Punch nazis, trebuchet TERFs.

I am building Voyager, a client for lemmy!

  • Yeah, the random communities feature is semi-broken with lemmy v0.x - the workaround I'm using is flakey. In lemmy v1 it should be much improved :)

  • Its swipe to go back or the hardware back button. The in app back button on the top left won't have the confirm. It probably should, but I'll need to figure out a good way to handle that too if people want it.

  • You can always add a “Don’t ask again” checkbox on the popup for the people who don’t need it.

    I like that idea. Thanks :)

  • On Android the back button/back gesture is a single event, and its easy to intercept. On iOS the swipe gesture is part of the transition animation, so there's not really a good place to intercept and ask the user.

    Also, you can only swipe back at certain times after other app animations/transitions have completed, so it's less of a problem on iOS.

  • Thanks! And same, it's never been an issue for me personally.

  • Awesome, I’m glad it helped!

    I’m not sure about that image upload bug, weird…

  • Ok, let me know if it comes back!

  • I added a setting (on by default) that will pop up an alert to confirm going back to communities list. You can try it on the beta release, let me know if you try it out, what you think!

  • any way to add an option to save your reading place in the feed by default and just a pull down to refresh?

    Yes, if you turn on auto hide read posts it will remember your place. You can also temporarily unhide by long pressing the hide read posts button.

    Also I added another option, on by default, to confirm going back to communities list from home/all/local. It's in beta if you want to try it out!

  • Basically a popup if you try to press back from the home/all/local feed, to confirm you want to go back to the communities list.

    I have implemented it in beta so lmk what you think! There is a setting at the bottom of general to turn on/off (on by default).

  • Can you try the latest beta and let me know if it still happens?

  • Interesting.. do you know how to try the beta? If I push a potential fix can you try to see if it fixes it with certainty after a couple days?

  • Can you do a screen recording?

  • What if there was a setting that would make a toast message come up “swipe again to close feed”?

    It would only activate/apply if the thing to swipe to is the communities list.

    I’d have to do some testing but that wouldn’t be that hard to implement.

  • No logs for something like this.

  • If the app thinks the app button is being pressed twice, then the app would just close instead of going to the communities list, so that wouldn't solve the problem. I need to get the the root of the problem with a reproduction in order to fix it.

  • Randomly? Or after you do a specific thing? If you could take a video and let me know device specs that would be very helpful!

  • I’ve heard of the double back bug (from a post it goes back to the communities list in one swipe) but I’ve never been able replicate it myself.

    It anyone has good replication steps please lmk!

  • Ah, that’s probably because Voyager has to merge requests for posts and comments and it’s a bit fragile. Lemmy v1 should solve that since it gets combined!
