Media uploads constantly failing. (lemmy.world)

For the past several days, it has nearly impossible to upload an image via the Voyager app on iOS using my lemmy.world account.

Every now and then, an image gets through. And uploading using the website works every time, so I don’t know what the problem is.

Have you tried clearing voyagers cache? Rebooting your phone? Closing all the apps that are open? Do you have this issue on cellular or just on WiFi? There needs to be a lot more information given here for anybody to be helpful.

Clearing the cache does not fix the issue. It just makes it spin longer before failing again.

Killing the app in memory does not fix the issue (but increases the probability of it working once in that moment if I keep spamming the button).

Restarting the phone does not fix the issue.

One thing I noticed is that posting images to communities on certain instances is harder than others. There’s some kind of handshake issue happening. This was never a problem in the past, unless the instance itself was experiencing technical issues.

Again, going to the website in a browser on the same phone on the same network and image uploads work every time.

…and through this I am having zero issues posting text.

Hmmm okay. Are you using a beta iOS? If so that could be the issue, if not maybe consider updating to the 27 beta. It’s pretty mature for a beta release and 26 has never not felt like a jank beta anyway.

Otherwise you may need to file a bug report on the voyager repo.
