Voyager (fka wefwef) now available at m.lemmy.world
Voyager for Lemmy
We've installed Voyager and it's reachable at https://m.lemmy.world, you can browse Lemmy, and login there (also if your account isn't on lemmy.world)
PS Thanks go out to @stux@stux@geddit.social , he came up with the idea (see https://m.geddit.social).
Gotta say, it's weird seeing a iOS interface on an Android device XD, but it feels very smooth and polished, especially for a web app.
Oh, thank god they changed the name.
Voyager is, by far, the best lemmy experience I've tried. Hiding posts is a godsend. And they did all this as a web app?? Impressive!
And they did all this as a web app??
A lot of things that used to require native apps Android/ iOS / Windows / Mac can now be done as a web app which is easy because it means you don't need to compile the code four times.
Does anyone know how the hiding is implemented?
Will they still be hidden if I look at lemmy through my instance directly?
It is not connected to the Lemmy account... I used their URL "vger.app" at first, but then lemmy.world implemented it themselves. When I logged in over that URL, I had to "rehide" the topics.
Sorry, I don't know the specifics.
also if your account isn’t on lemmy.world
To clarify, the login details only go through your server, right?
I'm fairly sure Voyager is a fully client-side app that can use the API from any instance directly no matter where it's hosted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
What a great idea! My favorite app paired with my favorite instance is a match made in heaven! lol. Thanks Ruud!
While I do love the quick innovation and updates of Lemmy, I have to admit that it's a bit confusing and hard to keep up with.
It will start to stabilize eventually, but we're probably not going to see that anytime soon!
Not yet. Mod tools will be coming
It was working great yesterday and earlier today, but now when I am on there it shows me as logged out, and then when I log in it says it's successful, but then shows me as logged out still. They keyboard is also not working when trying to enter my user name, I had to paste it.
There’s ongoing Lemmy.world authentication issues. Should be resolved once Ruud gets online.
I'm having lots of problems too. Even native client apps are giving me trouble. Must be lemmy.world having issues.
Its lemmy.world They updated the version to 0.4.2 today and were getting issues. Join a different instance
Problem is deeplinks such as https://m.lemmy.world/post/1291838 don’t work
They do work but they're structured differently: https://m.lemmy.world/posts/feddit.de/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world/comments/1477069
Edit: Nevermind. Voyager seems to handle their route state in a weird way. Refreshing this while logged in works while the link does not work for third parties.
It works if you're logged out. If logged in, all requests must be proxied through your own instance, and post IDs vary per instance.
In the future, it might not force a redirect and show you content for a logged out/"roaming" state, but not now
So... They don't work?
What is the difference between wefwef and m.lemmy.world?
wefwef is an app, a webapp. Usually reachable under wefwef.app
You can install it as a progressive webapp through your browser.
This now is rehosting the files of wefwef on the m.lemmy.world domain, basically a fork that promises to keep in sync with the official codebase and the official domain. The m.lemmy.world domain shouldn't need any connection to lemmy.world, it is basically not much different to a filehoster that hosts an apps apk. That is why I don't think m.lemmy.world even sees your credentials if you log in anywhere.
As to why, I'm not sure what the use of this is. Maybe in case the official domain goes offline?
That's because when you use wefwef through wefwef.app, your data goes through wefwef.app before going to the instance, the app AFAIK does not communicate directly with the instances yet. You basically have to decide whether you trust wefwef.app enough to proxy your data through them.
Using m.lemmy.world would mean your data goes through lemmy.world directly, which you already chose to trust.
Aaannnnddd I'm back. Was on wefwef but went to Jerboa and then connect. But I think I'll stay at voyager as it's definitely the most polished so far.
Sweet! I've been doing the same for a week or two at https://app.thelemmy.club
I just disabled the "other" login feature so it only works on thelemmy.club
It's nice to see this officially hosted for lemmy.world users. I've been curious about wefwef but there was no way I was going to enter my creds into a third-party proxy. It feels much better to do so via an instance hosted by the world admins where my Lemmy account is though.
FYIW, when you save this as a PWA via Firefox mobile, the name is just "voyager", which I assume makes it hard to distinguish from the voyager instance hosted by its devs. I don't think this can be changed as a user (unless I'm too dumb to figure it out). If the PWA app name can be changed server side, might be good to call it Voyager World or something.
@sunaurus@lemm.ee is this something you’d consider for lemm.ee?
you can log into lemm.ee through this website!
True but my login info would be stored in lemmy.world and not my home instance.
@ruud@lemmy.world, @aeharding@lemmy.world, @stux@geddit.social - Are there any instructions on how to set this up for my own instance? 😁
Should all be here! https://github.com/aeharding/voyager#self-host-docker-deployment
Thank you very much! Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome! Question, I made an account at the beginning of the month on Lemmy.World but I never got the verification email... Is there a way to get it re-sent?
It works for any instance though, not only lemmy.world.
Huh, ok, I tried logging into other instances with that email and they worked but when I came back to lemmy.world it told me I needed a verification email. So there isn't a way to re-send it is there?
Anyone else unable to update to 0.19/0.20? I’m on 0.18.2 and the updates aren’t showing.
I was unable to update from like 0.14.* to 0.18.* or some similar difference of versions, deleting the cookies helped me actually. Might want to try that.
Unfortunately this didn’t work. I can’t use this website until updates are implemented the same way.
For this installation, I think the Admin needs to run the update manually, until he gets around to automating it.
Does it update at the same cadence as the original?
Currently I need to manually update the container but I might install watchtower
Yeah I just installed watchtower and that sorted out the updates
Minor nitpick, but isn't a moderator icon redundant for an admin?
Are you planning on disabling “Other” logins from this? I wouldn’t blame you if you did but at the same time, I’d keep using the vger URL for the purposes of how I’m using it.
As an Android user who got used to MaterialYou the "cold" iOS UI really looks jarring. But it's impressive nonetheless what they accomplished with a web app.
@sunaurus@lemm.ee could we get this, please? It would be so nice!
Updated to .22
@ruud experiencing connection issues
I think this was the ddos attack lemmy.world was experiencing
I seem to be having some luck when I clear website data / cache.
wow nice!!
This is really nice!
Is there a way to change the comment sorting in Voyager? On the desktop and in the old mobile app, I preferred the "Top" sorting for comments (it's annoying that I can't set this as a default, but I'm assuming that'll get fixed in time). But when I go to Voyager, I can't figure out how to change comments away from the default sort. Is it possible to change the comment sort order in Voyager? Is it in a menu I haven't checked yet? Some button I thought did something else?
Best idea ever !
@ruud, any chance we can get voyager updated. Post editing has been added in .20 and it can’t be done in .18.2
Nice work! Really fun to see everything getting better and better!
This is awesome!!!
@ruud what’s the advantage of this than accessing it via Google?
This is awesome :) Thank you!
Just saw this, that's very cool! will be trying it out
Very cool! Given the separation between lemmy's backend and frontend, I'm guessing this is relatively easy to do (?) which means theoretically many instances could have a whole range of frontends built in from which the user could chose as they like?
This is a great idea, Voyager’s mobile experience is super polished.
Long shot, but would it be possible to get Mlmym installed at old.lemmy.world? Would be a fun throwback!
Ohhh... maybe...
old.lemmy.world would be hilarious given that lemmy.world is only one month old
you might aswell go crazy and do LemmyBB too https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB
This would be incredible. I've already been directing other redditors here with a screenshot of the mlmym front end.
Let's be careful with having too many frontends though. Are we sure it underwent proper security audit? Even lemmy-ui hasn't yet and it was a victim of an embarrassing XSS attack.
Wow that’s cool! 🤞for old.Lemmy.world
I wonder when the same happens with a project for new.lemmy.world xD
PLEASE
That’s nice!
Nice idea! Just stole that xd 🤦 Here's old.lemy.lol!
Are there any instances with that front end deployed rn?
https://old.lemmings.world
This would be amazing.
