Voyager

Since the recent update I have had a red dot with a number 1 in it on top of my settings icon, as if to indicate a new feature or something. After looking through most of the options, the dot persists. Any ideas as to which menu I need to look into in order to clear the dot?

Is there no place to copy the link of a link post?

I just came across a YouTube video that I wanted to watch on a post but when I clicked on it it opened in the native YouTube app instead of Vanced.

When a user name is very long (above 35 characters), the user tag is not visible anymore. Would it be possible to add an option to move the user tag to the left so it appears in front of the username?

I have "Show User Instance" enabled, btw.

I’ve been using the side loaded Apollo for Reddit, and Voyager comes extremely close to providing exactly the same experience for Lemmy. The one thing that doesn’t seem to be working is swiping right on the bottom nav to go back. If that was added it would be amazing.

Did the open link button get removed on purpose? For all those embedded gifs and images that don't load in Voyager there used the be a chain link icon on the post which would open the post in external browser where the embeds work. Since the most recent update that button is gone and isn't in the ... menu either.

Tried updating the voyager app on Android but I get this error message. Going from 2.24.0 to 2.24.1

Any help is appreciated!

The title text may be a bit confusing, but when a post is ignored or blocked, the current behavior is for all posts to scroll up to fill the empty space. This is against the general flow of scrolling, because then one has to scroll back up to where the original post started.

Can we instead have the posts scroll/fill down, so we can continue to doomscroll without having to go back up?

Hello everyone, so I don't know about you but ever since I started tagging people with many different tags and now my list is getting quite big.

I wish I could search and display certain users based on their tags. As in if I tagged users "🇬🇧" I would like it to be possible to only display users with that specific tag.

Again thank you for imo the best Lemmy app.

Some removed comments are not clearing from the reported comment queue. They show as red (removed) from the community, but they are not clearing from the list.

I’ve tried reloading the app, but the removed comment still remains in the queue.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts in German in the All feed. I love that there's communities on Lemmy that aren't in English. I wish there were some available in my second language. However, I can't read or understand German and seeing posts in German regularly is starting to get a bit annoying.

Is there a setting available anywhere, that I've missed, to filter by language? Or, will I be best just blocking these communities as they come up in the feed?

I use the app in an iPad, a much of the time when I click with my finger on the comments icon, my finger hits the community link.

Anybody else have this problem?

I use the voyager android app, not the pwa.

I’ve been promoting Lemmy for this past week since hearing more about it and seeing it has a great app now. Although the process of actually signing up myself has been a bit of frustrating nightmare lol.

To start, when I originally signed up I must have entered in my email incorrectly. Which usually isn’t a big deal since with most sites you can just sign back up under the correct email. However, because I used the wrong email, the username I created and really liked has become locked out from use. This was really disheartening for me since I was so eager to sign up under a fresh username to start my Lemmy experience off on the right foot. I desperately tried to look for who to contact for how I could fix this issue, but everywhere I looked to report a problem/request help required already having an account.

After accepting the fate of my preferred username being locked out I gave up and decided to just move on under a similar username for signing up. However, this time when I signed up under the right email, I found out that my application was rejected for some reason. This left me very confused since I followed the sign up protocol of typing “Lemmy In” which I thought was a cute way of acknowledging I was a real person that read the rules. Upon looking at some of the other servers though I saw that for some reason they just reject people that just type in “Lemmy In” even though I was prompted to type that???

The unfortunate thing is I don’t even see a way to appeal the rejected application so now the backup username and my email associated with the account both can’t be used on the server. Does anyone have any advice for what to do? I’m sure a good chunk of other potential new users are getting stuck on entry, that are eager to join Lemmy, but running into similar issues.

TL;DR: It’s taken me a whole week just to make an account, and I can’t have my top two names or use my preferred email for the account.

Hi everyone!

2025 is here, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Voyager for Lemmy.

• What features would you like to see added to Voyager in 2025?
• Are there any bugs or issues that are bothering you?

When trying to add an account on a new server, app makes me create an account on that server instead is asking me if I have an existing account.

How can I login on a new server?

I found an old (more than a year) post where someone had issues with filtered keywords being reset. At the time it didn’t seem reproducible.

On iPhone, running iOS 18.2.1, it consistently clears the filtered list if I quit the app from the app switcher. Community and user blocks are unaffected.

I’m unsure if this is a new issue or not as I haven’t used a keyword filter until now.

Currently, selecting a block of text, then applying list formatting (either ordered or unordered) replaces the text with an empty list. Starting a list, then pasting text, puts all of the text under the current entry in the list.

Ideally, it would apply the list formatting to existing text based on line breaks, and respect line breaks in pasted text to extend an existing list.

On iOS, not sure if this applies on android/web app.

On IOs, If I were to, for example, remove a comment for “misinformation,” when the word is typed out and autocomplete is used, submitting the action via the remove button doesn’t work. Essentially, pressing it does nothing at all. My theory is that It could have to do with the additional space that autocomplete creates, but even backspacing doesn’t correct the issue.

The only way to resolve this is to start over, and manually type out the entire word or phrase without using autocomplete or autocorrect.

Not a huge issue, but I don’t know if this causes other problems elsewhere.

(Admittedly, I know nothing at all about coding… including if that’s even the correct term for it)

Eternity:

That’s how great an app Voyager is and wanting to share Lemmy with people! Kinda blew my mind

So thanks devs for adding the share as image option! Beautiful work 😄

For instance, it would be cool if there were a way to have dark mode for one account, and have voyager auto-swap to a different theme when switching to a different account. Or even just have different theme colors per account.

Hi all 🙂

I just wanted to check if this was happening for anyone else before I raise an issue on Github.

I've noticed for a while that Hexbear's emojis were huge, but just assumed that it was some of the random nonsense that they like to do, but then the admin of my instance posted some emojis and confirmed that they should be regular emoji sized.

The thread is here for context:

!https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16069969

Can someone let me know what size the emojis are for them please? I'm on Android 🙂

EDIT: aeharding, the Voyager developer, has said that they're working on a fix. Thank you for all the replies 🙂

A few Reddit apps did this back in the day and it was very convenient. If there were a link to Reddit posted anywhere, selecting it would open the app instead of the webpage.

(Really hope I’m explaining this correctly. I’m not family with the terminology I’m probably needing here)

Is this going to be a thing, or… could it be a thing?

EDIT: This is for iOS by the way.

A Fediverse Alternative to TikTok

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?
