iOS, Voyager is reloading too much (jlai.lu)

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.
