I really like this update.

It's in settings> appearance

Thanks for your great work

I have recently updated my android app to Version 2.10.0. I have noticed my upvotes are now blue instead of purple like they were previously. I have not changed my theme.

Is there a setting I have perhaps missed? I appreciate any assistance.

Voyager Version: 2.9.1 (just updated and retested)

Also tried turning silent off on the iPhone 14 Pro just in case

PS: aeharding, you the bomb 💙

Edit: I mean to say I can’t use a control on the video to open the video URL in a browser. I was able to use Voyager’s feature to open the specific comment in a browser window though, and there (in Safari) it played with sound and some native iOS controls when I tapped on it.

On the toolbar, there's a magnifying glass icon that I'm calling search.

I enter the search page by clicking on that icon.

On the search page, there are a number of communities, and at the bottom, there's a Random Community button.

When I click on Random Community, I am sent to !100yearsago@sh.itjust.works

So far so good.

When I backswipe to go back to the search page, and click on Random Community again, I get a yellow error dialog saying "Failed to find random community"

No choice but to go back to the search page.

Random Community again returns me to 100yearsago

Back and Random Community gives me the yellow "Failed to find random community" dialog.

Ad infinitum

Edit: I am using Android v2.9.1

Hi -

I can post topics, but I can not respond to any topics, not even my own. I have logged out / in, deleted and reinstalled, etc... no joy. Any thoughts? Sorry if I don't reply, I can't!

Voyager on iPhone 13 Pro IOS 17.5

I have many communities blocked and yet posts from those communities will show up if crossposted to communities I don’t have blocked.

Can this be fixed so they don’t show?

Can we get a scrollbar for the community quick search? I just posted one I didn't really intend to because I thought I was hallucinating the other one. But stupid me should just have scrolled down to find it. Is it possible to get some kind of indicator to see that there are more available?

I'm on the Android app on Android 13.

I’m often curious what has happened but not frequently enough to know offhand how to get to the modlog or filter it to find the post in question.

Having a direct link here would be awesome but I’m not sure how feasible it would be, if at all…

I really like the “The Final Frontier” Logo. Now I switched from the iOS App to my personal hosted Voyager Instanz.

Now I use the PWA Web App. Can I switch the default logo to the final frontier logo by using an environment in the docker container or something else?

Great app and glad I found you! Seems like so many apps show up with a bang and just as quickly disappear.

I created an app icon that I thought might be a good addition. Let me know if need other resolutions.

So, apparently for no reason, my Voyager app started crashing this morning whenever I touched any of the replies to my comments.

I tried with and without VPN, custom DNS, automatic DNS, Rethink enabled and disabled, and it just keeps crashing.

Yes, I cleared data, un-installed and reinstalled, and it is still happening.

Anyone else having this issue? I thought I'd ask here first before opening a bug report on Github.

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm on version 2.8.0 from Github.

Edit 2: Available version from F-Droid, 2.6.0, does not preset this issue.

Edit 3: Finally got to reporting it. Sorry for the delay.

I’d love a faster way to switch the post size without going to Settings > Appearance > Post Size.

Maybe consider adding a shortcut to the meatball menu on the Posts tab?

Thanks!

Currently there is a lot of functionality that in theory does not require an account, although Voyager still prompts you to create one.

Whilst I now have one, I initially intended not to.

Either way, there are a good amount of features that could be adjusted to fit guest / offline accounts, including:

• Changing the guest instance
• Allow saving posts locally as guest (not synced, ofc)
• Allow changing subscriptions as guest (there's already some in guest view anyways, I figured being able to change them would be nice)

It'd be cool to have an option where after you read an article and navigated back to the subreddit view, you could swipe forward and go back to the article you just swiped back from.

The need to do this for me is far greater than I am willing to admit beyond the implicit and inescapable inference this post demands lol

There are several common words and terms I would like to stop seeing posts about but only in specific communities. Having the words or terms blocked in other communities or global matches too many things.

It would also be nice for the filter to be Title, URL or body specific.

Is there any way to block whole servers? For example german servers, like feddit.de

Thanks!

Hello,

I've been using Voyager (iOS) for a while and it seems to be the only app still moving forward. The only feature I miss from other similar apps is being able to go back/forward by swiping on the bottom bar. Is this something we could get on Voyager too?

I’m quite regularly getting a soft crash after using the app for a while. I’m not sure if it’s related to number of posts opened, or just time, but eventually tapping on a post to either read the link or comments will cause the entire list of posts to be reloaded, as if I’d gone back to the all / subscribed / local screen and selected something from there.

Hello,

I have seen mentioned in some comments that this app has kbin support. Is that true?

I can see kbin posts through federation. But I am not able to add a kbin instance through the app or log into one.

I would love to see that happening!

Thank you!

Regards,

Would it be possible to enable Picture-in-Picture for videos opened in the Voyager app browser? Currently, one needs to open the page in Safari in order to do so, which is a bit of an unnecessary step.

I have it as my default icon and I could have sworn it wasn’t as colorful before? I absolutely love the stars and the reflection in the helmet. Maybe I just haven’t been paying enough attention but it looks even better than I remember!

My main use case would be links to youtube which trigger the (uninstallable) yt app which instantly plays ads. I'd like to use NewPipe instead, for whixh I need tge link url.

There's so much spam, and people diligently downvote. But the posts are still shown, with -53 votes or something.

When a post is clearly unwanted, could it be hidden?

I found this interesting. Was searching to see if there’s a community where people discuss mod abuse like what used to be on Reddit- and when doing so, the word “mod” alone, is not allowed to be searched.

Voyager 2.3.1 on Android. I visit a community and select "hide read posts" and those posts disappear a they should. But there is no apparent way to undo this. The pulldown still has "hide read posts" instead of "unhide" them.

Is there a way to specify where photos are saved? I don't see an option in the settings menu and it seems to be defaulted to (Android) Internal/Pictures/

I have previously used spacebar to scroll pages of posts and ESC to exit a post view and these generally worked on my Mac, but it seems to be disabled with the latest update.

Can this functionality be restored?

Title pretty much says it all.

When sorting by hot, I get posts with 1 upvote and no comments near the top. And it is above a post from the same community (nieuws) that has 2 upvotes. Seems to be broken.

For some reason (I’m suspecting after an app update?), sometimes I open the Voyager iOS app and all of my settings have reset. I browse in compact, so I know right away something is off because the post images are huge. I did visit vger.app inside the app browser inside Voyager app, maybe that did it?

iOS app. Latest version (2.3.1).

When viewing a video from in a post if you swipe the playback position (attempting to skip forward), the app freaks out. It appears to be attempting to both interact with the video controls and swipe to the previous screen at the same time. At this point, both windows are active. The “back button no longer works. If I pick a different tab, nothing loads. I have to force close the app and reopen it.

In the screen recording, at 5s in I attempt to swipe on the video control. At that point most taps on the screen just move the split between the two windows. Moving the split fully does not resolve anything.

I tried blocking kbin.social because spammers are posting a lot of junk there but I couldn't find it while searching in "Add instance" search popup.

is it because it's not a lemmy instance?

It would be nice if we could.

I don’t know if this would be anyhow useful for anyone else or easily implementable, but..

Categorized “Saved” list, like:

• posts
• links
• media or photos, music, videos
• comments

Maybe as a quickly switchable categories on top or just a full next sub-menu?

Another great thing would be a sorting option for the list of saved things, like:

• by posted date
• by saved date
• A-Z / Z-A

To make the backtracking easier and faster?

Apologies, not sure if the option is available. Can we have the option of exporting voyager settings to a local file and restore it when needed?

Voyager updates have been failing lately and the only way to update it is to remove the app, download the APK, reinstall it, then amend settings again.

I was wondering if you could add alternate icon support for the Android version, so it can be themed properly.

Obviously this is purely cosmetic, but it would be a very nice addition

Update for future readers: the functionality actually already exists, choose one of the themed icons for voyager from the list.

I like browsing through the "all" to discover new community and topics I'm unaware off. I used to do it also on Reddit. There, whenever I would subscribe to a community, I'd filter it out of the all view. Here I'm using block, but this would block the sub also from my home view. So, is ther a way to filter out the communities I'm already following?

Add a green version of the Dracula theme and call it Frankenstein

I searched and found a post on the issue from months ago, but it seems to not have gotten attention from the devs.

It's really annoying to open an image, try to share it somewhere else, see the share sheet showing the image's information.. Just to have the link to it shared instead of the actual image.

Can there be a setting to choose which behavior you want to have for this, please? I imagine thare are people who'd rather share the links, but I think it's a good compromise to have a setting for it.
