Voyager

You can see a post with comments on my feed.

When i now open the post, i see no comments. I have no word blocks nor are the users/instances blocked. I can see the comments on my instances webview (feddit.org).

Does anybody have any hints as to why this is happening?

Using an old phone with android 7, voyager runs great. But recently I've noticed an error saying the app is limited and I should update system webview.

On clicking the link to the app store, I only see a button to remove updates, which makes me think I'm on the most recent version for this Android.

Even so, I still get the red icon at the bottom bothering me. It's purely anesthetics, but I'd appreciate some way to remove the warning.

And yes, I understand this is a very old phone, but if the app works someone is going to use it :P

( If this post is against the rules please feel free to remove and accept my apologies.)

I just wanted to say thanks to the devs and the users who continue to make this ever adapting app and community great especially in light if the tesseract shitstorm.

I was a Reddit users first 10+ years and watched it grow and eventually decay ( Aaron Schwarz death I personally felt was the big beginning of the cracks along with r/jailbait amongst other shitty subs)

This app has helped me get off of the algorithm ride of dopamine and instant gratification I didn’t even know I was actively a part of I had left Facebook ages ago along with instagram and never got involved with TikTok.

Yes, lemmy isn’t perfect but what it strives and continues to do remind me of the old excitement I felt loading up Netscape navigator and old forums and discovers niche content. Yes I know it’s not as big as the others but to me it’s a breath of much needed fresh air and have talked with people who i agreed with, debated with and changed my perspective on things I do in my everyday life. From lowering my own footprint for the environment and even completely jumping into Linux on both my main Computers.

I just wanted to say thanks to you all for giving this lone user a little hope in the darkness of the the current events and looking towards what more I can do to help.

Keep up the good work people from the devs to the posters to the lurkers I really think we are on to to something that’s already making a big difference even if it’s a ripple in the ocean I can only see us growing in a good way and thank you for all your hard work

Cheers 🍻

Is there an easier way to block a user directly with the … menu on their username in a post versus clicking on their profile, then clicking block?

I tapped on one of them and I got error after error not being able to resolve the url or something, it was very fast and I couldn't read the message. I had to restart the phone because I was unable to close the app, it kept bringing it back on even after putting the phone in airplane mode.

Since some time ago, like a week, I’ve been experiencing that the home feed only has a few posts and sometimes it is empty and shows the message to subscribe to communities.

I checked going directly to the instance web page on the browser and it shows my home feed full.

iOS: 26.5.2 Voyager: 2.47.4

I was trying to leave my current Android app but it didn't show on there for me just now.

I just popped out to grab an image for a post, then realized I didn't have a photo app, then went to the play store to download Ente, then decided I should just download an image directly.... by the time I got back, Voyager had been closed and the draft was (apparently?) lost.

Any idea of how to prevent this from happening in the future?

And where is the draft supposedly saved?

Hi, I'm an ungraceful walrus who keeps fat fingering the menu at the bottom of my screen and interrupting what I'm reading and would love an option to have it be moved to the top thanks.

Pic is what I see instead of the post I'm trying to read when I fatfinger it.

@aeharding@vger.social
I'm not one to ping people often, just trying to point out an issue concerning piefed.
I know it's on me for only using one threadiverse account. Still, voyager is my daily use app and I miss it dearly.

I had an exchange with some asshole about what belongs on a forum. Turns out the asshole was the mod, but I didn't know that until I logged onto the web.

Are there plans to include those tags in Voyager?

Is it possible to add dyslexia font support to the app? It would make posts much easier to read for me.

Never seen it on any of my comments before.

I use two dashes to represent an em-dash; it should be treated as an unbreakable unit.

For example, the community "avid" comes right after "anime" but before "antisocialmedia@piefed.com"

At first I thought it might be unable to display mods across instances, but then for some communities mods from other instances do display just fine.

Image 1: Voyager shows comm has no mods
Image 2: Same comm in web interface shows there is a mod
Image 3: Voyager shows a comm with cross-instance mods

I noticed the Comment count and Post count on my piefed.zip account page in Voyager both show 0 when they shouldn't. The same problem occurs with piefed.social but not lemmy.zip so it seems to be a problem between Voyager and Piefed.

This is on both iOS app 2.47.0 and 2.47.2, and web (vger.app) 2.47.2. I also have a device running iOS app version 2.46.0 which doesn't have the problem.

Updated the app yesterday (from github using obtainium) and today I have very slow load times on every post I tap.

When I search for a post the default search filter [the green circle in the attached image] is set to "top post all time". Then I usually click to "new".

But as a lazy user I want that the filter to be set as "new" as the default search filter.

Hi all! Usually I don't make a dedicated post, but v2.47.0 of Voyager has a lot of goodies, so I thought I'd let everyone know here. I'm especially looking for users to test Voyager's new rich text editor! Please provide your feedback in the comments ^^

Update: There have been reported Android issues that should be fixed in v2.47.1, iOS should be fine!

Rich text editor

Off by default (Turn it on in General Settings -> Other). Markdown content will receive formatting live as you type! The only limitation (due to browser APIs) is undo on ios doesn't work.

Lemmy v1 support

It's experimental but should be fully supported! Let me know of any issues!

Post tags

On lemmy v1 and Piefed Voyager now supports post tags! Currently you can't filter, but that will be coming.

New comments highlightifier

This feature works best on lemmy v1, actively highlighting new comments. Only lemmy v0 it only shows you "X new comments" - but doesn't have the data to tell you what comments are new. On piefed this feature is not yet supported!

Thanks and I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

I'm new to Voyager and I keep replying to comments with the Reply to POST button instead of using the comment hamburger. If it's an original reply to my post, it's the only comment on the screen.

Not sure what to suggest, but there has to be a better way.

I'd even consider it sensical to entirely get rid of that big reply button, since it's very unlikely you are in this particular place (clicked the comment in the inbox) to make a new original comment to the post.

I reply to a comment.

Later, I want to see other discussion around the comment--who else replied, what they said, etc.

As far as I can tell, there is no easy way to do this. If I See Parent Comment, or whatever, it keeps me locked into that chain of replies and I cannot see anybody elses replies unless they are beneath my comment.

My only options are: 1-View all comments and find the original comment there. 2-Go to the user's profile and find the comment, click on it, be brought back to thread at that comment (this is what I'd like to do with a single click).

This used to be a feature on a reddit (maybe it was called "go to comment"), but disappeared in the enshittifification.

Edit: Clarification:

What I want to see:

Comment A
= A Reply to Comment A
= = Reply to reply to comment A
= My Reply to Comment A
= = Reply to My Comment
= Yet Another Reply to Comment A

Right now, the best I can easily do is:

Comment A
= My Comment
= =Reply to My Comment

I’ve tried clicking subscribe on it so that way it would become a subscribed community, but I can’t unsubscribe from it. And there’s no way to remove that community from my list.

It’s been stuck in that list for weeks. When I click on.” Home” Which would show posts from subscriptions, post from that community show up. Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of that community out of my subscribed list?

Anyone else got this problem? Session expires and I have to log in again every few hours.

My cell phone is my daily driver and I'm a pretty extensive user of an external keyboard.

One thing that would make a big difference to my UX is being able to page down with the tap of the spacebar (if I'm not editing text).
