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).
Would it be possible to customize voyagers gestures (example change reply and hide when swiping left with upvote and save, etc).
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)
Hi guys out of curiosity how reliable is image uploads on bookwormstory.social? (curious since this instance has a relativly small userbase 100-200).
On lemmy.fmhy.ml (10k users) image uploading is kinda hit/miss with json errors when uploading images (frequently need to fall back on imgur).
Curious if these errors are due to bugs in lemmy or just the massive load in storing/serving images to users.
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).
The front end ui is down. Thirdparty apps that use lemmy api still work.
Maybe lj could go down the swift backup route where purchases are tied to a Google sign in to avoid play services? You could buy the app from Google play via web, download it via aurora, then validate via in app login.
https://swiftapps.org/faq#whygoogle
Down side is lj would need a verification server (although he has servers for Reddit sync Imgur which he could repurpose for billing).
Disclaimer I am not a dev just a rando lemmy, Lemite? (Idk what to call a lemmy user)
Second question would the US gov consider google "to big to fail" and just inject a ton of money to restore it (or give enought time to break it up)?
Kinda curious 😉
I doubt people will pay for a windows subscription. Most will stay on 10/11 indefinitely and Microsoft will probably backtrack pretty quickly (look at windows 10 to 11 migration) 😉
Hi guys weird question, I use lemmy's inbox RSS as a sort of pseudo push notification (currently using monito RSS discord bot polling at every 10 min).
I was considering dropping the poll rate to every 1-2 min. Out of curiosity is a rss poll rate of every 1-2 min acceptable or considered excessive.
Primary reason I was considering dropping the poll rate this low is to prevent a notification lag (ie when brosing lemmy via a 3rd party app after viewing and marking a message as read 10 min latter I get a inbox notification for the same message).
Curious on your thoughts
Mainly battery limitations (could prevent doze and/or cause a wake lock) and possible increase in server load for instances (your device would have to maintained a persistent connection to lemmy instance).
I kinda wonder if sync for lemmy can use a sort of hybrid aproach. For instance when sync for lemmy is in the forground it uses websockets with the lemmy instance to get push notifications. However once the app is exited (or after a predetermined perioed of time) sync could revert back to polled notifications. This is kinda similar to how lemmy web sends push notificaitons when opened as a tab but doesn't when closed.
Hi guys, out of curiosity when you used reddit sync did you use the notifications feature?
If so did you use push notifications from the official reddit app or polled notifications (ie sync checkes every 60min, 2hrs, etc)?
Lastly hypothetically if sync for lemmy had notifications features similar to sync for reddit would you use star/continue to use instant push notifications/polling based push notifications?
Curious on your thoughts.

Hi guys so something weird I noticed about youtube and their enhanced premium experiments. Last week I had enhanced premium availble as an option. I don't use youtube premium so I went with stock 1080p. Quality was kinda degreaded.
This week however the enhanced 1080p was missing but the video quality for 1080p looked considerably better
Any thoughts?

Hi guys sorry to bother. Newer versions of Jeroba 0.35.0 seem to only allow login on Lemmy instances 0.18.0.
Hi guys I couldn't really find a lemmy wearos community or galaxy watch community. I kinda made a post back on reddit in the past talking about how to get around certain limitations on galaxy watch 4/5 (like dnd sync, ecg, samsung pay button maping, etc). This repost also is kinda for me also since every so often I accidently unpair my watch and need to reset it. Anyway enough rambling rest of post is bellow :)
Hi guys I've noticed the gear watch 4/5 has a few nit picks:
- Do not disturb/bedtime mode only syncs with a samsung phone Work around: https://github.com/rhaeus/dnd-sync If your phone is on Android 13 follow this additional step to grant dnd permissions on phone: https://github.com/rhaeus/dnd-sync/issues/7
- ECG/BP monitering is only availble on samsung phones Work around (install modded version of samsung health moniter app on android phone and watch): credit to u/XDA-Dante63 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqfz67IUMuY https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/restrictions-removed-samsung-health-monitor-wearos-1-1-1-221-root-age-country-device-restriction-removed-25th-oct-2022.4322527/
- Samsung pay is hard mapped to the lower button even if google pay is set as default payment method: If your watch didn't come preinstalled with samsung pay:
- This method is prefered since this app spoofs the samsung pay package name and then launches gpay making it a bit more snappy. https://github.com/blunden/SPayToGPay If your watch came pre installed with samsung pay:
- As Samsung pay is already installed SPayToGPay cannot be installed due to Samsung pay already being present. This app allows you to launch another app of your choice when Samsung pay is opened. https://github.com/BigBoot/GW4Remap
Find my phone via Watch5 plugin doesn't work on android 13 Not sure how to fix the plugin I just use find my phone from google assistant as a workaround.(plug in works had issues with a prior custom rom install)
Hope this helps :)
Hi guys I use a discord rss bot "MonitoRSS" to scan my lemmy inbox rss feed every 10 minutes to sort of replicate push notifications for ios and android.
Is this poll rate to high or acceptable?
Additionally would increasing the referesh rate to every 1 min consume to much bandwith/harm the server?
Curious on your thoughts (not sure what entails fair use).
