Every now and then I want to download some video I see in Lemmy to share with my friends but I click in download video but it seems to not work. Is it possible to download videos using Voyager?

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I haven’t been able to find an answer.

If you are browsing (all, local…) and go to your subscribed communities, is there a way to resume where you were or is it always a refresh?

Edit: iOS mobile to be specificish

The app hardly ever keeps my place in the feed when I exit it and come back to it after a while, and then I'd go hunting for where I was. My phone has 16GB of RAM, so that's plenty.

Basically, when the app crashes while commenting, it recovers the text you had written out.. but then dumps you back to the main feed with that just in your clipboard, waiting for you to comment on the next post and go “oh yeah, crap” because you can’t find the post and go back to browsing.

When hide read posts is functioning as intended (which it hasn’t been for a while and may be related to version..? Idk how it works, and that’s not the point of this anyway), you shouldn’t even be able to find the post you would have replied to, and unless it’s from a community you follow, you’ll never find it again.

Maybe this is too much to ask; I’m not a programmer so I don’t know what I’m asking, but it would be super great when the app crashes to not only preserve the text, but maybe provide a link back to the post it was being made under (not necessarily the exact comment, but the parent post would help a ton). I’ve just sort of given up on long comments I spent a lot of time formatting because the app crashed and I couldn’t find the post I was replying to. And that’s really frustrating.

As it stands, If I want to view a post in the browser, I can use the ‘Copy’ option which gives me the comment or post’s URL and have to manually launch the browser, paste, and go.

So not the end of the world or anything, but a little annoying on the rare occasions I want to use it.

For some communities, I cannot see some recent posts.
I find them in Local or All tab but when I click on the community, it disappears. Sometimes, I miss weeks of posts! I removed all blocked communities and instances just in case.

Is this a known issue?

Edit: I also checked the Mark read/Hide setting. Everything was unchecked and I tried disabling hiding in communities with no success.

Edit 2: Fixed! There is setting on the web interface to "Show read posts", I left it unchecked.

Do I get a special avatar, emoji, flair, or something unique to each tip?

Most of the time I only use Lemmy thru this app, so I desperately need the ability to read, process reports and ban users in-app. I have missed some critical reports for days because of lack of the feature.

Hello. I'm having a problem where i get this error everywhere when using LemmyNSFW. Any idea why this is and how to fix it?

Hide read posts is not working. I’ve setup like on the picture, posts are not hidden after refresh nor after app restart. I’ve disabled hiding of posts in Lemmy UI

With the release of iOS 18, I was curious if there was any progress on optimizing the app icon for the various icon mode, specifically dark and tinted, as right now, when I use either one, it sticks out like the sore thumb. It either looks out of place, or it just has a color overlay and it really doesn’t look very good

I'm having trouble opening the post-comments on image- and link-posts with single-line headlines. The clickable area for the headline is so small that I keep opening the community or the link/image by mistake. Trying to open the post-comments via the comment icon below the link/image often leads to an involuntary downvote because of the even smaller clickable area around the comment icon.

I would suggest to add a swipe action that can be configured to open the post-comments. That way, the layout can stay as is and people with clumsy thumbs like me have an alternative option to open post-comments.

Thanks for an otherwise perfect app. This is literally the only issue I have with it. Cheers!

It could be placed under activism category.

I really enjoy visiting this instance from Voyager and I would really appreciate it if I could more easily sign in from the app.

Thank you for your hard work aeharding@vger.social!

Hi there.

I love this app to bits, but recently have stumbled upon a weird issue I cannot seem to resolve. Normally I use the Swift keyboard app from Microsoft but for whatever reason, only when writing a comment to someone, it doesn't work as expected. For instance I cannot use backspace to correct my writing and autocorrect gets disabled.

Ive tried to switch to googles keyboard app and the same thing happens there. This strictly only happens in comments as far as I've noticed, and not when writing this. Also only an issue here in Voyager app, nowhere else.

Has anyone stumbled upon this issue? Is it known?

Update; Created a bug-report on the matter for those interested. https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1602

Hey all,

I upgraded to iOS 18 yesterday, so wondering if this is possibly due to that or something on the Voyager app’s side.

I’ve noticed today that if I’m on my profile’s page, or viewing a specific post, or browsing a specific community, and then I leave the Voyager app for a time to go to another app or the iPhone’s “desktop” and then come back to Voyager, Voyager will do a refresh and then go to the main page, which I have set to show All. It also refreshes the All feed whereas before it would stay where I left it when browsing All.

Is this a new update or did iOS 18 implement something that is causing this? Anything that can be done to not allow this to happen?

Thank you!

It always brings happiness when I see a Voyager update. Thanks @aeharding@vger.social for continuing to work on the app. Couldn’t imagine Lemmy without it.

Not sure if it’s a free feature or an easy idea to deploy but it would be nice to have the ability to translate a post to my language

Thanks

Once awhile the post size setting kept resetting to large. I’m going to guess that every time the app updates, but can’t confirm that.

Not a big deal, but quite annoying. I prefer to have compact post size.

Is it possible to improve the alt/accessibility text editor in the image post composer? I don’t know if the Lemmy spec supports it, but a multiline text editor would be great if so.

On that note, is it possible to preview the alt/accessibility text? I also don’t see where to view it on a live post.

Thanks!

Pretty much the title. Some of us want to reduce the amount of time we spend browsing NSFW communities, but as it stands it's too easy to just turn the slider off.

I'm requesting an improvement in the options where you can make the slider permanently locked upon user request (similar to what Infinity for Reddit app has done).

Thanks.

Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it.

I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search:

Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works.

For that reason, I would love to see all communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option.

Steps to reproduce

1. make new instance
2. add user
3. connect with voyager
4. type anything in the search bar
5. find nothing

Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo.

Suggested behavior

1. You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option
2. click it
3. see all communities with the content you searched for
4. hit subscribe
5. get content

I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow).

Thanks for reading and have a good one.

It would be nice if it could be disabled, or set to a longer swipe like with in the main one. I can't even remember which community I last unsubbed from accident, just because a scroll was too diagonal for the app.
