android the default theme on android for new users.

I am scrolling All, I have scrolled a long way, and I tap on a post. 

Then I’m done, I tap < Back, and then accidentally tap < Communities. 

I end up on this screen: 

In Apollo, I used to be able to swipe the bottom of the screen to get right back where I am. 

In Voyager, I can only get back by tapping All in the list. 

I return to All, but I’m back at the top and lose my scrolling progress.

When I want to download an image while on voyager; I tap on the image, select save image from the options menu, then it says photo saved. If it is saving them, then I can't find them, because they're not in my downloads, pictures, or camera photos.

Where are they, and how do I get them?

Update: Thanks for all the replies, it seems in my frustration, I didn't check how the filder waa sorted.

My phone (/e/os fp5) has a bad habit of defulting the sorting to alphanumeric

Thanks again

I was wondering, in the Voyager App, for posts, what is the smiley face with 100% next to it.

I looked everywhere, but was unable to find any information about it
