Hey there!

I just published Voyager’s new promo site at https://getvoyager.app/. This site is intended to be an easy way to share the app with your friends and family. Let me know what you think! I’m hoping to roll out a couple more improvements to user onboarding soon™️, so stay tuned.

In other news, I hope you like the latest app update! ICYMI: the video player was significantly revamped, you can now upload videos (assuming lemmy instance support: keep reading…), and Android users can now long press links to preview the url, as well as for share/copy/open options.

https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/releases/tag/2.26.0

Speaking of videos: If you’ve ever wondered why videos sometimes fail to play in iOS, it’s because many Lemmy instances are misconfigured. Please share this site I just published with your Lemmy admin to help debug issues: https://aeharding.github.io/lemmy-streaming Around 50% of instances are misconfigured 😳 so I really appreciate your help on getting the word out to admins! 🫡

    Thanks for that site for testing configuration for streaming video! Lemmy.NZ was failing but is fixed now.

    In our case it was Cloudflare, I configured it to bypass the cache and it’s resolved. Kinda defeats half the purpose of Cloudflare though haha so I will probably adjust it to do images but not video or something like that.

      I pasted a specific screenshot elsewhere in this thread showing how to filter on just requests with a range header

        Thanks! I have set ours up like that now too.

        It seems Cloudflare should support range requests from the cache, but it might be a bit tricky to set up and perhaps not possible on a free plan. I read a bit about it but have given up for now.

      Awesome, thanks so much for checking!

      Regarding cloudflare, I know the lemmy.zip admin (@Demigodrick@lemmy.zip was somehow able to get it working with caching, but I’m not sure how. I know the lemmy.world admins were having issues with it though and haven’t been able to work around it yet. LMK if you do figure it out!
