It is planned but it probably will take a while to implement since lemmy doesn't support webpush api. Without web push their are only two ways to check for notifications (both aren't elegant):
-
Poll the lemmy api for new messages (say every min). This would be bandwith intensive for both voyager servers and your lemmy instance (Memmy does this and currently for 800 users 3gb of bandwith is used per day). Even if voyager is able to scale there servers to handle bandwith lemmy instances could impose rate limits which would prevent notifications from coming through.
-
Set up a weird janky system to intercept emails sent from lemmy instance to trigger a voyager server to ask the api if there are any new messages (would reduce poll rate but would be super clunky to setup).
Web push api could solve this issue since instead of voyager having to ask lemmy if their are new messages web push allows the opposite to happen (lemmy telling voyager a new message has arived).
Don't quote me on this (I could be horribly wrong). Voyager doesn't seem to use cookies rather it relies on Index db and local storage. Local storage stores your credentials for your accounts (jwt tokens), and index db stores your preferences. If DDG only is preserving cookies and wiping the local storage and index db (again I haven't tested DDG) then that would give a possible explanation on why you are getting logged out and potentially why any settings are getting reverted.
Edit article explaning difference between storage types:
Edit 2 It looks like ddg is clearing data and only preserving first party cookies (which isn't used for voyager):

Currently voyager cannot do this (It doesn't have any background refresh capabilities). Down the line it might be able to when push notification feature is implemented (and you enable it).
Ah missed that thanks for linking it 👍
Would it be possible to customize voyagers gestures (example change reply and hide when swiping left with upvote and save, etc).
Ah sorry about load I’m relying on catbox.moe due to fhmy having issue with bulging uploader (Imgur is an alternative but on mobile it redirects to ad filled site 😔).
Sorry was working on writing the comment 😪
Main issue is when you embed image in body with no other text and attach an image a render bug shows up

Thanks for the suggestion for catbox.moe. Initially I was using imgur due apple shortcuts integration and api for tasker. However after trying out catbox.moe I relized their api is FAR more simpler than imgur to use (no junk json). Also unlike imgur it doesn't redirect to an ad filled site on mobile 🙂
Noticed json issues when uploading images recently. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:
-
Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don't mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.
-
No chapter support
Podcast republic is a good alternative (assuming your just planning to use it on mobile/web)
Won't it not be different since all browsers on iOS (chrome, firefox, brave, etc) are forced to use WebKit unlike Android?
In the case of this instance (lemmy.fmhy.ml) it appears to be self funded by the admins
Q: Can I donate?
A: We appreciate that people want to support us, but we never have and never will accept donations. We maintain this project because its fun and we want to help others, not make money.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/comments/xrxen7/faq_support_thread/
However currently for others instances donations seem to be the primary method of funding (beehaw has a nice cost breakdown)

Spotify since I use ios and android. I also prefer there algorithm more and integrations (discord, samsung watch, etc).
Hi guys quick question after installing voyager pwa what does voyagers server do (aside from notifiying new updates)?
Curious if its possible to use github pages to static host voyager
Lemmy is actually interesting as there could be four implementations (or five if you consider none).
- Standard instant push notifications (you get them in app and out of app)
- Push notifications only while app is open in forground (example lemmy web ui only has notifications when tab is open)
- Polled notifications (notifications that occur after preset interval).
- A combination of the above three (ex: polled notifications in background push in forground)
- No notifcations at all
Just some thoughts
Whats wrong with having an option? I'm not saying it should be manditory 😉
^This
Additionally some times I just open lemmy (and Reddit in the past). To check inbox. Push notifications disables that need (no notifications = conversation hasn’t progressed much = no need to open app 😉).
Out of curiosity will sync for lemmy have push notifications?
Was on Memmy's discord and found an intersting problem with push notifications. Currently lemmy doesn't have any way to send push notifiations (via api or webhooks). In Memmy's case the dev is relying on frequent polling (say one request per min). A problem with this though is its increadibly bandwith intensive. For just 800 users there is 3gb of bandwith used for memmy's polled notifications. If scaled to sync would mean 30 terabytes of bandwith daily (based this communities 10,000 user subscribers at a poll rate of one request a min).
I love wefwef/voyager. This might not be a normal feature people use but I love wefwef's deep linking feature (on android). I have a push notification system for lemmy which detects incomming emails from lemmy and uses ntfy to send reddit sync like push notifications. In wefwefs case I can set ntfy to open voyagers inbox directly. Voyager is also nice since opening a unread message (or interacting with it) auto marks it as read (which I don't believe other clients do for some reason, I could be wrong though).
Hi guys does anyone know if voyager is suceptible to the XSS Attack on lemmy.world?

Would it be possible to add deeplinks to launch certain parts of the app.
For example using liftoff://inbox
to open the inbox in liftoff directly, or comments.

If faced or pwa is installed no issue but first time visit issue

@Nutomic I'm also looking at reddit's user based / private rss feeds, here It doesn't use a post param like I thought, just a unique and private hash associated for that user, which it tells you ne...
One small issue I have with Lemmy inbox rss is if I ser my poll rate to say ever 10 min there are times I may see a new message early and mark it as read. However 10 min later I get a new notification for the notification I just read from my inbox.
Sorted syntax and unsorted seem to be same file with no changes.
Any ideas?
Hi guys quick question about memmy's push notifications. Is the backened relying on polling the lemmy api (at a call rate of one api call per second)?~~ Or is it connecting to lemmy instances via websockets and relaying incoming websocket pushes? (lemmy uses long polling not web sockets 🤦 )
https://www.pubnub.com/blog/http-long-polling/
Looking at the code I'm guessing its relying on a polling based solution (but I might be wrong).
https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy-push/blob/1e698a8bdb5a8c7b5e96f96d328fd6235094a006/app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php#L5
Just curious 😉
Side note sorry this shows up as a YouTube short (idk how to force it as a regular video on mobile and ont know any other good free video hosts).
This PR modifies CORS behaviors so that when invoking from a different origin, the server will respond with the appropriate CORS headers that allow that origin instead of not including any header a...
The cors issue that was forcing wefwef to proxy traffic is finally been reviewed and merged. Most likely the next version of Lemmy 0.18.1 will support CORS.
This means wefwef won't needd to proxy requests and might be able to switch to static hosting 😊
Edit scratch that, it looks like a server load issue (posts are slowly trickling in). That being said still curious on where kbin's instance list is.
Hi guys I recently found a new community called floating is fun on kbin. Problem however is I can really only see one post when using lemmy.fmhy.ml.
https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/FloatingIsFun@fedia.io
by contrast lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/FloatingIsFun@fedia.io
Unlike lemmy which there is a instance tab to determine fediration blocks. I'm not sure where in kbin to look for such information.
Not sure if discrepencey is due to say server load or a federation ban.
