Hello there,
I don’t know if it is a Voyager (2.34.0) problem or iOS (18.4.1) issue but since very recently, 2 weeks max, the app refresh itself almost every time you go back to it.
If you stay on a feed like home or local, scrolled down to older posts (order by newest), when you go back to Voyager 85% of the time it will reload and go back to the 1st post of the feed, thus losing your progression in the scroll addiction.
It also happens if you are inside a post instead of a feed. It happens whether you:
- “alt-tab” (swipe up) to another application then come back later
- Keep Voyager on the foreground and just lock your phone with the power button to enjoy life, then come back later.
It looks a lot like this bug report for android: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1789
As I said, I don’t know if it is an iOS update or Voyager update that caused that, but it is annoying to lose your position in the doom scrolling addiction.
It is a good cure to that addiction tho.
For losing your position, I recommend enabling and using the hide posts button. You can always temporarily unhide and/or reset by long pressing the hide button. 🙂
I’d say about 50% of reloads is an iOS bug where indexeddb crashes. Apple is aware of that one but they haven’t fixed it yet… so should get a bit better eventually.
Ok thanks for the explanation. I’ll try the hide post workaround.
