NOTE: This feature is currently being rolled out to the Apple and Google stores and should be available in the next day or two. However on desktop you can try it out right now (after enabling - see below) at https://vger.app/!

This is currently in BETA, and is turned off by default. On tablets and desktop, you can turn it on in Settings -> Appearance -> Layout. (The setting won't show up on phones.)

The right column is dedicated to viewing a specific post. The left column is for the regular navigation of the app.

Pro tip: On macOS, I recommend adding Voyager to your Dock (https://vger.app/) with Safari's new "Add to Dock" feature! Check out the above screenshot - it's quite slick.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Voyager's official Lemmy instance (as a benefit for Voyager supporters) is one year old! 🥳

vger.social started as an experiment, but I'm really happy with how it allows me to experiment with Lemmy, and it has been rock solid so far (knock on wood).

Thanks to all of Voyager's donors and contributors!

I'm curious what you Android users think of the Android vs Apple theme for the Voyager app.

• Which one do you prefer?
• Which one do you think should be the default for new/novice users? Why?

This would be the default, but don't worry, you will always be able to choose. I would also like to note that in the future Voyager will have a Material 3 theme, but not yet!

Thanks for your help!

Edit: thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I’ll probably make android the default theme on android for new users.

Hey there!

I just published Voyager's new promo site at https://getvoyager.app/. This site is intended to be an easy way to share the app with your friends and family. Let me know what you think! I'm hoping to roll out a couple more improvements to user onboarding soon™️, so stay tuned.

In other news, I hope you like the latest app update! ICYMI: the video player was significantly revamped, you can now upload videos (assuming lemmy instance support: keep reading...), and Android users can now long press links to preview the url, as well as for share/copy/open options.

Speaking of videos: If you've ever wondered why videos sometimes fail to play in iOS, it's because many Lemmy instances are misconfigured. Please share this site I just published with your Lemmy admin to help debug issues: https://aeharding.github.io/lemmy-streaming Around 50% of instances are misconfigured 😳 so I really appreciate your help on getting the word

I recently got fiber internet and wanted to bypass all ISP equipment with the was110. Since I needed a router with SFP (I've had an Edgerouter-X for years) I decided to go switch to Mikrotik.

The l009 is such a nice router! I ended up pairing it with a cheap no-name multi gigabit managed switch (4x 2.5gb rj45 and 2x sfp+ for high speed transfers to my NAS) and a Mikrotik wAP AX for wifi, which is powered through the passive PoE on the l009.

I've been playing with LACP bonding, VLANs, firewalling and IPv6 and there is so much to it. It is such a great way to learn.

Mikrotik is a pretty cool company too. Fair prices, based the EU, have a fediverse presence (shout out @mikrotik@mikrotik.social) and support old hardware pretty much forever.

Granted, their equipment has a quite high learning curve. But if you have the time and patience, it is really rewarding.

I've feel like I've used Plex forever. I also feel like every couple years I try Jellyfin to see how it's going. Recently I tried it again because of Plex restriction on more than one user.

Well, I just tried it again and it's substantially improved! This time it actually properly detected most of my library!

Also the Android TV app is AWESOME! No more glitches, lagging, and freezing trying to play my stuff like Plex did. It is butter smooth.

Wow! I'm impressed and I just deleted Plex. Good riddance.

Well I couldn't find this on the internet anywhere-

I was having issues setting up active-backup bonding on my Mikrotik router via this guide.

Whenever I turned on both interfaces, I experienced packet loss.

The solution was to TURN OFF hardware offloading. It doesn't work with active-backup. The docs even say it doesn't work with hardware offloading, but it failed in a way that was hard for me to debug.

So yeah! Now works great, router <-> unmanaged switch with bond bridged.

Voyager F-droid/Github/Standalone releases on lemmyapps.com say last updated 9 months ago, but that's not right

1. Fitted sheet must have label on bottom right seam
2. Salted butter wrapping text must be red. Unsalted blue.

Radiation fog - Dane County, Wisconsin

Anyone else noticing? It seems to be affecting other instances as well, since instances hot link to eachother.

The rate limiting seems to get much worse in the evenings.

Agenda: https://conf.react.dev/agenda

Hey there! Voyager for Lemmy dev here.

As I've been adding more mod and admin feature to Voyager, I've realized that self-hosting my own Lemmy instance may help me improve Lemmy moderation and administration in Voyager.

But I had another thought: Why not open up registration to Voyager supporters? It's a win-win: I get more real-world experience administrating a Lemmy instance, and Voyager supporters get a fun additional benefit!

Introducing https://vger.social/ :)

Q&A

• Q: Who can sign up? A: Those who donate any amount on a monthly basis, or those who have contributed a few PRs to Voyager
• Q: How do you track donations? A: It's the honor system.
• Q: Will Voyager keep support for other Lemmy instances? A: Of course! Nothing is changing there, vger.social is just another Lemmy instance.
• Q: Will vger.social work with other Lemmy apps? A: Absolutely! It's just a vanilla Lemmy instance.

Why use vger.social

• Guaranteed compatibil
