The issue: Certain website (like wired.com) will limit the number of articles a user is allowed to see before a paywall is forced on the user.

Proposed solutions:

1. Allow the user to clear cookies for a website, resetting the limit. Possibly even introduce a user editable list of websites where cookies are cleared when the site is exited.
2. By default or a list based on website, open links into “private browsing”/“incognito mode”, which should remove persistent cookies.

Additional information: many websites accomplish the paywall through the use of a client side tracking cookie. Removing the cookie resets the counter.

Additional removing cookies helps limit online tracking, keeping the user slightly more private.

Removing cookies does come with some downsides. If the user is logged into the website, removing cookies generally logs them off. Also, any persistent settings will likely be lost. Due to the normal use case of Voyager and Lemmy, this likely won’t be a significant issue.

On iOS: it doesn’t appear cookie data is shared between safari and voyager. Websites visited in Voyager do not show in the cookie list on the safari app.

Anything to add? Is there a setting that does this and I just missed it?

Most days I'll scroll through the All feed and read posts of interest. If I come back an hour or so later and start scrolling again, I'll see the same posts in the same order, even though I've set my Lemmy app Voyager to hide posts automatically if I scroll past them.

Note that I'm not talking about duplicate posts, I'm talking about a repeated series of posts.

Anyone have any ideas on what's causing this?

Is this a PEBCAK issue, or is there something else going on?

Edit: I've got "mark read on scroll" enabled as well as "hide read posts".

This only happens on Voyager. Nowhere else. The keys take longer to register and let go, which results into sticky keys and slow typing as if the keys are actually sticking to my thumbs. I tested everywhere and it doesn’t happen except on Voyager. Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Thanks

So I noticed voyager has an Apple Watch app but it doesn’t seem to show my home feed at all, I was wondering if anyone knew how fix this, or if there is a specific way to set it up.

Thanks in advanced!

i think i know why this is happening: someone has made an assumption about aspect ratios. my phone is tall and narrow, so anything locked to 16:9 will be stretched or have gaps.

I keep trying to upload pics, and I keep getting a message that says “Problem uploading image: Body is disturbed or locked. Please try again.”

Any idea what’s going on?

Since the last update I've noticed that gesture back stops working after a bit. Closing voyager and opening it again makes it work.

Also something slightly odd is happening with scaling where the app seems to take up less screen real estate randomly.

I assumed that would not be the goal of anyone using the fediverse but I'm pretty terminally online and sometimes see posts on [All/New] that make me wonder

Or is that a thing my instance could do?

Using the latest app version (2.44.0) under iOS (26.3.1a), I started to see this proto-app frame before the app’s UI renders. I had to be quick with my screenshots to nab it.

Anyone else seeing this?

Mar 22 2026 update: Solved, thanks to @LemUrun@pawb.social in the comments:

It’s default look of Liquid Glass app. Normally apps are loading too fast for it to be noticeable. I posted about it too, but later realised what it is.

The search results come back in some unknown order.

I would like to at least view the results in new or old date and time order.

I believe that the lemmy web interface allows that in some fashion.

I tried to upload a screen recording to embed in the post which failed.

here is the screen recording on an external file hoster

It doesn’t seem like I’m able to type Japanese at all in voyager when commenting or replying. However, if I start typing in English then go to Japanese, it’s fine, as it only seems to be the first word that does this.

I got an automatic Voyager update from F-droid and now it complains of an out of date Webview version and tells me to update Webview from the Play store. But I don't use the Play store and don't want to enroll an account there. I get all my apps from F-droid. Is there a fix or workaround from this? thanks.

Lemmy's web interface allows this, and it might help make article link posts look better. Particularly with websites that don't co-operate when Lemmy tries to automatically pull a thumbnail.

When on Voyager I'm unable to create new posts/comments, nor can I see my own inbox/profile history. At first I thought I caught a ban, because I can do all of these things on a separate instance account (made at .world for testing) through Voyager. However, after more testing, I'm able to post/comment through Firefox on the original account, so it's not an 'access revoked' issue. Anyone else having this problem? This is the original account, for reference.

I keep getting this behavior randomly, across multiple accounts. This happens when using both lemmy and piefed accounts.

The only work around I've found is to block a community which forces a reload.

Not sure why it is happening, but it's frustrating to keep having to either reload the feed or block and unblock a community.

Appreciate the app, it's awesome, just figured I'd report the issue!

There is an option under settings>filters>looking for language filters, but adding a language does not work. Is there a way to filter out posts in languages I don’t speak?

When I minimise the app and come back, or let my phone sleep and come back, Voyager puts a large blank border around the whole UI and begins behaving strangely. Sometimes it crashes, but most times, buttons and gestures stop working.

This happens when tabbing away or when the phone sleeps.

Not sure if I’m missing a setting or a visual cue, is there a way to identify an edited comment from the front end?

How the bug occurs

• have Voyager open
• receive a text from an app that uses bubbles
• type a reply back in the bubble
• gray screen where keyboard was and pushes the Voyager app up

This didn't use to happen before. Not sure how to fix the issue aside from restarting Voyager every time it happens

Sometimes when browsing the “All” feed, I will come across a post and recognize that I definitely do not want to see posts from its community in the future.

It would be nice if “Block Community” was added as an option from the “more” (…) button in each post of the feed view.

Unless I am missing a simpler way to block a community from the feed view which doesn’t involve navigating to the community feed in question and then choosing “block community” from there…

Blocked users’s comments still show up in my feed, but when I click on the account, it looks like the block is working. This is on piefed.zip.

When I attempt to edit a comment that I already submitted, especially if I'm trying to backspace text, I put the text cursor at the desired part of my comment but if I backspace more than once (i.e. holding the backspace button), the cursor jumps to the very end and starts deleting the end of the comment.

Interestingly this very same glitch would happen to me on the reddit app when I used to use reddit.

Does anyone else get this on Voyager? Is it a known bug?

Edit: I suppose it would be helpful to add, I'm on Android.
