My settings for default sort, appearance, favorites, etc. have reset twice this month, which I can't remember happening ever before. Is the problem on my end, or have there been app updates that required it?

I've found the backup/restore button now, so I can hopefully recover it next time.

This just happened to me too. I'm on 2.36.0 from f-droid

The worst part for me was that I lost my very long list of keyword filters :(

So odd! I've never experienced that before. Did you try restarting the phone? Also do you have offload unused apps enabled?

Just restarted to see, but no change. It's not acting like the app has been fully reset: I'm still logged in. It just forgets some settings (switching back to the large cards instead of compact, combined votes vs separate, etc.). The worst of it is that my favorites list is gone, because my community subscriptions need some serious pruning. I had just slowly built the list back after it happened a week or two ago, and then it did it again by this morning.

Also do you have offload unused apps enabled?

I'm on Android, so maybe I have whatever the equivalent of that is. Although I use Voyager every day, so I'd be surprised if that got triggered.

The only time I've had this is back when I thought the settings in the kebab menu (top right) controlled everything, until I realised the preferences in Settings > General are for that.

Not sure what's going in with your situation, though, sorry.

I all of a sudden have downvote buttons that are useless to me, was that bc of a settings reset? I can't find the dang setting again!

There's a setting to view votes as total/combined or separate. I usually have it display separately and had to toggle that back as well.

(Edit: wait, is blahaj one of those instances that has downvotes turned off?)

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean the downvote button itself re-appearing.

Yeah, because people downvote trans folks a lot as a form of transphobia.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh I see what you mean now. I figured it defaults to combined (at least on android), but if for some reason it's showing you a downvote button, you can tell it to go away.

Wait how do you tell it to go away? >~<

(I'm on beta so might be a new issue)

Edit: Edit icon also gone!

[–] aeharding@vger.social 2 points 1 day ago

You found a bug in the beta; it's a new issue!

Oh wait, for some reason I was picturing the votes on the post, not the buttons TO vote on a post. I think I need sleep.

If this happened to me, I didn’t notice, but it’s an easy thing to test. Are you on Android or iOS?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, I’m on iOS, so the way settings are stored may be very different.
