Voyager

Some removed comments are not clearing from the reported comment queue. They show as red (removed) from the community, but they are not clearing from the list.

I’ve tried reloading the app, but the removed comment still remains in the queue.

I use the app in an iPad, a much of the time when I click with my finger on the comments icon, my finger hits the community link.

Anybody else have this problem?

Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts in German in the All feed. I love that there's communities on Lemmy that aren't in English. I wish there were some available in my second language. However, I can't read or understand German and seeing posts in German regularly is starting to get a bit annoying.

Is there a setting available anywhere, that I've missed, to filter by language? Or, will I be best just blocking these communities as they come up in the feed?

I use the voyager android app, not the pwa.

I’ve been promoting Lemmy for this past week since hearing more about it and seeing it has a great app now. Although the process of actually signing up myself has been a bit of frustrating nightmare lol.

To start, when I originally signed up I must have entered in my email incorrectly. Which usually isn’t a big deal since with most sites you can just sign back up under the correct email. However, because I used the wrong email, the username I created and really liked has become locked out from use. This was really disheartening for me since I was so eager to sign up under a fresh username to start my Lemmy experience off on the right foot. I desperately tried to look for who to contact for how I could fix this issue, but everywhere I looked to report a problem/request help required already having an account.

After accepting the fate of my preferred username being locked out I gave up and decided to just move on under a similar username for signing up. However, this time when I signed up under the right email, I found out that my application was rejected for some reason. This left me very confused since I followed the sign up protocol of typing “Lemmy In” which I thought was a cute way of acknowledging I was a real person that read the rules. Upon looking at some of the other servers though I saw that for some reason they just reject people that just type in “Lemmy In” even though I was prompted to type that???

The unfortunate thing is I don’t even see a way to appeal the rejected application so now the backup username and my email associated with the account both can’t be used on the server. Does anyone have any advice for what to do? I’m sure a good chunk of other potential new users are getting stuck on entry, that are eager to join Lemmy, but running into similar issues.

TL;DR: It’s taken me a whole week just to make an account, and I can’t have my top two names or use my preferred email for the account.

Hi everyone!

2025 is here, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Voyager for Lemmy.

• What features would you like to see added to Voyager in 2025?
• Are there any bugs or issues that are bothering you?

When trying to add an account on a new server, app makes me create an account on that server instead is asking me if I have an existing account.

How can I login on a new server?

I found an old (more than a year) post where someone had issues with filtered keywords being reset. At the time it didn’t seem reproducible.

On iPhone, running iOS 18.2.1, it consistently clears the filtered list if I quit the app from the app switcher. Community and user blocks are unaffected.

I’m unsure if this is a new issue or not as I haven’t used a keyword filter until now.

Currently, selecting a block of text, then applying list formatting (either ordered or unordered) replaces the text with an empty list. Starting a list, then pasting text, puts all of the text under the current entry in the list.

Ideally, it would apply the list formatting to existing text based on line breaks, and respect line breaks in pasted text to extend an existing list.

On iOS, not sure if this applies on android/web app.

On IOs, If I were to, for example, remove a comment for “misinformation,” when the word is typed out and autocomplete is used, submitting the action via the remove button doesn’t work. Essentially, pressing it does nothing at all. My theory is that It could have to do with the additional space that autocomplete creates, but even backspacing doesn’t correct the issue.

The only way to resolve this is to start over, and manually type out the entire word or phrase without using autocomplete or autocorrect.

Not a huge issue, but I don’t know if this causes other problems elsewhere.

(Admittedly, I know nothing at all about coding… including if that’s even the correct term for it)

Eternity:

That’s how great an app Voyager is and wanting to share Lemmy with people! Kinda blew my mind

So thanks devs for adding the share as image option! Beautiful work 😄

For instance, it would be cool if there were a way to have dark mode for one account, and have voyager auto-swap to a different theme when switching to a different account. Or even just have different theme colors per account.

Hi all 🙂

I just wanted to check if this was happening for anyone else before I raise an issue on Github.

I've noticed for a while that Hexbear's emojis were huge, but just assumed that it was some of the random nonsense that they like to do, but then the admin of my instance posted some emojis and confirmed that they should be regular emoji sized.

The thread is here for context:

!https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16069969

Can someone let me know what size the emojis are for them please? I'm on Android 🙂

A few Reddit apps did this back in the day and it was very convenient. If there were a link to Reddit posted anywhere, selecting it would open the app instead of the webpage.

(Really hope I’m explaining this correctly. I’m not family with the terminology I’m probably needing here)

Is this going to be a thing, or… could it be a thing?

EDIT: This is for iOS by the way.

A Fediverse Alternative to TikTok

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

Bails with "failed to load media 😥" ... loads fine when using the browser. Known issue already?

It would save not one but two entire taps! Think of the milliseconds!

Especially when posting images, it’s nice to confirm you are indeed posting a meme and not a screenshot of your tax returns. And formatting can always get messed up once in a blue moon.

So, the existing flow is to write your comment/post, tap the three dots, tap preview, review your comment/post, tap done, and tap post.

The new flow would be to enable “preview by default“ in settings once. Then, write your comment/post, tap preview, review your comment/post, and tap post.

When I come across a user or community I would like to not see any more, the least thing I want to do is to have to view a screen full of the content from that community or user. As far as I can tell, though, the only way to block a community is to go into that community. Am I missing something?

Is there a way to have Voyager use an external browser to display web links? In iPad I’d like to use Brave, to minimize ads

...for those of us that mostly consume news through Lemmy.

Hi!

Sometimes, a comment is deleted by a mod, and I'd like to see what it said without having to dig it manually.

For multiple reasons:

• To keep mods accountable: We have seen mods abusing their power on some communities.
• To understand context when reading replies of deleted comments.

Now, of course they shouldn't simply show in the UI, it should show as deleted, but I could see an option to retrieve it from the "three dots" menu.

Thanks for the app!

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?

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!

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:

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.
