Babies are too loud (self.voyagerapp)

(Great name BTW.)

I'm not quite sure the solution but I found the babies to be too loud and distracting. I think if every account had a color and emoji it wouldn't be as distracting, but I also might hate that more.

It might just be the yellow of it all, if it were black and white that might make it better, but that's not how emoji works so I'm out of ideas.

I do think it's a neat feature, but I had to turn it off. Figured by posting here other folks might have ideas.

Edit: Android PWA 1.14.0

...babies?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

The new version of Voyager has an option to put baby emojis next to new accounts. I think they are saying they are getting distracted by that.

I’m confused, I don’t see this anywhere in the settings. Is it OS specific? I’m on iOS

[–] MimicJar 3 points 1 year ago

Whoops, sorry about that, yes Android PWA 1.14.0

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I just checked and the TestFlight version is 1.13 while the App Store version is 1.14

That’s probably why I have no idea what this post is about.

Ah there we go. Though now I’m up to date, my taskbar (or whatever you call the thing at the bottom where I switch between feed/inbox/etc is) disappears when I scroll, dang

Sounds like a bug. This does not happen in android

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I too keep second guessing what community I’m on… so confused

I’m even on test flight.

I’m starting to remember this being a feature on Apollo. Highlight accounts based on how long they’ve been around and easier to identify karma farmers or bots.

I don’t see that as an option in the beta Voyager. Do you mean another app like Avelon?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Apparently the TestFlight version of Voyager is actually behind the App Store version

The App Store approval process works in mysterious ways

[–] loopy 2 points 1 year ago

Oh you’re right, I’m on 1.13. Weird, I guess I’ll get that one lol

Is that what I’ve been seeing? With the days next to the name? Annoying.

[–] MimicJar 4 points 1 year ago

In theory I like it, in practice I don't. If happily turn it back on if it were lower profile in some way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can turn it off.

[–] Zerlyna 3 points 1 year ago

I did!!
