Lately I've been getting more issues with images failing to load. Virtually every image from feddit.org had issue some days, but today I see random posts from mander.xyz and lemmy.world too. I tested it on another app and they load there. I can also open the lost in a browser to see the image.
Other than that the app is really nice, although I hate accidentally backspacing one time too many and restarting my scrolling from the very top of "all" ๐
Did you test another app with exact same instance and login?
Yeah, here's a screenshot using the sync app and another using voyager. Both signed in to [email protected]. I noticed it happening to a load of feddit.org posts, and now I notice this was also a crosspost to master.xyz from there
That image is loading fine for me on feddit.dk with Voyager. So I'm not sure what could be causing the issue you're seeing. Are you on the latest version of voyager.
Yeah I'm on 2.23.2. I also see that feddit.org doesn't even show up when searching for it in the communities. I'll try with a different account on voyager tomorrow to see if it's my app or maybe related to my account
Iโd love to see a floating action button like Thunder has with configurable shortcuts. I love this feature for quick navigation, dismiss all read (not fully hide since a refresh can bring those posts back), etc.
If I accidentally swipe open the communities when browsing my feed, I should be able to swipe out of it back to my feed. Another option would be to have an option to disable swipe to open communities picker.
Wow so many replies with suggestions. Seems like I'm in the minority of people who thinks the app is pretty functional as is and does everything that I expect.
The best way i can put it is that during wefwef days and the early voyager days, I would look out for every update as functionality and polish was getting added. Nowadays, I dont actively look out for updates because the app is already soo polished and functional. I still like the QoL features that are getting added and appreciate them but the app is and will remain great even if development stops today.
Also @[email protected], take breaks and relax - Voyager is great as is
Thanks friend!
Please, PLEASE adjust the UI to prevent accidental touches. On far too many occasions I mis-tap and end up going to the community instead of the post. Or the User's profile instead of collapsing the comment. Drives me nuts! Those links are already in a separate menu; no need for the redundancy. Tapping anywhere on a post should only ever go to the post. Tapping anywhere on a comment should only ever collapse the comment.
Take a page out of Relay for Reddit, where you swipe to the left on a post or comment to bring up a submenu, and that's where your options to upvote/downvote, reply, view the community/user profile, etc. are. (i.e. Remove the 3 dots and put all those options in such a swipeable menu.) The current swipe gestures should be turned into a "slow swipe" gesture so that people still have the option to set their favorite shortcuts to them.
Please, I'm begging you to implement this.
When you maximise an image without going into the thread itself (I.e. tapping the image displayed in the feed), if you press the back button, it exits to your instance list
Would prefer if it only exited out of the maximised image
It shouldn't do that. Are you using the latest version? And PWA or native app?
Okay thats my b
Thanks for the reply <3
I'd like to save drafts and have it connected to the post or comment I'm replying to.
Be able to search my saved comments and post.
Both sound good, although the latter requires lemmy api support I think.
No matter how much I try to convince Android not to, it insists on killing Voyager sometimes when I switch to another app. This happens a lot when I'm trying to find a link to post in a reply, but also basically at random any time I switch to another app and back.
Voyager loses all state and just dumps me in my start page again. This is not fun if I'm replying, to say the least.
Contrariwise, Tusky (Mastodon app) drops me in exactly where I left off.
That sounds really annoying! I don't have those issues on iOS or my android test phones. I'll keep my eye out
I'd love it if deleted posts included a link to the mod log to easily see if it was a case of moderator power tripping or just some asshole commenter.
More mod tools are planned!
Honestly, i just love voyager as it is. I'm still on reddit, but use voyager/lemmy like 4x more by now. So i'm sure there will be great improvement ideas here, I'm here just to thank you ๐ช๐ช
Cheers!!
Thanks for all the work.
You're welcome!
- It'd be great if user tags and vote totals were included in settings export/import. Losing those would mean dropping Lemmy entirely at this point since I prefer to tag rather than block most problem users. Tag import is also critical if we want to write a script to import user tags from other apps like Sync or Boost (since it'd just be converting one JSON schema to another).
- It's a longshot since I'm guessing it'd be incredibly heavy on API calls, but a way to import vote totals from Lemmy's up/downvote history. Voyager's vote tracking is the killer feature that had me drop Boost, but it was weird for the first week or so seeing people I knew I upvote all the time at only +1-3. We can manually set vote totals ourselves so someone could write a script to do most of the work outside of the app (especially if #1 is added), but a native way would be far more convenient.
- An option for long pressing the post thumbnail to show an enlarged preview of said thumbnail. Sync has this, if you needed an example of what I'm thinking of.
- An option to change what clicking on the OP or community in post view does. It's an incredibly minor annoyance, but sometimes on Android I accidentally tap one of them when attempting to open the post.
The tags/votes not backing up is a bug, I'll fix that asap!
