      Hey, question about Voyager, I’m using it, and if I’m on my main feed and hit the back button, it opens a list of subs, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get back to the feed without refreshing it. It’s veru frustrating because I keep losing track of the post I was just about to tap on. Do you know anything about this?

        If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.

        I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.

        This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.

        I’d make an issue on GitHub or maybe a post on https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp about it.

        One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It’s difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you’ve never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.

        I know it’s not for everyone. And apologies if I’m over explaining swiping.

          Not just a grace period, but opening the sub selection menu, I can no longer just close it and return to the view I already had. That view can stick around indefinitely if you enter a post and then back out of it, the posts you had before will remain. There will be no refresh. But when you press back one more time and open that menu, the only way back to the home feed is to select it, which will refresh it. The app has the ability to not refresh, but not in that very specific circumstance. Like literally just a button to close the menu would do the trick I think.

          But thanks for the information. This one issue has made me consider switching several times.
