Voyager

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

I clicked on a Loops link, which opened in the built in browser. Upon tapping Done, the audio (at the very least) kept playing. Voyager 2.19.3, iOS 18.1.1.

Edit: can't seem to replicate after force closing the app.

Hey, this is a really good app. the communities have grown enough to actually be a really good alternative to reddit.

my requests, can we have the ability to discover new communities within an instance our account is logged in to? I'm having to go to the actual instance in browser to subscribe and add a community to my feed.

also, can there be a context menu item to request to federate/subscribe to a community with another account? I'm finding I've have to make accounts in multiple instances since some have communities that are exclusive to their network so it would make migrating easier.

Sometimes I will post a link and no thumbnail seems to be pulled from the link. Is this a case by case basis or do I need to do something else?

Hello!

I’ve updated Voyager’s build and release process to automatically include new fixes and features in test builds.

iOS users have always had TestFlight, and now Android users can join testing through Google Play Open Testing:

👉 Google Play Open Testing

I’m looking for Android testers! If you’re okay with occasional bugs and want to help out and report issues on Github, I’d be grateful.

P.S. Also new: For PWA users, you can now test updates here:
👉 beta.vger.app

Thank you!

that way the user score tracker works fully even for us :3

By default I tend to see a lot of German and Greek posts in amongst the English ones.

It might be nice to have an option where the app can translate these in the default view, either on demand or automatically. (perhaps cached on the server to save CPU time?)

Even if it's just the post title, that could be interesting.

Hi, loving the app!

Something I hope could be added as a feature would be the ability to set an instance to use as the base for all link creation. As an example, I would like to always share Lemmy.world links when I’m sending links to posts to my friends. Currently, the share button shares the canonical link to wherever the OP’s home instance is.

There is a web app called Lemmyverse.link that will create Lemmy.world links from any Lemmy link, but it would be extremely convenient if this functionality were built into Voyager.

Ideally this could be added as a feature to Lemmy, but in the meantime, I’m hoping it could be added to Voyager!

I’m not sure at what point this happened but the self-hosted web app no longer shows the current version number. It does update regularly as expected and shows that it’s up to date, but the number itself is missing.

I'm new to the Voyager app and I want to know how to browse another instance in Voyager ?

-- EDIT: Despite my attempt at testing the issue before making the post, it appears the issue was entirely me and not the app. Image zoom is working flawlessly. --

Before the most recent update, it was possible to zoom in on an image post. It was a useful feature for multi-panel comics and images with a lot of text. It appears that the fix for blurry text in images may have unwittingly broken the zoom function.

/edit: I'm using the newest update of the android app from Google Play store

It would be nice if notfications about new reports in the mod queue would be displayed in the inbox.

Right now I have to check the mod queue manually to see if there are new reports. This could lead to delays in moderating reported content.

Since yesterday, I keep getting update notifications. However, the updates seems to not tell what’s updated and it’s very spam-ish. Was wondering if other people have the same issue;

When I put my iPhone down for a bit and come back to Voyager, the app resets back to the top of the feed. I then have to scroll so far down to find the place I was at.

My iPhone settings does not show Voyager app in the background app refresh settings.

I believe this setting would keep the feed in the same place when I bring the app back.

User tags are going to be so useful. Keep up the good work, @[email protected]!

Please add presets to user tags so that it may be easier to tag the specific users as typing and colour selecting each time takes a little extra effort.

I love the feature as it makes easier to track interesting characters and alts. Lemmy needs user tags more than Reddit ever did.

Ever since an update two or three days ago, Voyager has been displaying nothing but a blank screen on my phone.

Just running the PWA on Firefox 132.0.2 on my old Samsung Galaxy S10. I get the same results when visiting vger.app directly.

Voyager 2.19.0 introduced tracking votes on users but it seems to work only on votes that happened after turning on this experimental feature. I've been wondering if I could somehow apply it to votes that happened before that as there's a lot of them and wouldn't require me to build a new profile from nothing.

Also BIG BIG BIIIIIIIG thank you for this update. I love the features.

I've been getting a few messages about blurry images from lemmy.ml users due to lemmy v0.19.6. I rolled out a fix yesterday; it is in all stores except F-droid (will probably be there in a few days)

In other more exciting news, user tags is almost here! Stay tuned!

Hello! Curious I can not seem to see a setting for this, if so I apologize.

When I am in the feed and if I hit the back button on my android one too many times it take me to the community bar. Totally fine but this resets where I was at in the feed. I can't find a way to get back to that feed other than clicking on the community or "all", which resets my location.

Any ideas or am I missing something obvious.

Thanks!

Is there anyway to fix this? It just started happening a day ago I thought it was just the one post that was blurry but it’s been almost every single post with a picture in it

In the last day or so I have noticed that images on nearly all posts appear to be low resolution / blurry. Anyone else experiencing this? I am on version 2.18.4 iOS 17.6.1 iPhone 13 Pro.

Strikethrough formatting (double tilde) is displayed as ~ ~subscript~ ~ in titles

And now that I'm thinking about it, I'll edit this title to check for bold vs italics.
