Voyager

iOS User here

Noticed yesterday that using the “Share” function is generating an intermediary vger.to link that encourages the viewer to download the Voyager app.

That link shows the text from a post, but other content like Video is missing.

Lemmy is already plenty readable from a browser. If I want send someone a link to something, I now have extra steps to copy and paste the URL. Defeats the point of the share button, doesn’t it?

I’d expect this behavior from corpo social media like Facebook or Reddit, it’s a bit disappointing to be seeing it from what is otherwise my favorite Fediverse app.

Is there any justification for this behavior that I’m not considering?

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26.2. When looking at a post if I sleep my phone and unlock it, the Voyager window will look shrunken, not filling the screen. The top bar remains the same. Force quitting and reopening resolves the issue.

I’ve held off posting about this for a while since I assume it’s known or being worked on but it’s been long enough. Any time I block a community in a feed it jumps back up the feed by a significant amount and even unloads previously loaded post. As opposed to handling it like Mlem, for example, which just removes the relevant post you used to block the comm and keeps you in the same position. Also Voyager has been crashing a good amount for me lately but hopefully a cache clear will fix this.

I was super excited to see that Voyager added experimental support for Piefed. I went a created an account on feddit.online, and tried to log in… and got a connection error. No worries, it’s experimental. That was like 5 months ago and it’s still happening and I’m starting to suspect it’s not going to get better on its own. I use a password manager, and it’s saying “connection error” so I feel like it’s probably not bad credentials? Did I choose a bad instance or is this client-side?

Hopefully I’m just doing something wrong but I still see comments from users I have blocked on Voyager. Is this a known bug?

If I close the browser and later go back it throws up the little update flag even though I am on the version the update is offering.

Lemmy seems to be overrun by post and ditch throwaway accounts right now posting controversial or divisive content. Because these accounts are created, post, and self delete their accounts and repeat you can't simply just block these users. This is happening on multiple instances and communities too so you also can't just filter out the offending instance.

Please add a filter for content posted by new accounts. Lemmy already has a New Account Highlightenator feature, which is helpful (tho sometimes the baby face tag gets pushed off screen if the username is long when Always Show Author is turned on), but I'd like to just not see anything from these accounts. Not a perfect solution, but could be helpful.

Edit: Looks like the bot people don't like this idea since it's already being downvoted by accounts that no longer exist.

Edit 2: Just watching them come in. Up to 8 now and not one of these accounts exist any longer. Just proving my point that they really don't want to be filtered out.

sh.itjust.works seems fine in a web browser, but it doesnt load for me on Voyager. Am I the only one with this problem?

So, I joined Lemmy.world as it was the biggest instance.

Is there a way that does not include creating another two or three basically pointless accounts to view other instances in the "local" view.

For example: Say that I am Canadian, (I am not, but it works for this example) and I joined the lemmy.ca, but I also want to see what goes on at sh.itjust.works without having to subscribe to every single community in both.

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

As title says unable to seek in videos after update.

I don't know if they should be.
