Voyager

Hi, every time for the last month or so that I've tried to upload an image for a post, I've gotten "task panicked". This happens regardless of whether I use lemm.ee or Lemmy.world and I'm also seeing it on other clients. What gives?

Issue present for the past week or two on the latest and previous latest iOS versions. Likely unreliable to reproduce, but just experienced it here:

https://lemmy.world/comment/14264451

I tapped on the GIF, swiped down (… or up?) to close it, and the GIF zoomed in. From that point it’s difficult to close the GIF with one finger, but zooming out with two fingers works fine.

Current Behavior

• there is a Hide Read posts button

• there is an option to Mark Read on Scroll

• there is a Gesture to Hide

• There is an option to Reset Hidden posts

Issue

1. When some GIF/video posts take time to fully load in the , I would scroll down to next set of posts while I wait for previous videos to load. As a result, I cannot turn on Mark Read on Scroll because the slow loading posts have not been Read. 

2. Upvoting/Downvoting marks posts as Read. 

3. If I want to hide some posts, I use the Gesture to Hide posts.  

4. If I hide a post by mistake, using the Reset Hidden Posts option deletes the history of Hidden posts but keeps the history of Read posts. 

5. After reading the incorrectly hidden post, if I Hide Read Posts again, only the Read posts are hidden. The previously Hidden posts have been reset are not hidden at this point.

6. As a result, in order to retrieve one post marked hidden by mistake, we end up unhiding all the other Hidden posts. 

Solution

Provide a Gesture to Mark Posts as Read. 

• This gesture can then be used instead of the Gesture to Hide posts. 

• When Resetting Hidden Posts, the history of Read posts will be preserved. 

• When using the button to Hide Read posts again, all Read posts will be correctly hidden instead of losing the Hidden posts history. 

• Alternative Solution**

Provide an option to Mark Hidden Posts as Read. 

Finally, thank you so much for consistently providing the most amazing Lemmy browsing experience!

That PleasantPolitics bot is obnoxious! Also, there’s a few mods that use mass auto-removal bots when someone so much as posts comments that they don’t like.

It would be nice to be able to filter these out of the modlog feed. (If it’s even possible)

I went into Moderator Zone, then hit Mod Log. But it seems random? It's not a modlog of my comments and posts, and it's not a mod log for my moderated communities. So what is it? To that end, what is the Moderator Zone in general?

We have the option to block posts by keyword, but communities have to be blocked explicitly by name. I'd like to be able to block all communities by keyword, or regex.

I have two use cases. The first is for communities that exist with the same name on many instances. The second is to be able block all the ".*meme.*" communities.

I don't see such an option anywhere.

On some comments, there is now a [+ (number)] symbol next to the vote count. When I upvote it seems to always increase. Is this the number of times someone using Voyager has upvoted?

Well, I hope the icons are recolored to work both on light and dark themes.

I'm using the web app and this is applies to both Apple and Android designs

I love that this is supported but it's not for me. Can I turn it off?

99% of the annoying, rude, and discriminatory content I see is by accounts less than 5 days old. I’d like a feature where I can just automatically hide them.

We can view all our upvoted (or downvoted, saved, etc) posts & comments from the account page, but it’s just a simple chronological list.

I’d like to be able to filter the list, particularly by community or by user.

Example use case: I want to be able to easily see every post I’ve upvoted on [email protected] without having to scroll past everything I’ve ever upvoted anywhere.

screen recording of me doing it in apollo if you don’t know what i mean

~~also, please add the ability to tap on the top of the screen to go back to where you were if you accidentally tapped on the top.~~ edit: i just realized i can do that here

also, please add the ability to swipe on the right edge to go forward a page

Voyager stopped opening in links in Firefox?

Did an update get pushed changing this is behavior? previously I have voyager set up to open all links in Firefox. I did t change anything but now it wants to open up everything in YT app. I use Firefox for ad blocker.

I'm not sure if this a bug in the new version or something else at play, but several explicitly marked NSFW posts in my feed have been unblurred as I scroll today. It's not every post, just some. Viewing the comments and backing out blurs the image correctly. Might be worth investigating.

V 2.20 on Android

Edit: enough ppl in this thread confirming, I'll get a GitHub issue opened after dinner.

Not sure if it's just me but I've noticed that Voyager is running approx 25-50% smoother now in performance thanks to the recent 2.20.0 update!

thank you and the contributors for making Voyager run even better than before!🥳✊

Edit:
I found the Liberapay link for Aeharding/Voyager within the app, may I make a suggestion to also add the link to the repo and F-Droid page?🤔🤗

After updating the app, I opened the app to realize that the top and bottom layers have changed, grey top and black bottom.

I'm on android 13 and I have the latest update app. Any way I can fix that ?

I've set +1 tags to people I've seen in on

I’m not sure where the issue is so I’m starting here. I was sent a link to lemy.lol from someone who was able to watch it. When I try to open it I just get a failed to load media error. I downloaded the video and was able to play it. The other person is using Android.

I’m don’t think it is specifically a voyager issue since it happened in browser too but I’m hoping someone here might know what to do.

Allowing users to block instances similar to blocking communities via tap and holding on any community name.

This would simplify and improve the user experience as it would allow users to block instances instead of requiring then to navigate to the filters settings to then manually type for the instance.

I'm assuming the implementation should be fairly easy and beneficial as:

1. The tap and hold menu is already implemented
2. The selected instance can be directly added to the blocklist reducing the need to search, thereby slightly improving performance. (I could be wrong about this point)

I have some communities I am subscribed to that are automated, and consequently become very spammy in the home feed, but I still want to view and engage with their content. It would be nice if there was a "mute" feature distinct from blocking that would allow hiding posts in a a community from the home feed but still allowing subscribing, since blocking unsubscribes you.

Small bug. When I block a community, the pop up says ‘user blocked’. The community does get blocked though so it’s functional.
