It is planned but it probably will take a while to implement since lemmy doesn't support webpush api. Without web push their are only two ways to check for notifications (both aren't elegant):

1. Poll the lemmy api for new messages (say every min). This would be bandwith intensive for both voyager servers and your lemmy instance (Memmy does this and currently for 800 users 3gb of bandwith is used per day). Even if voyager is able to scale there servers to handle bandwith lemmy instances could impose rate limits which would prevent notifications from coming through.

2. Set up a weird janky system to intercept emails sent from lemmy instance to trigger a voyager server to ask the api if there are any new messages (would reduce poll rate but would be super clunky to setup).

Web push api could solve this issue since instead of voyager having to ask lemmy if their are new messages web push allows the opposite to happen (lemmy telling voyager a new message has arived).

Don't quote me on this (I could be horribly wrong). Voyager doesn't seem to use cookies rather it relies on Index db and local storage. Local storage stores your credentials for your accounts (jwt tokens), and index db stores your preferences. If DDG only is preserving cookies and wiping the local storage and index db (again I haven't tested DDG) then that would give a possible explanation on why you are getting logged out and potentially why any settings are getting reverted.

Edit article explaning difference between storage types:

Edit 2 It looks like ddg is clearing data and only preserving first party cookies (which isn't used for voyager):

Currently voyager cannot do this (It doesn't have any background refresh capabilities). Down the line it might be able to when push notification feature is implemented (and you enable it).

Ah missed that thanks for linking it 👍

Ah 😆

Ah sorry about load I’m relying on catbox.moe due to fhmy having issue with bulging uploader (Imgur is an alternative but on mobile it redirects to ad filled site 😔).

Sorry was working on writing the comment 😪

Main issue is when you embed image in body with no other text and attach an image a render bug shows up

Thanks for the suggestion for catbox.moe. Initially I was using imgur due apple shortcuts integration and api for tasker. However after trying out catbox.moe I relized their api is FAR more simpler than imgur to use (no junk json). Also unlike imgur it doesn't redirect to an ad filled site on mobile 🙂

Same

While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:

• Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don't mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.

• No chapter support

Podcast republic is a good alternative (assuming your just planning to use it on mobile/web)

Won't it not be different since all browsers on iOS (chrome, firefox, brave, etc) are forced to use WebKit unlike Android?
