Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered surprising new clues about a hefty, rapidly aging star whose behavior has never been seen before in our Milky Way galaxy. In fact, the star is so weird that astronomers have nicknamed it “Nasty 1,” a play on its catalog name of NaSt1. The star may represent a brief transitory stage in the evolution of extremely massive stars.

First discovered several decades ago, Nasty 1 was identified as a Wolf-Rayet star, a rapidly evolving star that is much more massive than our sun. The star loses its hydrogen-filled outer layers quickly, exposing its super-hot and extremely bright helium-burning core.

But Nasty 1 doesn’t look like a typical Wolf-Rayet star. The astronomers using Hubble had expected to see twin lobes of gas flowing from opposite sides of the star, perhaps similar to those emanating from the massive star Eta Carinae, which is a Wolf-Rayet candidate.

Instead, Hubble revealed a pancake-shaped disk of gas encircling the star. The vast disk is nearly 2 trillion miles wide, and may have formed from an unseen companion star that snacked on the outer envelope of the newly formed Wolf-Rayet. Based on current estimates, the nebula surrounding the stars is just a few thousand years old, and as close as 3,000 light-years from Earth.

So I'm reading a post, tab out for a while, and when I come back the app reloads and I have not found any way to go back to said previous post, is there any way to view a history of read posts? And if there isn't, are there any clients that do have this feature?

And before anyone brings up likes and saves, those aren't in the order that I read them, but in the order that they're originally posted. I know that in lemmy 1.0.0 they've megred better like ordering, but until lemmy v1 releases I would like to know how I can go back to read things I wasn't finished reading yet, either on this app or alternatives

Thank you!

The new pop up to ask of you really want to go back to the communities list and lose progress is great, but out doesn't prevent or show up in this case.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the picture of a picture post (i.e. zoom the picture without opening the post page).
  2. Edit zoomed picture view (whether by "back button" gesture or by pulling down on the picture).
  3. On about 25% of the time, it will behave correctly and go back to the post list. 75% it will go back "twice" to the communities list, without triggering the prompt and losing place in the scroll.

Environment:

  • Android 16 (GrapheneOS latest)
  • Pixel 8
  • Voyager 2.43.2 from GitHub

cross-posted from: https://piefed.zip/c/piefed_meta/p/960982/do-any-mobile-clients-support-reactions-yet

I'm thrilled about reactions and an glad to see them supported. Several clients specifically mention supporting piefed (Blorp, Summit) - and technically they do, insofar as Piefed's API overlaps with Lemmy's API - but I've encountered none which have yet added support for reactions.

Is anyone out there using a mobile client which does?

Anyone having the issue on iOS where Voyager won’t load your upvotes and downvotes given on your profile page?

I’ve tried it on two different devices and neither are able to see that history.

It works fine for saved, comments, and posts. Just not those two.

I appreciate what the dev is doing, but I would say that we need better testing before the app is pushed onto the App Store. Last two weeks, we’ve had some annoying playback books where videos could not be unmute or scrubbed. And now the bottom five menu icons seem to disappear each time a user to go into the comment posting or post writing screen on iPad.

iPhone the entire interface seems to shrink at random times and then come back.

This is just a post to ask for slower lower quantity higher quality development.

Hello, I was trying to reply to someone the link to a community using the app but I found no easy way to do this. The share button is a link and not the c/community@instance.tld format. Is there a way ? Also my subscribed communities don't seem to always show their instance witch is frustrating tbh. Am I doing something wrong or is this not a feature in the app?

Is this expected behaviour? Is this a setting I touched?
I think it could be a neat feature to turn on or off with a button, but not as default.

Hey, all.

I wanted to ask if anyone else has issues using the video playback controls in the web version of Voyager? I want to scrub to a certain point in the videos, but every time I click or drag the progress bar, it either move the video with my mouse, or it will just show/hide the controls.

Am I just trying to use the same method on the web version that I do for the phone app version, and it doesn't work like that, or am I supposed to be able to use my keyboard? The arrow keys don't work for that either.

Either way, thank you for the time to read this!

Greetings all.

Using voyager for iPhone. In the past , when clicking a media link, controls (play, pause, ff, rwd) all worked as always. Recently, time bar, time elapsed, and time remaining all appear normal, but no actual controls are available. Any help?

11
 
 

When some external source (pictures/videos) fails to load there is no way to view it. It would be nice to be able to long press on an image (or via menu) and view the original link in your web browser. Is there something that I'm missing with current versions of Voyager? Thanks!

I updated to 2.43.7(?) A few days back. I noticed today that when I view any post, the UI ends up zoomed away a little bit. Almost like I'm in app switcher mode. I'll add two examples in a moment.

13
 
 

If the video doesn’t load try this link

On some comms the heart button (for subscribe) shows subscribe but if i open the comm and the “list” it doesn’t show subscribed on that UI.

Wait I realise I posted this from my non piefed alt, sorry if thats confusing but the issue is with my piefed alt.

Also if I click the subscribe button a UI pop up says “subscribed!” but the heart remains unchecked.

And FWIW this behaviour is happening but its showing up in my feed so I am subscribed in the backend.

This is my last effort to find a fix for this before I find a different client to use. So far I have:

• Made sure hide NSFW posts is enabled on the web client
• Made sure hide NSFW posts is enabled in voyager
• Signed out and back in on voyager
• Signed out and back in on web client.

15
 
 

As title says unable to seek in videos after update.

16
 
 

I don't know if they should be.

17
 
 

I don't know whether this is a problem with Android libraries or the app, but it does present a problem as my instance appears to convert submitted images to avif.

18
 
 

I have a small set of non-default settings in Voyager for iOS that I use. Every time the app updates, those settings get flushed and reset back to the defaults.

Not a huge deal, but it’s weird, right? Any suggestions on making my preferred gestures and layout survive app updates?

19
 
 

Some things I have observed since upgrading:

  • Mute controls on videos don't work in fullscreen on iOS
  • When I leave app and come back on iOS sometimes the whole UI shrinks down about 10% and has a border around it
  • Other times I come back to a frozen blank screen and have to restart

Is there a way to downgrade again?

How do I hide NSFW posts from my feed?

21
 
 

I can see i can see other images in communities I follow. But images form @Quokk.au users dont show on the app.

I think this is new as Ive only noticed many blank images showing recently.

22
 
 

I have hide NSFW selected, and I still get tons of NSFW content in my feed. Do I have to block each one individually?

23
 
 

Hi! I got banned for a week. Transparency and adequacy of that decision might be a different story, but it seems that Voyager does not handle this case well. After that week Voyager still failed to display the inbox. You had to delete all userdata of Voyager, otherwiese it was not possible to either sign in or sign out. After deleting the user data and signing in again, everything works as expected.

So, you might check how Voyager acts when the signed in user gets a temporary ban. At least if you don't consider the malfunction a part of the punishment. ;)

24
 
 

Are there any plans to expand Voyager’s capabilities to include features that Piefed has that Lemmy doesn’t? Is there any way to contribute to advancing that sort of effort?

25
 
 

Title says it all. Communities are entirely empty, but I can access posts via searching comments in them.
