i think i know why this is happening: someone has made an assumption about aspect ratios. my phone is tall and narrow, so anything locked to 16:9 will be stretched or have gaps.

For some reason i had to choose android mode and that fixed the issues with the app rendering area being too small. It was set to iphone mode for some reason... Check you settings.

I believe this is the same bug, it has been around for a long time now

This is in Appearance/Themes, right? It was already set to Android for me, I switched to Apple, reloaded, switched back, didn't help.

Yes, so seems it's another bug then

Thanks, that fixed it for me! Been annoyed at it randomly shrinking for a while lol.

Took a sec to find that it was under theme settings tho

When starting out with the fediverse I liked voyager better, but over time I felt like it actually reduced in quality and stability. I've fully switched to thunder by now and must say it's considerably better.

good for you? i'm just reporting an issue in a place where the dev is active.

I'm a bit jaded since I donated regularly to the development of voyager - as one should - and instead of improving it got worse.
